What problem or situation...😨


...did TV or movies make you think might be common, but when you grew up you found out it wasn’t?

I sometimes worried about quicksand. Has anyone here even seen quicksand??

reply

I never stumbled onto a dead body someone had dumped during all of my hiking or fishing trips when I was younger.

reply

Me neither...you'd think that would be more common
Glad it's not tbh😳

reply

It also seems to be fairly common with someone walking a dog in a movie.

reply

I do encounter a ton of litter...who tosses beer cans and sandwich wrappings around when fishing at a pretty lake!?!
People can be real dirtbags

reply

And yet corpses are often left in dumpsters or discovered at the city landfill.

reply

True
I watch a bunch of true crime stuff...it's pretty absurd how people think they can dispose of bodies!
People are dumb

Parking garages are death traps for women.

reply

Yes!! I gotta admit this thought is always at the back of my mind when I'm in one.

reply

me too, same with the back alley thing.

Oh - how about this one, starting your car, only to notice there is a stranger in the back seat. Yikes.

reply

OMG! How did we miss this one??

reply

I've also never even come close to forgetting the baby in the car.
Jesus, whats wrong with those people?

reply

I know! Just how distracted do you have to be to forget your child is in the car with you?? I just can't imagine!

reply

I never met anyone that inherited a castle and a sizeable fortune from a long lost Uncle

reply

Funny, I've never met anyone who inherited a kingdom either. You know, where some cute young woman turns out to be the long-lost niece and sole heir to King Henry of some tiny country called Kornovia.

reply

This really sounds like the plot of a movie I had to watch when my little sister got to the remote first...can't think of the name though

reply

I'm sure there have been several with variations on this theme.

reply

No doubt...The Princess Diaries for instance

reply

I've never been in a crowd where someone running from the cops is colliding with and desperately pushing others out of his way.

reply

Me neither
Never saw a cop car chase a suspect's vehicle down a narrow alley while plowing through trash piles either

reply

And the suspect manages to throw down several obstacles in the path of the pursuing officer.

reply

Not quicksand like television but there are beaches where you can easily become stuck and drown and if not rescued. I have also found isolated patches of sand/mud that were difficult to get out of and sometimes pulled my boots off.

To answer the question: people rationally discussing something, anything really.

reply

Jumping through the air sideways with two pistols blazing at gangsters...I have never seen this even once

reply

Jumping anywhere with two guns blazing.

reply

It's really not a good idea😳

reply

I'm so bored with explosions, that I just walk away without even looking back.

reply

Explosions that can be survived without a scratch as long as you dive to the ground and cover your head.

reply

the old 'duck and cover'.

reply

I like to strut away from my car in a parking lot, raise my remote alarm thingy and press it twice...when the horn beeps I feel like an action star strolling away from an explosion!
Like I'm out of shape Vin Diesel going to Shoprite:)

reply

I've never been on the verge of a life-changing kiss only to be interrupted by a phone call with information that causes one of us to have to rush away causing the moment to be completely lost.

reply

What?? You mean this has never happened to you? Not even once? 😁

reply

NEVER answer the phone when kissing!
