Whenever a character needs to be cut themselves to draw blood. They cut the palm of their hand. Which is painful and not the smarted place to cut.

This one bugs me to. You could stick a finger, but they disable their hand and cur muscle.

Ugh! You just reminded me of Lord Courtney (Ralph Bates) in Taste The Blood of Dracula. Incidentally, when the Count's spirit is excorcised, the body on the altar should have been Courtney's.

Same with food. I hate how they waste the food. Or they eat three fries and put the plate to the side to talk any further.

Succession would drive you spare, though of course the wastage is intentional.

There was something recently I can't quite remember that drove me mad, where the characters got noodles at a table but then they make a connection or whatever on their case and just wander off, leaving their food. I don't care who you are, you can't run any kind of investigation on an empty stomach.

The reason they don't eat food is every scene needs multiple takes, If they ate the food, they would have to keep putting out new food. Which is expensive and time consuming. And the actors aren't going to keep eating the food all day.

Dumbledore even did that when Harry and he were going to get that first Horcrux. Maddening!

His only defense, and its a weak one, is that the purpose of the bloodletting was to weaken an intruder. Cutting in that location would definitely do that. Of course, you could find even better locations is weakening is really the goal!

Jerry keeping his door unlocked in Manhattan so Kramer could just stroll in

Well Kramer had keys to his place.

Bedroom of the average home that looks like bed chambers for royal kings.

You show up at someone house. And they are always home.

Trained soldiers, assassin, weapons expects. Throw away there firearms after running out of ammo. No trained gun people would do that. You can always get more ammo. Another gun is harder to find.

All NY apartments on TV are much bigger than the ones in real life. Except the Kramdens".

And everyone in New York can afford the biggest apartments no problem. Like in Friends. How in the world is struggling actor Joey and Coffee Shop Worker Racheal making their half of the rent in those places? Like Joey and Ross I can see because they have like real jobs, Ross is a Dino Doc and While we never really found out what Chandlers job is he wore a nice suit! How does Phoebe make the rent? All she does is sing those really bad songs! Her twin did porn so I can see her covering the bills. But like if it were real most of them would have crap hole apartments!

They did make a few references to Chandler paying most of the rent until Joey got that part on Days of Our Lives. How Monica and Rachel paid the rent when Monica was out of work and Rachel was still working in the coffee shop, I don't know. Maybe Rachel talked her father into helping her out.

I think there was something about the apartment being handed down from Monica's Grandma and was rent controlled.

To add to this. Someone shows up at their firend/family/coworker/who ever house at 4am. Knocks on the door and 2 seconds later it is answered. Who in the world is hanging out by the front door of their house at 4am. Even worse is when the person knocks on the back door and it is answered right away. Most of the time with out the person being freaked out or at all concerned that someone is knocking at their door in the middle of the damn night!

I have a little radio with a tape of the song Who can it be now by Men at Work that I play when someone is at the door. Well I do that for friends and family and it drives them nuts that I wont open the door for like a minute while I sing that song.

This reminds of me of the voice mail I used to have that would piss everyone off. I'd pretend I answered the phone and then they'd realize it was just a recording.

[gwhh]

I do believe they said that in at least one episode. About it being a rent control place from her grandmother. I've also read in several places that it is rent controlled.
