11. Buying Drugs
This may not be considered an average, every day thing, but with the way characters get access to heavy narcotics in a moments notice, it was hard not to include this phenomenon on the list. I remember high school parties with alcohol no one was old enough to consume and college was filled with marijuana and cocaine infused jam sessions and it really made me wonder. Is it really that easy to get drugs these days? Its actually not, especially if you dont know a guy. Every movie or TV show about drugs, whether it be consuming or selling, is possible simply because characters know a guy or know a guy who knows a guy. In real life, how do you even go about getting to know a guy? It cant be an easy thing to slip into a conversation...
10. Putting Pandora Back In The Box
There are countless movies and TV shows involving scenes based around romp-style comedic adventure. Usually resulting in a frantic clean-up of a parent-less house, characters are awarded with praise by audience members for having gotten away with a major party or something along those lines and not having to suffer any consequences due to their ability to cover their tracks. Who can forget the sigh of relief associated with The Breakfast Clubs ability to get back into the library before anyone knows they have been traipsing around the hallways unescorted? Putting Pandora back in her box is not so easy for real world people like you and me. We always leave one string left untied, even if that string is the guilt on our own faces. Nine times out of ten we get caught, but not to worry, it doesnt ever dissuade us from doing crazy things and trying to get away with them later.
