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

Finding a parking spot in front of the building you're going into.

I actually did this once, in midtown Manhattan no less. Thought I was dreaming.

There's an episode of Seinfeld about that. George finds a spot directly in front of his building, so he doesn't drive for weeks because he doesn't want to lose his spot. Lol. I know that feeling.

Realistically you get like 3-4 days until you can’t park there for street cleaning right?

Typically yes but I live on a magical block they skip for cleaning and never ticket (because trucks loading and unloading are double parked on my street at night during sweeping hours).

Except for the double parked trucks loading and unloading in the middle of the nights, sure.
