Here Are 29 Examples Of "Movie Magic" That Grind My Gears

    THIS ISN'T HOW LIFE WORKS!

    We all love movies! ~However~, we can all agree that there are things that happen in movies that are unrealistic AF.

    Well, recently, Reddit user CodeBrode asked, "What are some examples of 'Movie Logic' that don't work in real life?" and these responses will give the you validation that you NEED!

    Here are a few of the biggest lies movies have told us:

    1. This "cover me" lie:

    "People who work in retail or as a waiter/waitress just saying 'cover me' to their co-worker and leaving in the middle of a shift to go take care of a personal matter, catch a murderer, etc. You can't just tell a waitress to cover twice as many tables like that. It won't work. And you won't work either, 'cause you'll get fired."
