What problem or situation...😨


...did TV or movies make you think might be common, but when you grew up you found out it wasn’t?

I sometimes worried about quicksand. Has anyone here even seen quicksand??

reply

Couples in movies often wake up and start making out and screwing...
How's about nope!

I want coffee, a shower and a proper toothbrushing...you need it too babe!

reply

Rather disappointed that I never had a violent showdown in a smokey warehouse with Cuban gangsters or Arab terrorists or whatever...
Never even got fitted for a sexy muscle/commando vest gosh-dammit:(

You do such a good job of describing your "entries!"
😁😝😬🤭😨🤔😩🤨🤪😂😟🤣

I never experienced the 'Jocks vs Nerds' thing...I can't recall anyone that has to be honest

reply

I have never seen a ninja (maybe they were there but I'll be damned if I saw them!)
I haven't even seen Michael Dudikoff!

reply

You haven't met my granddaughter. Oh wait. Um, Ninja Turtle - not quite the same.

Close enough

London being foggy all the time a la Sherlock Holmes films.

reply

Good one Andy
I just assume it is constantly foggy in London...also, it's always the evening and the gaslights are on, maybe a horse carriage passes by...

Maybe I'm just a dumb American lol!

reply

Not at all mate. My Indonesian wife is always taking the piss out if me because in every Hollywood film ever made, every time the caption says ‘England’, it’s always raining.

It doesn’t bloody rain here all the time, honestly!

reply

I'll take your word Andy👍
But as a dopey Yank I'm picturing you in a Deerstalker cap, lighting a pipe and chasing criminals around the damp streets😉

Keep an eye out for those waterfalls!

We’re veering heavily towards Family Guy territory now (I’ll get my spats on).

reply

Ha!
I gotta look this up
Been years since I watched

reply

Just watch any episode where they take the piss out of the British; Seth MacFarlane has got it pretty well spot on.

reply

True confession time...us Yanks joke on you Brits often...truth is most of us love the English and figure you all can take a joke👍
A 'dumbass New Yorker' joke would hit the spot right now😉

reply

I lived in the States for a while and I have dual nationality, so totally get where you’re coming from. Us Brits are famous for our self deprecating humour.

If you can laugh at yourself, you’re pretty well invincible.

reply

Damn straight...we'd all be fools to not laugh at ourselves from time to time

Where did you live over here?

reply

Orlando. I was back & forth across the Atlantic between 77’-84’ (aged 10-17).

reply

You sure picked a nice area👍

reply

Oh yeah, and everyone in England behaving like Victorian or Baby Boomer Brits and only coming from London. Turns out they're nothing like that now, and their teeth have even improved.

reply

We either have a 'Landan' Cockney accent or we speak like Hugh Grant.

reply

I have never been to a diner and had a waitress say 'kiss my grits!'
I'm probably going to the wrong diners:(

reply

Nobody I know keeps their car keys tucked into the sun visor...that's really stupid!

reply

I keep renewing my CPR certification...Never have used it once

Kind of glad...the mouth to mouth bit could be really gross
