I'm skeptical these qualify as tropes in the way the word 'trope' is typically used. It's like if we called starting the title of the movie with the word 'the' a trope.

>1. When someone says "Look," every fucking time they're about to sit down someone else to tell them how they feel. I recently saw this on The Boys, which is a nice show but this really bothered me, especially when I saw a kid do it. Have you ever talked to a kid?? Kids don't talk like that!!!

A lot of people start conversations with 'look, ...'. Just because you don't and your friends and family don't doesn't mean it's not authentic human dialogue.

>2. When the bathroom is ALWAYS down the hall and to the left. Are you fucking kidding me? Do you really even need to ask where the bathroom is? Most of the time we're in a tiny little house. Just open some doors and you'll find it. Do we really need to write that in the script??

A lot of people find it rude to go snooping and opening random doors in someone else's house.

Honestly, even if we were to consider these tropes, seems a little weird to be bothered enough about them to write a post.

1. Being edgy and witty under pressure. Like there's a life or death situation and characters are exchanging wisdom while killing left and right

2. The really hurt character all cut and maimed being told he needs to heal and rest that thrashes the doctor /healer advice and proceeds to run back fighting like nothing happened

Yeah I’ve never been in someone’s house and decided to open all of the doors in their house to search for the bathroom rather than just ask

>When the bathroom is ALWAYS down the hall and to the left.

Coming to think of it, if someone asked me where the bathroom is in my apartment, I don't think I could verbalize how to find it. I would just say "there" pointing with my finger. I mean, I'm not talking to a robot, am I, to specify the door number lol.

Honestly, even if I were to consider this a comment, seems a little weird to be bothered enough to write one

I’m going to defend you, OP, at least on the “Look” observation. (I don’t really care what the official definition of “trope” is, I get what’s you’re trying to say here). I get so annoyed at that I’ve thought about making it a drinking game. NO ONE ACTUALLY TALKS LIKE THAT!!

If people do talk like that it's because of a movie they saw lol. It's super corny. I especially didn't like the kid doing it because kids definitely don't fucking say that. When the writing is so bad that they don't even shake up the writing style for different characters.... ugh!!!

You can feel grateful for having these problems:)

Look... I know you don't like my vocabulary choice. And I know you like it when you know EXACTLY where the bathroom is. But I just... I don't - I don't know.... okay? I just don't know. Look... can I tell you something?

Look, just because you don’t talk like that doesn’t mean others don’t. Now where is your bathroom?

My bathroom is literally down the hall and to the left, so that's how I tell people. Plus even though it's not that big a house, there are 4 doors to choose from, so yes I need to specify.

if either of these non-things bother you - you may just be looking to be bothered by things

"Something something. Something else."

"Wait, what was that last thing you said?"

"Something else."

"No, the other thing."

Are you kidding? ‘White man with daddy issues struggles through them and is accepted by his father figure at the end of the story,’ isn’t at the top of the list?

i see people disagreeing in the comments, but i honestly agree with you op as someone who also has a lot of small writing pet peeves. sure they're small things, but if i'm allowed to have small, slightly petty pet peeves irl, im allowed to have small slightly petty pet peeves in movies haha

Characters overhearing exactly the wrong words for drama. It's always such a plot convenience and an annoying miscommunication trope.

The thing that absolutely boils my blood in TV shows and movies is when somebody sacrifices themselves to save a character from an oncoming wave of like zombies etc. And the saved person STOPS DEAD for like 5 minutes to watch the person being ripped apart instead of running.

I'm always screaming at the screen "fucking run, you stupid idiot!"

I recently watched 'All of us are dead' and spoilers when the girls father sacrifices himself at the tennis court she just stands there and watches. He sacrificed himself for NOTHING!!

It's so ridiculous

1. I know a kid who says look
2. my bathroom is down the hall to the right.
