2018 was all about diversity in the movies, film industries tried their best to include different ethnicities, races, body types, and sexual orientations. So for the first time, more people found themselves being a protagonist of a captivating Hollywood movie than ever before. But even though that sounds like a huge step towards an inclusive and diverse movie industry, there is still a long way to go. Nowadays, movies are filled with hilarious clichés that just don't make any sense, and there is no chance any of them would work in the real world, especially when it comes to professions. Imagine being a freelance photographer in New York, living in a huge apartment with a walk-in closet and going for dinner every single evening. If that was the case, you know that every employee at Bored Panda would be a New York resident by now. One Twitter user got so sick of these stupid clichés he Tweeted one and it quickly became a viral thread, scroll down to see if there's one about your profession!

This one is way too common. They even had one of the muses in Disney's Hercules basically be that cliche.

The husband also tends to act like an overgrown child and is not very smart, but his wife puts up with him and loves him nonetheless.

I place my back against the door despite the fact the person I'm running from is carrying an axe...which conveniently misses my head when slammed through the door. Thanks for not aiming where I should logically be!

I would love to see a new take on this where the reporter just looks through the villains social media accounts and finds something incriminating from a decade ago.

Hello, I'm a child born disabled in a movie. I exist only so that my non-disabled parents, teachers and everyone I come in contact with can learn valuable life lessons and become more kind and accepting. I have no characteristics outside my disability.

Cops or no cops bankers are not allowed to give any information to any individual or entity without written consent from the account owner. For cops or any other entity to get any kind of information on an account that they are not the owner of will need a subpoena form the court. Which needs to be sent to banks main office where it will go thru banks legal department and information will be shared via mail back to requesting agency. All this will never happen over in a branch. If this happens in a branch and it comes to light not only banks can get fined and/or lose its banking license but individual providing such information can face fines and/or prison time. Just saying.

The one that gets me is how little time people on TV are given to answer a door before the visiting person, often the police, rings the doorbell again or assumes someone is out. I'm barely out of my chair and they'd be gone or have bashed my door down.

Hello! I am a high school principal in a movie. I am a dull, boring killjoy who regularly abuses his/her students, humilliates newcomers or condones bullying without any repercusion -but somehow very concerned about school boards approval- and an enemy of any innovation or inspiration from students or staff. There is always the new teacher who questions my authority.
