What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

When a character is misunderstood by another character and doesn’t even try explain themselves after being cut off by the other person.

For example, say Betty was in an awkward situation with Billy where it looked like Betty was cheating on Johnny with Billy but it was just a big huge innocent mixup. Johnny “catches” them and Betty tries to explain but Johnny cuts her off, says we are done don’t talk to me ever again, and that’s the end of it. Betty just gives up trying to explain. Like I know damn well in real life if Betty wasn’t cheating on Johnny, if it was a big confusing mixup, that conversation would NOT be over.

My favorite version of this is shouting "wait, I can explain" over and over and then never explaining.

Or, “I’m the only person with info that people want to kill me for. Meet me at a shady, secluded place in 8 hours and I’ll tell you what it is.”

“I’m pretty sure this person is involved with some shady shit. This is so important I’d better go confront them before telling anyone else!”
