38. A character runs to their car, which is always unlocked and they always have their key ready.

A man and a woman are running away from the bad guy and the woman trips and falls.

Two people are having a conversation and one of them just walks away instead of closing off the conversation in some way.

Whenever a woman discovers something disturbing like a dead body, she screams and screams like a banshee instead of just gasping or saying OMG, stepping back and calling 911 like a normal person would do.

A character (usually a woman) is trying to drive away from danger and her car doesn't start until suddenly it does, just as the bad guy appears at the window.

Movie characters hardly ever have pets, or if they do, it's a dog who appears at the beginning and is never seen again, or else is killed off.

Nobody ever has to go to the bathroom.
