Things in the movies you never see in real life

Sure, movies are not supposed to be real.  We know that.   But that doesn't stop me from being annoyed by things that just don't ring true.  Here is a list of 15 things we see in the movies that you rarely, if ever see in real life!~

1.     Lovers kiss passionately in moments of extreme danger or excessive stress, or anything that is not remotely conducive to romantic, tender feelings.

2.    Cell phones work in every conceivable scenario EXCEPT in moments of the greatest danger.  Never mind that in Journey to the Center of the Earth, they were able to receive a phone call from 3ooo miles beneath solid granite....if you go 2 miles out of town and are being chased by a boogie man....forget about it.  No signal.  Ever.

3.     Two people get within half an inch of each other’s faces to have a conversation.

4.    A car always starts right away…except when the driver is trying to flee from a dangerous situation.

5.    A woman runs from danger in the woods…. and trips just as she is about to escape.

6.     Someone gets into a car without actually taking a set of keys out of his pocket

7.    Someone enters a room, expecting to find a person (who is not there) and gets half way through a conversation with the imaginary person before even realizing he’s talking to no one.

8.    Explosions and engines in outer space that actually make a sound (which is impossible with no air)

9.    Mothers preface their children’s name with the possessive “my” as in “My Jimmy isn’t dead!  He’s just lost”

10.Someone pulls up to a hospital, concert hall, school, or police station and actually manages to find a parking space 10 feet from the front door!

11.  Parking is always, miraculously free!

12. People answer the phone and start talking before they have the phone up to their lips, and sometimes even get out two or three sentences with the caller before verifying who is on the other end, as in "Sarah, be careful! He knows we're on to him!  Sarah?  This IS you, isn't it?  Oh oh."

13.  Men don’t say “goodbye” when they finish a phone conversation

14. White men are the only criminals

15. A couple starts off hating each other and then ends up falling madly in love
