Kissmate's pet peeves are: (1) everyone does CPR wrong on television, and (2) people just walk into houses and play pianos that haven't been tuned in years and they somehow sound fine.

My bugbears are: (1) infertility and IVF and egg harvesting (almost no one gets it right and I just about screamed at Jupiter Ascending...but I was surprised that Haunting of Hill House did ok) and (2) the authoring / publishing process moves so much slower than movies think.

Oh, and people who rattle off a complex list of instructions over the phone without checking to see whether the connection is good.

Several people have mentioned empty cups, but it's my understanding that the concern is that the actors would drink the water and then need to pee. (A lot of costumes are not easy to go to the bathroom in.)

Re: People not eating food at the dinner table, I believe the issue is a combination of actors not wanting to eat the food (pee/poop issues, allergies, diets, etc.) PLUS if it takes 30 takes to get the best shot, they're going to be full and sick after that much food.

And there would be food waste, which I imagine is why so many dinner scenes are filmed before the food arrives. So much cheaper and easier to film them drinking wine over an empty table. Also? Food photographs / films REALLY POORLY.

There's a bunch of really great YouTube videos on what they have to do to food to make it look good for commercials, and the short version is that food can either be edible or it can film pretty, but not really both.

Oh do you mean that thing (e.g. Bladerunner) where a highly pixelated lossy image can be infinitely enlarged and never ends up as two giant squares on your screen? If so, count me among the people in the audience going "AAAAUUUGH!!"
