I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production. (sh.itjust.works)

Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

I hate when someone takes a deep drag off of a cigarette and then the angle cuts and they never exhale it. It happened a ton in Sons of Anarchy.

It really bothers me when something is supposed to be metal but is really obviously some sort of plastic. You usually see it with stuff like shields or chains or anything that would be heavy.

They can never seem to get the setup right when two people are tag-teaming the dishes. One person is usually just dunking the dishes in the sink while the other person spends 3 minutes drying the already perfectly dry mug. It's outrageous how often that happens.
