16 x unbelievable shit

from romcoms

They meet each other, fall ridiculously fast in love, then all hell breaks loose in square with intrigues and betrayal, and eventually they come back together and live ‘happily ever after’. You just gotta love romcoms. Give me a free evening and I'll devour them all. The only downside to these feel-good movies? The credibility often leaves something to be desired.

And that's why it's time for a list of the 16 biggest bullshit things you only see in romantic comedies:

  1. So the main characters are barely awake for a microsecond and they are immediately making out. With morning breath and all. HOPPATEE.
  2. And somehow people in romcoms can brush their teeth for three hours without having to spit it out. Can someone teach me that?
  3. The biggest disappointment? Bachelors who live in ridiculously expensive houses, right in the center. Hello Carrie Bradshaw (before your Mister Big phase) and Bridget Jones, I'm looking at you.
  4. Everyone is cheating on all sides. But seriously, Goede tijden, Slechte tijden is nothing compared to this. And in the end, everything always turns out fine.
  5. The fridge is always stocked. And if the main characters ever have to go grocery shopping, it's in one of those fancy little linen bags where three products are stuffed in. WHY DOES NO ONE EVER BUY TOILET PAPER?
  6. At the moment of that steamy scene, you never hear the woman say: ‘Sorry, I'm so on my period. Can we wait a bit?’
  7. I think women in romcom movies also have a particularly sensitive vagina. Coming in two minutes and then four more times? No problemo!
  8. Those same women also have two choices when it comes to work. Either they write, or they work in fashion. Sounds pretty fun actually.
  9. Those same women wake up beautiful every morning. With makeup and hair in curls. #WhyAmINotLivingInARomcom?
  10. Successfully holding up a plane to declare your love to your fling last minute is also very normal in women's films. Security? Customs issues? What do you mean?
  11. So that chick decides to leave the city RIGHT at the moment he realizes she is the one.
  12. Which means he has to execute point 10 again.
  13. Ever seen chipped nail polish in a romcom? No, right?
  14. The chance that the wedding gets called off last minute (including dramatic running away and throwing flowers) is about 85 percent.
  15. The chance that there is a ‘gay best friend’ playing a vague supporting role with some hilarious one-liners is about 110 percent.
  16. It's really very coincidental, but always exactly at the moment when a kiss is about to happen, a hurricane of a downpour suddenly breaks loose. And those damn geese always come from somewhere (okay, that was actually pretty cool. You know what? I'm done complaining.). The Notebook So, what are we going to watch tonight? Friends with Benefits? Maid in Manhattan? How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days? The Proposal? 10 Things I Hate About You? No? Anyone? Joe?.
