Ten things that only happen on TV

But it is a very rare occurance. Most of my everyday conversations don't revolve around the major things happening in mine or other people's lives. Yes they do feature but not as heavily as on TV.
 
Someone being questioned by the police and carry on making the dinner or re-potting a plant. In real life you'd be so worried you'd stop doing what you were doing instantly.
 
I love it best when they decide to emigrate..........they announce it in a dramatic fashion in one episode and within a week they are packed and heading for the airport for the other side of the world. No worries about getting visas or packing their lives up and sorting everything out.
 
No one pays for their crimes.




For example Phil Mitchell in Eastenders recently started a fire in his mums pub. The pub was full of people. Including a screaming baby. But Phil's out and about living life as if nothing happened.

Also in Eastenders Tanya burried her husband alive and completely got away with it. Again, out and about as if nothing happened.

Eastenders is probably the best example of characters getting away with things.

In real life, even for the most minor misdemeanor, the police will not stop until their making someone suffer for it.
 
Every time a soap skips from one location to another, then another, they always have the same radio station playing and at Christmas, they'll always be listening to carols. I don't know anyone who tunes into a carol-playing radio station at Christmas - is there such a thing?

Space-invading - whenever two people are talking to each other, they stand about 6 inches apart. If someone did this to me in real life, I'd take at least one step back, as they'd be invading my space (unless they were about to snog me!).

Another thing that happens all the time, is two people talking about a third person who is within touching distance and miraculously, can't hear them.
 
Flagrant wastes of food. Meals ordered in restaurants and cafes are rarely eaten as one of the party invariably flounces out. If someone is late home for a meal, said meal is tipped into the bin, no thought of reheating it the next day.

(As someone has already pointed out, there are a couple of threaRAB already going around on this theme.)
 
An episode a couple of months ago had a guy putting his head in the oven, after he decided against slashing his wrist with a carving knife. In full view of his wife, who just stood there without protesting/crying/screaming etc

Complete load of tripe :D:D
 
Characters (usually in EE) discovering they had relatives they never knew about

People driving cars in London and instantly finding parking spaces, also finding telephone boxes that worked

Virtually 100% of characters who don't smoke, unlike real life where lots of people still smoke

People in EE buying take-out wine, beer in the Queen Vic when it would be much cheaper round the corner in the mini-mart
