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??

reply

I've never been in a situation where I could whip off my shades, fire off a proper squint and say 'I've got a crazy plan but it just might work...'

Life has been fairly boring so far:/

reply

LOL. I just got a mental picture of you dressed like Columbo.

reply

That's a compliment
Columbo is way cooler and better dressed than me👍

reply

But Columbo in shades?? 😎 Hard to look cool getting out of a beater car in a rumpled coat. 🤣 No matter how well you squint.

reply

My squinting game is tight
😠...that's all I could find

reply

Sadly, I have never had to infitrate a top secret underground Laboratory
I'm starting to suspect they don't even exist...TV is all lies!

reply

You don't know what you don't know. I just might know of a top secret underground laboratory.

You won't be able to infiltrate it, though.

reply

😉bet I could!

reply

🤣

I still expect to have to land a jumbo jet at some point...Ted Striker and Gary Coleman got to do that so why not me?

Your loved one runs through the entire airport to reach you.

reply

I assume my loved ones don't much care for me because this has never happened:(

My loved ones are jerks!!!

reply

You can't do that anymore. Too many security stops. 😝

reply

Kissing in the rain is romantic and not at all cold and horrible.

reply

Yep, just like that beach scene in From Here to Eternity.

reply

Yes!
How much sand must have got up their buttholes?
That's the exact opposite of sexy😳

reply

Hot wiring a car.
Also, having to choose between the red wire, or the blue.

reply

Good ones! Why do these comments make me laugh so much?
😂

reply

Awesome examples Laura

I still want to try and hotwire a car (this will almost certainly end in failure)

And Yes! The bomb is about to go off and we have to clip the right wire...Can't say I want to try this one 😳 but I say we clip the red!

reply

💣💥

Oops, should have cut the other one. 🤕

reply

Jeez...it was the yellow wire all along💥💥💥

reply

Swinging on vines
It does not work
The vines around these parts snap and you wind up ass over tea kettle in the mud!

Just once I would have liked a good vine-swinging

Denied:(

reply

It must be why we see so many videos on YouTube of people crashing at the old swimming hole. But, but, but it works in the movies!

reply

Oh crap, they were filming that???

reply

you are cracking me up today!
but, yeah that vine thing....keep making an ass of myself.

reply

Ha!
Looks so easy in the movies...broke my ass every time lol

reply

Glad I could help!

reply

This bothers me. You see this in desert movies and old Westerns. People go days without water and when they finally find water they just take a sip.

reply

Sort of goes along with characters who are served coffee or whatever, and never drink it.

reply

Or they drink it right after it's served. Movie and TV coffee is always the right temperature.

reply

You're right about coffee temperature! I never thought about that.

reply

bothers me too. I live in the Sonoran Desert, people DIE. It's a real thing, you don't go anywhere without extra water.
