Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

    When I was 16 I swerved to miss a recliner in the roadway (yeah you read that right) and ended up careening off the road down an embankment. As soon as I was stopped at the bottom, I was convinced I had to clear the area because obviously the car was about to explode. It did not. So anyway that was my first and worst car accident. Why there was a recliner in the roadway is a mystery I will never solve.

      there is a large overlap in the Venn diagram of people who wouldn’t notice if an entire ass recliner fell out of their pickup truck and people who fail to properly secure cargo in their pickup truck

        True true… but it was situated like, fully reclined. One idea was that knuckleheads placed it there as a prank, bro. But the other, probably more reasonable, is your idea.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if it flopped open like a book upon hitting the pavement

          I also wouldn’t be surprised if knuckleheads placed it there like that
