Thought of another one that's caught my notice lately.

Having all the characters know everything the audience knows about the show/book. Even if you're writing from the point of view of a character who really has no reason to have known or cared that X happened in canon.

It's not a massive irritation, but it lends a certain numbing inevitability to things. Like, a minor character/plot point is mentioned and you know that no matter what character you're with right now, we're about to namecheck S02E04 or whatever.

Similarly, every character shares the show/implied viewer's moral compass. If A cheated on B, every character hates A for being a cheater. Even if the POV character in question is C, who doesn't particularly like B and has never had any opinion on hir personal life.

(In fairness, this is something that happens a lot in pro-writing too. And is possibly also about pre-empting "helpful" corrections from reviewers.)

Oh, that example about the moral compass is so annoying. : / That is NOT how real life works. :|
