    I used to think the same about 24:

    Jack: Chloe they've just got into a supermarket
    Chloe: OK I'm just accessing the club card database, I can see that they have a voucher for 2for1 on Toothpaste so will be in the personal care section
    Jack: I can't see them?
    Chloe: (TYPES a bit) I have just accessed the CCTV - I'm just overlaying it onto the maps application on your PDA
    Jack: That's great - can you hack into my house CCTV and see if there's anything on the shopping list I should pick up whilst I'm here?
    Chloe: I've just run a scan on your blood pressure and you need to eat something high in iron - grab a jar of marmite on your way out
    Jack: Will do. Can you please access the sewer system and cause an impromptu flood to stop the suspects from escaping whilst I use the self checkout
    Chloe: already done. I've created a 3 minute delay, exactly

    Yep - one would think that they would make CCTV footage the best it could be first time. I can't imagine there are many scenarios where they go - this is too clear, please can you fuzz it up a little bit. Why not just start with the clearest possible image>

    So they don't have to cover their boobs with the sheet afterwards.

    The blokes often have their pants on when they get out of bed, too. That helps for a quick getaway, of course.

    There is a lot of shagging up the wall in films and TV which always goes off pretty seamlessly. This is despite it being in real life a bit of a feat that requires well matched partners in height or excellent athleticism.

    Generally when Mrs Moose and I give it a go we’ll pack it in after a few minutes and put the kettle on.

    Also the equivalent to this, particularly in soaps is the regularity that somebody opens the front door to leave their house, and somebody is about to knock on their door just as it’s opened. Has never happened to me once in my entire life.

    The two that always used to get me in dramas were people not locking their car when they got out of it and not finishing their pint when they left the pub.

    Anyone can fly a plane. You just need some smartarse in the control tower to tell you what to do.

    People always ring each other or pop around and say one or two sentences only and then leave or ring off without goodbyes.
