One thing that has always bugged me in movies is that 3 seconds is enough time to tell someone everything they need to know on the phone. I know that it's not very interesting to see someone stay on the phone for two minutes saying, "Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Right. Got it, thanks!" but being able to get a full exposition about something in the time it takes most people to say, "Hello, is Bob there?" is really pushing it.

Also, has anyone else noticed that no one ever says, "Goodbye" on the phone in movies or on TV? It's always, "Right. Got it, thanks!" [click].

People being late for school buses is another one that gets me. You always see the parents saying, "Hurry up, you'll be late for school," and then you hear the school bus honk the horn outside, like they're waiting for the kids. I don't know about anyone else, but if I wasn't at the bus stop when the school bus arrived, the bus would just go right by, and wouldn't stop and wait to see if I was late.
