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??

I have never met a single person that slept with a loaded pistol under their pillow
Just seems like a bad idea!

It's fun, isn't it? What we think we learn from movies. Ha, ha.

Neither was I, but I did hear about one at this large high school I went to for a year. Apparently sometime before I went there, my fellow students told me about a massive cafeteria fight that involved spaghetti. I have a feeling pasta became extremely unpopular for a few months with the staff there.

I remember custard pie fights were quite common in films and TV when I was a kid (are they still a thing?). Anyway, I’ve never been in one.

Ha!
Me and a couple neighbor boys tried this just for laughs many years ago...Cool Whip in a pie tray

Those trays could really bust your nose...it hurts!

Every time someone mentions Cool Whip, I'm taken right back to Family Guy (again).

Why are you saying it like that?

I've never stumbled across a drum of toxic waste in a nearby creek
I really thought that would happen constantly

Do any of us actually have a nemesis?

I may be my own worst enemy
Does that count?

reply

yes, definitely. Lots of Jekyll/Hyde tropes.

Just my luck!

Yes.

I have never had to enter a talent show in order to win $50,000 to help my parents with the mortgage

Never encountered a killer cyborg hell-bent on my destruction...Really thought that would be a thing by now
