10 Annoying Ways Movies Always Get Real Life Wrong

8. Turning The Water On When You're Already In The Shower

Here's a small one that you probably haven't even realised, but nine times out of ten when someone jumps in the shower in a movie, they always turn the water on after they've stripped off and are standing butt-naked in the tub.

It's almost always for dramatic purposes - whether someone's sitting down and crying, staring off into space or about to be murdered by a mother-loving serial killer - but in real life those serious dramatic beats would be totally ruined by characters recoiling in horror when the water comes out ice cold.

Especially if you've got a pretty crappy heating system, your average shower routine will no doubt be spent mostly outside of the shower itself, trepidatiously running your hand under the water to see if it's warm and freaking out when the boiler hasn't heated up yet.

People in movies don't have time for that though, and a bit of cold water isn't going to stop them from getting the dramatic shower they so desperately need. If anything, it would probably help add to their super-serious woe-is-me breakdown.
