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??

Yes! I stepped into quicksand a looooong time ago. It was scary! I was told not to try and step out of it, but to lie outside the sand pit and pull myself out. It worked. The really scary part was that the sand pit didn't look any different than the sand surrounding it.
shareWhere were you when it happened? I mean, what kind of geography was it? River bed, swamp, lake, the jungle? I'm curious.
shareI was in No. California, the river bed of the Rogue River.
shareSounds like a pretty innocent place. Who knew it could happen there?? Wow. It would freak me out. I can only hope that I never have to experience it. I'm not so sure I'd have my wits about me enough to remember that advice.
Luckily I wasn't alone! It did freak me out, but I tried to remain calm.
shareI just saw Happy Death Day 2U and it reminded me that college movies and TV shows made me think that when I went to college I'd be interacting with the Dean of students on a regular basis (mostly so he could try to bust me for a variety of hijinx). Alas I never once met the Dean of students during my 5 years of college (yes I said 5, get off my back).
shareGood one. Now that you mention it, I never met the dean of my college, either. I understand that these days a significant percentage of students are unable to complete a 4-year degree in 4 years. I get it. No shame there.
shareTurns out that 4 bed/3 bath 2500 square foot apartments in the city are prohibitively expensive
'Friends' was lying to us the whole time!
Housewives wear nice dresses, high heels, and pearls when they do the housework.
shareI was so pissed when I figured this one out
Sweat pants and hoodies with slippers turned out to be the wife uniform around the house:/
I should probably shut up...a hunting coat and grungy jeans aint much better😉
I have never been nor had occasion to blackmail anybody
Blackmail was rampant on TV...WTH?
