to:
* HarmlessFreezing: Also usually the cartoon-style \\\"locked in a chunk of ice\\\" gag.
* HealingHerb: This implies all herbs are dangerous...? It even says that not all herbs are dangerous, and goes on to apparently argue with itself. Besides, it\\\'s mostly a video game trope and the herbs are fictional or not named.
* HollywoodDrowning: This \\\'\\\'does\\\'\\\' happen when people are swept in strong currents.
* HollywoodFire: This doesn\\\'t really explain why this is fiction trying to kill us, HollywoodFire is just \\\"fire that isn\\\'t as smoky as a real life one\\\".
* IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou: Weird complaining about health foods.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: It says right there that it\\\'s impossible - this is a cartoon trope. Yes, women do use corsets to try and get an hourglass shape, but to realistic proportions.
* IncrediblyObviousBomb: Also weird complaining. Some bombs \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' obvious, but in real life, there are countless warnings on public transport and news channels to report unattended objects.
* InstantEmergencyResponse: Weird complaining and can be just shortened to \\\"takes about 15-20 minutes for first responders\\\".
* JammedSeatbelts: Not really a fiction thing, as news reports have influenced this, and most people put on seatbelts, because state law enforces it. Also, lots of natter. Can just be shortened to \\\"Rather unlikely, and there are special tools made for quickly cutting a seatbelt\\\".
* JarPotty: When it\\\'s done in fiction, it\\\'s done for grossout humor or to show the person is a freak. Not really applicable.
* {{Mismeasurement}}: Happens in real life, too. The trope is \\\"when a character messes up a measurement and something bad happens\\\", not \\\"hey, mismeasure! it\\\'s funny!\\\"
* {{Mooning}}: It\\\'s common sense to know that normal people don\\\'t show their asses to random people.
* NoMedicationForMe: Lots of natter, and in fiction, isn\\\'t always depicted as a good thing.
* OnlyBadGuysCallTheirLawyers: Can just be shortened down to \\\"always call a lawyer, regardless of crime commited\\\".
* PoliceAreUseless: Does this really need to go on here? People believe cops are assholes or make things worse \\\'\\\'independently\\\'\\\' from fiction - low-income neighborhoods don\\\'t trust cops, anarchists and punks tend to self-police, etc.
* RacingTheTrain: We don\\\'t need a long-winded, nattery explanation for what is common sense.
* SafetyGearIsCowardly: Often paints the character who believes this as a macho idiot.
* SmokingIsCool[=/=]SmokingIsGlamorous: Weird complaining about smoking.
* StrayShotsStrikeNothing: This doesn\\\'t encourage people to go have gunfights.
* TrojanGauntlet: Again, remove for the same reasons as ButWeUsedACondom: In media, they still come away with the condom and are still taking the precaution to have some basic protection. Also, in real life, there are \\\'\\\'plenty\\\'\\\' of stories where people have had embarrassing moments while buying condoms, but that doesn\\\'t discourage them from buying more.
