It’s always bothered me that Ferris Bueller’s dad never really washed his hands very well or used soap after he came out of the bathroom during that scene in the restaurant.  It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and that gets me every time.  I’m sure it’s something I’d catch if I was directing that film.

And it’s not just that movie.  Jessica Jones wanders in and out of bathrooms without a pit stop at the sink time and time again in that series.  I don’t think she showered or changed her clothes for three episodes for that matter.  I still love the show but anytime hygiene is infringed, I get anxious.

There are other subtle annoyances that get me when I watch movies.  Like doors.  People love to enter houses in the movies and leave doors flapping wide open.  They walk in, say hi to someone, then wander right into the living room and forget to shut the door!  Come on!  Four hundred flies have already entered in the short time the door has been open!  They can even be in a crime ridden city.  “Hi!” then the guest walks right in and the host leaves the door open.  There are sixteen locks on the door because your area of the city is so crime-ridden but you leave it standing wide open for murderers and thieves to enter when friends stop by?

I always think it’s funny how groups of twenty two year olds seem to live in million dollar condos in swank and trendy areas of huge cities in the movies too.  Can you say trust fund baby?  Good for them if they earned it.  But, somehow I doubt that would be their starter home right out of college.  And it seems they live in these places with no visible sign of employment and unlimited free time to languish in these nicely appointed residences.  No wonder so many millenials have such a skewed vision of reality.

I love movies but I gotta say, please, close the damned door!  Get a job.  And wash your hands while you’re at it.
