The BuzzFeed Community explored common tropes in movies and TV that would seem bizarre in reality. Examples include characters being fired with an impossibly small box of belongings, magically finding parking spots, and the odd seating arrangements seen in shows. Other unrealistic scenarios include characters misunderstanding conversations due to selective eavesdropping, and fights being resolved with a simple introduction. Responses illustrate how certain scripted moments, while entertaining on screen, feel awkward when compared to real-life interactions.
