    Why don't any TV characters say bye before hanging up the phone? Just noticed this.

    Along the same lines, how do people on the other end of the line answer questions so quickly?

    "Hey, where are you guys right now?"

    1 second passes...

    "Ok, we'll meet you there"

    No way you can answer that question that quickly!!! TV CAN'T BE REAL!

    For the same reason people don't wait for their change when they buy something on TV or in a movie.

    It's fake.

    its cause when you dial a number with the 555 in it you are automatically going to think of a cooler way to end the conversation

    They also never close the door and lock them especially movies that deal with bad guys chasing them.

    I never understood that ethier, whenever I get chinese food, I like to mix it, and put all the different things on one plate. Why would anyone just eat from the carton? Do they really think we're that stupid that we wouldn't figure out what they're eating? Then again, what does it even matter whether they're having chinese food or not.

    my theory is that most of the time, you'll see noodles from those paper cartons, i suspect that it's just cheap boiled ramen then drained
