26 Things People Constantly Do in Movies That Literally No One Does in Real Life

If you've ever yelled "No one does that!" at your screen, congratulations - you've witnessed the magic of Hollywood logic. Someone over on /AskReddit asked, "What's something people do in movies and shows that never happens in real life?" and the responses were a cinematic reality check. We're talking about people who hang up without saying goodbye, wake up with perfect eyeliner, or deliver Oscar-worthy monologues in the middle of life-threatening situations. 

And let's not even start on the infamous defibrillator trope - no, you can't just zap someone back to life like they're a broken router. Turns out, a lot of what we "know" about life is actually just stuff we saw in movies and the biggest problem with TV and movie writers is that they love TV and movies a little bit too much - most of their knowledge of how the world works arrives from… TV and movies. These 26 examples pull back the curtain on just how ridiculous our favorite TV and movie moments really are.
