Yep. Me too. There used to be a TV add for a children's album (vinyl, so it's been years ago) that had the song "Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch" with 2 children hoeing a garden. I laughed everytime I saw it.

Lifetime show about the newborn being kidnapped and sold. When the real mother was searching for information she had on high heels and her purse on her shoulder the whole time she was climbing into a house window. And while the police came up and stopped her. She never used the purse as a weapon so I don't know the reason to carry it. We were betting on when it would fall off her shoulder again.

I just assume they all are idiots. WAYYYYY back when there was a show called the Rifleman. It drove my cousin, who was staying with us, crazy. "That's not a rifle, that's a carbine. It's out of period for the show." In fact, he always commented on the guns in any Western show. Having been raised by a US Army guns expert, the inconsistancies drove him nuts.

Yep, those things bother me, too. The movie "Super 8" was lots of fun but I had a hard time getting by the fact that one of the characters rammed a freight train head-on causing a spectacular derailment and LIVED.
Another one of my peeves used to be the way characters used an axe, obviously ignorant and inexperienced in every phase of felling, chopping, splitting etc. Not many shows with axe work (except horror movies) anymore so I can relax on that one.

I can't stand when a character comes in the house and doesn't shut the door. I don't know why that bothers me so much but sometimes I can't focus on what's happening, I just keep thinking "shut the door - you're letting the cold in or a/c out!"

I remember that the "Quilted" Northern toilet paper had the little ladies sitting around with knitting needles... quilting. That went on for years before they changed the needles.
