beccaelizabethPeople in stories keep having a drink and then driving home. All I know about drinking and driving is the official advice is Don't and that there's no way to both have a drink and stay under the drink drive limit. But people in stories have a couple of bottles and drive home.
This bothers me.
but then it also bothers me when they put something on to cook and then go and thoroughly distract each other.
I have played Sims, I know what happens when you leave the food in the cooker and go woohoo, it involves firemen and not in a recreational context.
... I guess I have no sense of scale about risk. Especially ordinary everyday risk.
I am more likely to believe that a superhero can manage to shoot things while jumping off buildings perfectly safely than I am to believe that they're perfectly safe to leave candles all over the place and consume alcoholic beverages.
