Things that only happen on TV

People don't know who's calling their mobiles

Nobody says goodbye when they've been on the phone

People never finish a drink or meal
Falling over whilst putting on trousers
Ordering 'a pint' and not being asked 'of what?'
Sniffing the clothes of a person you miss
Hugging someone whilst looking traumatised over their shoulder
Hearing something dramatic over a baby monitor

Chefs on TV

Why do they take themselves so seriously? And more to the point, why do other people go along with it instead of laughing at them?
