The thing that really bugs me is the way people hang laundry on the clothesline. They just kind of wad it up and throw it over the line and poke a clothespin on it any old way. I can't help but focus on that and the actor who is doing it loses all credibility for me. Makes me want to stop watching.

Another one of my peeves used to be the way characters used an axe, obviously ignorant and inexperienced in every phase of felling, chopping, splitting etc. Not many shows with axe work (except horror movies) anymore so I can relax on that one.[/quote]

Yes, this bothers me too. Used to have to split wood for the kitchen stove, and learned darned early in life that having a sharp piece of heavy metal scrape your skull might not have good results!!! You learn early or you don't have a later. Makes me nervous watching someone in camping shows holding a piece of wood and splitting it with a hatchet!!!
