It's no secret that TV shows and movies are notorious for being completely unrealistic. We've all seen the fairytale love stories that only happen in Disney flicks, and the ridiculous car chases and action scenes from the entire Fast & Furious franchise. Then there are the less significant but still inaccurate things, like the way hackers operate.
In a viral Reddit thread, people are answering the question: "What are things Hollywood has tricked the general population into believing?"
There were so many great responses! It seems people are incredibly passionate about unrealistic tropes in movies and TV shows.
Here are 20 of the best and most hilarious answers.
1. Luxury apartments
That people with normal jobs can afford the most luxurious of apartments in New York, San Francisco, etc.
2. That love is always enough
That as long as you love someone, it'll work out. Never mind the amount of work it takes to make a relationship work, or that how you feel about someone can change because both of you change.

3. Paramedics
Paramedics are constantly running and push the stretcher into the ER at breakneck speed with doctors and nurses running alongside down the hallways.
4. Hollywood is glamorous
That LA is clean and Hollywood is glamorous (LA is not clean and Hollywood the neighborhood has some of the worst homelessness and after leaving a show on Sunday I nearly walked through piss steaming downhill right off Hollywood boulevard)
5. How explosions work
You can outrun a giant explosion.
Explosions gently push you 10 feet but never burn all the skin, clothes, and hair off your body.
6. High school
High schools are full of gorgeous people who always have fun and adventures. The mean people are obvious, and your grades will always improve in the nick of time as long as you study the night before.
7. CPR is always the answer
That CPR brings practically anybody back to life, no matter what happened to them.
8. Zoom and enhance
Zoom and enhance is my least favorite Hollywood trope. What’s worse is I’ve seen several plots on TV shows resolved using that method, showing that, in reality, the killer or villain would easily have gotten away since enhancing to Hollywood levels isn’t a thing.
9. Breakfast isn't the most important meal
Mom or dad can make a huge breakfast to cover an entire dining room table, but kids will choose school over breakfast. They'll just grab a piece of toast and say, 'Gotta go!' or 'I’ll be late!'
10. Being persistent...
If you keep bothering her long enough, she will fall for you.
This one is genuinely dangerous. For all of Hollywood's lip service to #MeToo, they continue to put out movies that encourage men to stalk and sexually harass women.
11. It's harmless
That you can shoot somebody in the leg, and it’s harmless.
12. Take the air vents!
Air conditioning ducts are an easy way to sneak through buildings.
13. K.O.
Knocking people out with a blow to the skull or jaw is a harmless way to temporarily incapacitate.
Any blow to the head that renders you unconscious is quite serious. If you're unconscious for more than about a minute the chances of you everwaking up start to go down drastically the longer it takes.
14. No recoil
Firearms, no matter how ludicrously large, have no recoil when fired.
15. Incognito
That helicopters can sneak up out of nowhere.
16. Grenade tabs
You can pull the tab off a hand grenade with your teeth, it’s more like the tab of the grenade pulls your teeth out.
17. Tap, tap, tap
Hackers that furiously tap on the keyboard for 30 seconds..."I'm in."
18. Dodge that!
That missiles/rpg rounds are slow and easily dodge-able by a human. RPG rounds fly at 300m per second, you are not dodging that.
19. Going rogue
Rogue detectives/law enforcement going awol and working cases they were told not to, then have their entire unit cheering for them when they get the bad guy or rescue someone.
20. Say it ain't so...
Dying people are alert and oriented and able to talk until they murmur their last words, close their eyes, then sigh a final breath.
Love, Your friendly neighborhood hospice nurse who has to battle this trope constantly.
