What "fake" thing that happens in movies pisses you off?

Reddit judged best answers... 

When they pull the fire alarm and every single fire sprinkler head goes off spraying water everywhere.

Chloroform won't knock you out in seconds, it takes about 5 minutes of huffing on a soaked rag

When their cups are empty. How hard would it be to put something, anything, into those damn cups?!

Living happily ever after in scary movies. Sure the protagonist defeated the evil spirit, but that same evil spirit killed all of his/her friends or family. You cannot tell me the police will believe that an evil spirit was the cause of a building full of dead teens.

I have been in the HVAC industry for over a decade and it makes me crazy when people crawl through ductwork in movies and then just pop out of a grille (that has hinges for some dumb reason) and then they're in another room. Ductwork is full of razor sharp rib pins, itchy ass insulation and tons of screws that we use to suspend it. Oh and there is no mysterious blue illumination in ductwork...its dark as a tomb in there. fucking Die Hard...

Anything to remotely do with electricity, people see it as this whole, it's uncontrollable and if you cut a wire sparks will fly and it'll do whatever the fuck it wants when the truth is, nowadays the worst thing that happens is you'll trip the RCD or breaker.

"Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report"

"In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington."

The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.

And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.

Jack Welch, former GE CEO, raised questions, at the time, in a tweet, which, Chris Matthews and Anderson Cooper chose to focus on the tone of the tweet and not so much on the allegation. 

Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.

And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.

“He’s not the only one,” said the source, who asked to remain anonymous for now but is willing to talk with the Labor Department and Congress if asked.

Andrea Peyser: ‘Uncomfortable truth’ in Matthew Shepard’s death

"Stephen Jimenez didn’t set out to be the most dangerous journalist on earth.

Or, more to the point, the most dangerous gay journalist.

But Jimenez unearthed a story that few people wanted to hear. And it calls into question everything you think you know about the life and death of one of the leading icons of our age.

Matthew Shepard, college student. Killed, at 21, for being gay.

Or was he?

Jimenez’s “The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths About the Murder of Matthew Shepard,” out last month, challenges every cultural myth surrounding Shepard’s short life and unspeakable death. After some 13 years of digging, including interviews with more than 100 sources, including Shepard’s killers, Jimenez makes a radioactive suggestion:

The grisly murder, 15 years ago this month, was no hate crime.

Shepard’s tragic and untimely demise may not have been fueled by his sexual orientation, but by drugs. For Shepard had likely agreed to trade methamphetamines for sex. And it killed him.
