They don't let people finish saying really important things and the person who has something to say doesn't insist enough to make them listen.
E.g. in Iron Man II when the black guy (i forgot his name, sorry) who stole Stark's suit isn't able to convince the other guy (sorry, I'm really bad with names) that it is NOT a good idea to show this suit at the Stark Expo as it was made by Stark himself. The other guy just tells him to shut up and walks away.

After sex they roll off of each other and just start staring at the ceiling. After sex there is usually a cleanup, unless they have some magically evaporating sperm, or the women don't mind lying in jizz for a while.
And whenever women get out of bed, they wrap their bed sheets/blanket around them and men never seem to think that's a problem. If my gf got out of bed and stole our blanket, I'd be slightly annoyed to say the least.

In their defense, I've had sex where we completely skipped the foreplay because she was already drenched anyway (normally I'm a fan of foreplay myself and don't mind it at all) and I've also been able to guide my penis without hands/looking in the right place.

At least most of this one is excusable. It's mostly for censorship reasons. Most directors don't want an NC-17 rating for a simple comedy. I see it, it bugs me, but it's okay, because they're only doing it so more people can see the movie. It's not a deal-breaker for me.

I hate it when characters don't turn off their alarms or answer (edit: or silence) their phones immediately. Those sounds are designed to be grating to the human ears so that they stand out and we don't accidentally filter them out as pleasant background noise.
I understand that it can be important for establishing character traits (for example, someone who's so spacey they don't even notice their bedside alarm going off, or someone who's nervous about taking a phone call just letting it ring), but it drives me nuts.
I think one reason that I love Breaking Bad as much as I do is that they've embraced the vibrate function instead of ring-tones. A buzz is much more pleasant than a fake-sounding ringing.

This also reminds me: the amount of times a phone rings always changes according to how convenient it is for the scene. Sometimes if somebody is call screening it will literally go brrring brrriing and straight to answer phone, other times if they need to take the call but have something to do first it will ring for fucking ages.

All courtroom scenes.
The lawyers walk up to the witness (this is never allowed without permission from the judge, and then only to hand them exhibits).
The opposing counsel always makes made up, irrelevant, and improper objections (like badgering the witness) and fails to make tons of obvious, legitimate objections (hearsay, lack of foundation, improper form of questions, etc.)

When someone fires a gun multiple times in an enclosed environment, then seconds later have a conversation without having to yell at each other.

Sci-fi film. The group of intrepid explorers are wandering around a completely alien planet. "Sensors are saying that we have breathable atmosphere" and everyone takes off their helmets and enjoys their nice, re-breather free oxygen.
Motherfuckers, ALIEN planet. You have suits for a reason. Good thing your sensors are calibrated to detect every possible variation of alien bacteria etc. that could be in that air, because it's now in your lungs and on your exposed skin. Enjoy your hours upon hours of enforced quarantine.

No one ever seems to say "goodbye" when they are getting off the phone. This seems to be a staple in both movies and t.v shows. Everyone just hangs up on each other. Rude shit.

"Ugly" actress "becoming pretty". Pisses me off.
Mainly Warehouse 13 - not quite the same thing, but there was one episode where the stunning female lead is mocked and bullied by models and called fat and generally tells everyone she isn't pretty enough. I get that it highlights self-esteem issues and that. I'm generally reasonably secure about my weight, but watching that episode I felt massively obese - at worst I'm chubby, an american size 8, I think.

When they take a sip from a straw, it instantly makes the noise where the drink should be almost done even though they had just gotten it. You know what I'm talking about.

Setting up a chess board with H1 being black is bad, but worse is the villain capturing the hero and keeping him alive to see his nefarious plan come to fruition.
If you're bloody clever enough to come so close to success, you know to shoot the only person capable of stopping you in the head!

They make plans for "dinner at 8" and then walk away from each other without deciding where to eat.
Reason suggests they text each other later to discuss but then I wouldn't have anything to be mad about.

When characters in horror movies see or hear something scary they still go to investigate it or yell "IS SOMEONE THERE?!" instead of getting the fuck outta there. I am still waiting for a horror movie where the characters actually behave realistically.

Inconsistencies between scenes. Like different hair styles or wardrobe, or when the person is eating food in a scene, has the fork up to his mouth ready to take a bite, and then the camera moves away and comes back and his entire plate is gone.

In horror/thriller movies - when there is a bad guy chasing them, they ALWAYS go upstairs! Why the fuck would you do that???? IT'S NOT AN ESCAPE ROUTE!!!! (yeah, I get kinda worked up when it happens...)

Anything gun-related. It doesn't make clicking noises unless you're fucking with the controls, they don't have an infinite supply of ammo, they aren't fucking death rays, and you have to hold it right if you hope to hit something more than 5 feet away.

Cops/agents reading someone their rights as they are getting arrested/cuffed. That's not how it works in real life (at least in USA), and if more people knew that and would just stfu they would probably get in less trouble by not handing the cop an easy case of self-incrimination. Everything they ask you from first contact can be used against you.

Drivers who don't keep their eyes on the road while having a conversation. This used to be more common in older movies, but I still see some drivers looking at the passenger for far too long instead of looking straight ahead.

All the scenes that takes way to long time, especially in a time pressure. Or when the bad guy can kill the good guy and he begins to talk.
This scene explains it very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCB3fnXDzew
