One that drives me crazy is the kind of dramatic repetition that absolutely no one uses in real life but which is ubiquitous in the epilogues of TV shows and movies. Some examples:
- Bob asks Joe if he'll come back one day and Joe responds with, "Maybe I will, Bob. Maybe I will."
- Or Bob reassures Joe by putting a hand on his shoulder and saying, "I'll be here, Joe. I'll be here."
