Fanfic pet peeve

[twasadark]

Okay, I'm reading yet ANOTHER fanfic where Sam and Dean are driving around in the Impala with no destination in mind.  They're just driving.  Um ... with gas at $3.50 a gallon and the frickin' Impala, (which probably gets 2 miles per gallon) I don't think it's realistic for them to just drive around aimlessly.

Cause, you know, I demand realism in my shows about demon-hunting hottie brothers. 

LOL.

With all the fanfic I read, I probably should have a whole list of pet peeves, but the only other one I can think of right now is anything that's poorly written.  Like on ff.net.  Which, to be fair, is really only about 95% of the fics.

So.  That's that.

I'm a year older than Sam, so I remember the technology of my childhood pretty well. My mother was an early adopter of one of the old school, giant ass car phones and by the time I was in high school (96-00) both of my parents had cells (still giant and clunky). However, they were still a pretty rare thing, there weren't a whole lot of towers around, and you can bet no kids my age had their own phone.

I'm a year older than Sam, too. Well, make that LOTS of years - lol!! I was watching Lethal Weapon the other day and Mel Gibson was talking on a cell phone ... the thing looked about a foot long and like it weighed 20 pounds. It's funny how quickly things change!
