It seems to be okay in to go into a cafe and place your order and then when someone comes in to tell you about something happening elsewhere just leave to attend to it without having to a) cancel the order or b) pay when they come to your table with the order and just look a bit confused as you run out.*
*Unless it's Ian Beale in which case you have to pay later.
When someone they wronged or are secretly in love with leaves the house, the person will fall back on the front door, lean against it and sigh.
Every single TV show does this! Does anybody ever do that in real life?
If a person on the telly is in hospital and has a cardiac monitor attached - you always hear the bleep noises
Medical things are always ridiculous. When people on monitors have a cardiac arrest the line goes straight from normal sinus rhythm to a completely flat line. In the real world that's not a heart attack, that's the leads being disconnected
Also people pull out their IV drip lines and there's not a drop of blood. IV drips are intravenous - they go in a vein. If they're pulled out you bleed. A lot.
Computers, especially laptops, always instantly turn on. My PC takes 3 minutes to boot up.
When you blow up a photo on a computer the resolution gets better the more you zoom in.
People never lock their car doors.
People in shops never have to queue. They always take their stuff straight to the cashier. And they always have the right change to pay for their stuff.
People throwing away perfectly good 'Zippo' lighters when they want to start a fire or burn something down. Why?
Because they stay lit when you chuck them unlike gas lighters which go out as soon as you take your finger off them. And matches are unreliable because they often go out at the slightest movement of air
Whenever, in a soap, somebody is supposedly playing on an Xbox 360 or PS3, in the rare event we see what they're playing it looks like a game from the 90's that belonged on the old SNES console.

Then you light a rolled newspaper rather than throwing a £20 Zippo away.
Having monsters living your basement and trying to teach them the finer points of life.
Having an inept genii living with you and making errant wishes that never work out (my genii never makes those kind of mistakes )
A family of orphans being raised by rather puerile aliens.
Having a neighbour who fights aliens and saves the Earth every week, with the help of three plucky teens, right under the noses of their, apparently blissfully, ignorant parents.
Having to wait a week to find out if the stranger you just met, but are going to marry next month will survive the life saving operation they going to have now.
Your local hospital gets blown up every five years as a cheap excuse to do some re-modelling.
Your best friend changes their face three times in five years and you apparently don't notice.
The apparent bending of time; a day could last a few minutes, or an hour could last a week.
The Met have three old codgers in a basement solving old crimes.
Carrying a hot stew (just made) as in yesterdays Corrie, with bare hands?
Do you mean when Sally took over that stew to Tyrone? She wasn't carrying it in her bare hands she was holding it with a dishcloth
But I know what you mean, on a similar note when people take out something hot from the oven with their bare hands and go "Ooh, aah" and then slam it down on the kitchen top because it's really hot. Well duh
Also when they have burnt something in the oven and there is smoke everywhere, they stand there swinging a dish cloth around above their head to get rid of the smoke. They never open a window or the back door like most people.

There's never a smoke alarm is there? Ours doubles as a dinner gong.

In real life these are turned off as they are far too annoying, distracting and make patients anxious.
that one has driven me mad for years

All day cooked brekkie...Cooked yesterday??
Tea and Coffee brews `just made` hardley ever any liquid in the mugs.

People light a cigarette, take one or two puffs and put it out.
You can open any locked door by fiddling about for 5 seconds with a couple of flimsy lock picks.

'Cos it just looks damn cool - eg "The usual suspects" where Keyser Soze torches the boat.:cool:
Wouldn't be quite the same with a scrunched up copy of The Daily Mail and a box of Swan Vesta would it;)
Usually off the roof of a high building
Edit: Beaten as early as post 2. Although rather less tastefully

Somebody gets shot and they get THROWN backwards, often through a plate glass window.
