20 Everyday Challenges Movies & TV Make Look Incredibly Difficult

Clueless1 So, my semi-popular articles detailing everyday challenges that movies and TV shows make look easy have had a few of our reader's talking. I thought, "well, the only thing that parallels my hatred for things that I have problems with being made to look easy is my hatred for things that I deal with all the time that are made to look like huge deals." Surely, I'm not the only person who hates the way Hollywood makes a big mess over things that we all have to handle on our own without the praise our fictional counterparts receive. While reading through this list, I welcome all readers to pat themselves on the back for surviving through some of the most average problems they successfully overcome without getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars to do so. Feel free to leave your favorite menial task that is made to look like building the pyramids in Egypt in the comments section below, should it not have made it to this list.

20. Washing Your Dog

Starting the list at number twenty is a task that a lot of us face every two to three weeks, at least. Dogs get stinky and they need baths. Whether you bathe your dog in the family tub or outside with the garden hose, you know as well as I do that is just isn't as hard to wash your dog as they make it look in the movies. I have one of those dogs that hates water. The hardest part is getting her in the tub. Once she's in there, it's a piece of cake. Why? Because she listens to me. She knows I'm in charge and she knows that if she acts up, she won't get a treat for being a "good girl". I can't believe that every character who has ever had a dog in any movie or TV show has no control over it.
