Mis-communications that are so stupid and, if fixed, would leave out a lot of pointless angst and bullshite. When anyone gets all weepy and 'vulnerable' when it's just so there can be h/c and it's totally out of character.

Sick/hurt characters either being a)of course i don't need to see a doctor!! (duct tapes guts back inside) or b) reeeeeeeally whiney and stupid. Or when a character has a high fever and nobody even considers giving them Tylenol or anything.

Little kids in every fic calling people Mr. or Miss First Name. I never did that in my life, and it sounds so stupid. Pwecious wittle kids of any kind.

Mr. or Miss first name? I've honestly never heard any kid do that before. We always were supposed to be respectful. It was Mr., Mrs., or Ms. last name. Even if they said we could use first names. I wasn't even comfortable calling adults by their first name as an adult for a while.

Miss Firstname is a regional culture thing.

I've read it in *so* many fics! "Mr. Stiles, this is my daddy!" "Miss Olivia, I made you a picture!" It's just weird. To this *day*, i have to force myself to call my parent's hospital co-worker friends by their first names. Mr. or Mrs. is *so* much more ingrained.

Where I live, Mr./Miss First name is what very polite/strict parents make their kids call other adults and make their kids' friends call them. I learned that the hard way when I was little and addressed a friend's mom for the first time, and she screamed at me for leaving out the "Miss."

(Mr./Mrs./Ms. Last Name pretty much isn't expected here for anyone except teachers.)

Interesting. We would have been yelled at for using first names for adults even with a title first. I didn't even know the first names of most of my parents friends.

Mis-communications that are so stupid and, if fixed, would leave out a lot of pointless angst and bullshite.

This trope can go heavily in either direction for me. On the one hand, I actually really love this trope probably 80% of the time, and am willing to suspend my disbelief a fair bit in order to go with it.

But every once in a while I read a fic where the miscommunication is just so stupid and there's no reason for it at all and it just feels forced and ridiculous, and I end up hating the whole fic intensely because of it.

Yeah, i can be okay with about....5% of the time. But mostly it's just over done, over the top and *totally* unbelievable. Meh.
