Hollywood Geography: In "The Future Job", they say a guy drove ten hours from Michigan to Boston. If he drove from Detroit to Boston, that drive is only ten hours if he takes no breaks (not even for the bathroom), drives above the speed limit, and takes a shortcut through Canada. Standard driving, with breaks, would take around 12 hours. (Google Maps puts it at just shy of eleven, with the shortcut through Canada.)
First of all, that's not what Hollywood Geography is (nothing is being stereotyped or exaggerated) so if it was anything it would be Writers Have No Sense of Scale. But this doesn't even count as that, as it's perfectly believable that he did drive without breaks and speed, or alternately, that they simply rounded the number of hours down to ten. Either way, it's far too close to the realm of believably to count for anything.
