Or the lady cop chases down some ne'er-do-well only to find that she did the deed in 3" spiked heels. Or, my personal favorite growing up, every single time there is an on-foot chase scene at night in the forest during a new moon with one or two burly bad guys with guns and a man and a 20-something girl (very well paid to act as the damsel in distress), the girl will trip and scream or whimper to give away her position. </p><p><br></p><p>My general response nowadays is to yell epithets that you can't print on this site and go upstairs to my trusty Surface Book 3 and read the email from the spam folders. </p>
