Nope, movies aren't a depiction of life but.....
Everytime you see a hand digging in dirt, out of a hole or a Zombies hand....it's always manicured.
Everytime something needs to be hacked, the "Hacker" is typing in lightspeed and there are at least 10 different windows on the screen, with a bazillion of data.
Why doe poeple order drinks in a Bar or Restaurant, have a 2 minute chat and the leave without have a sip ?
Carry on.

There's only two things that has ever really bugged me about the Walking Dead, 1.) They make it look to easy to stab a person or a corpse through the skull. Unless maybe it is very old and decomposed. Too often you see even small women driving a blade through the forehead of zombie easily. The bone would deflect the blade, and not be stabbed through.
2.) Why did Reg, who was an architect and engineer put those dang wall braces on the OUTSIDE of Alexandria's walls, and not on the INSIDE!?!?!? He would have have known better. Even with the braces on the inside of the wall, the massive herd could have still broken through.
The other thing you always see in movies and on TV shows is that when anyone starts a fire or sets off an explosion, they use a Zippo. And it is always brand spanking NEW! The chimney is always bright shiny clean. And they just throw it away. That's good product placement advertizing, I loathe disposable butane lighters, especially cheap ones. The long fire sticks too, that are used to light grills....etc....just more plastic and gunk that ends up in land fills. I only use Zippo's to set fires of any and all kinds.

Yes wolf, they always use Zippos. Watched "The outsider" yesterday and they also used a Zippo.
Don`t remember this wall braces thing.

Don`t remember this wall braces thing. Lol, yep! They always get rid of the head rests.
Every scene you see set outside of the Alexandria Safe Zone, the steel beams supporting the walls are visible on the outside, not the inside. It made it easier for the massive super herd of walkers, from the quarry, to break through the walls. It's not something that was ever mentioned in the show, by any of the characters. It's just something I noticed about the structure at the beginning.

Whenever people type on keyboard but it's clear they aren't typing in any realistic fashion, no rhythm or backspacing

Sliding down ropes (or even worse, steel cables) with no gloves on. I see it all the time and think if they really did that, there would be no skin left on their hands.

Grave digging by killers - If you've ever dug a large hole by hand, you know it's very difficult. It's easy to spot all of the ridiculous hole digging going on in the movies. Here are a few things I notice:
Digging graves with tiny shovels
Easily digging graves in the desert (the ground is like concrete)
Easily digging graves in heavily wooded areas (chopping through the roots would take forever)
Digging huge holes with no gloves (about the same results as sliding down a rope )
(and in older movies) digging a grave with a tie on

Getting a parking spot immediately. Car chases never encounter traffic jams.

Teeth. Yes, I'm looking at YOU, Lauren Cohan.
I wasn't aware that Crest was in such plentiful supply in a zombie apocalypse.

When a person that is running away from a car runs directly in front of it and doesn’t try to turn into an alleyway, into a building, or somewhere else.

Another thing that gets me, is in tv and movies, whenever anyone forgets about something on the stove and it's burning.....the first thing they always do is throw it in the sink and turn cold water on it, even when it's not on FIRE! Anyone knows that will make a metal pan warp. And it's always a frying pan too! Anyone knows what happens when you run cold water down on smokin' hot oil, or grease! 😐

At the end of Die Hard, didn't Bruce Willis just get in the car with his ex wife and go home? After he blew up a high-rise building and killed a dozen people, the police don't have any questions for him?
