in a movie, a person/character gets out of the cab, then goes up to the cabbie's window to pay him!

i've seen this happen in TV and hollywood movies way too many times, and it's a pet peeve of mine but enough for me to post about it now because i've seen two movies that happened in the same day (i watched casino royale and spiderman 3)

who the hell does this anyway, in NYC if you get out of the cab without paying you'll have hell to pay.

The most unrealistic thing you saw in either of those movies was how the guy paid the cab???

When the cab dropped us off at the rental place in Honolulu I paid the driver after I got out and I didn't have hell to pay.

Convenience

Most people keep their money in a wallet in their pants pockets. It's a lot more convenient to reach for when you are standing than sitting.

:thumbsup:

But both of you fail at spelling weird. I before E, except after C, or when pronounced "AY" as in "neighbor" or "weigh," which is why weird is such a weird word, dig?

i used to refuse to spell weird properly specifically because of that rule... now my fingers are unable to improperly type it because my mind is just too swift for my hatred.

Another thing about movies is no one says "bye" before they hang up the phone. The conversation just ends and they both know exactly when to hang up.

Another thing about movies is that unless it's been heavily researched, almost all depictions of science and technology will suffer from gigantic technical inaccuracies. Remember "Live Free or Die Hard"? Christ.
