Hollywood portrays this often.

Genuine question for mainly the US members on here.
I see on film often men it seems never to be women going to a fridge taking out orange juice or milk, then drinking direct from the container and putting it straight back into the fridge. I find it gross and unhygienic.
Do folk over the pond really do this or is it just Hollywood BS.

At least, not when she's been in the fridge.

If I'm late back from shooting I often get the cold shoulder and a fairly frosty reception, does that count?

At least in my experience of living in the US it is not uncommon, at least amongst singles living alone. Not so much with families though.

I would also say a lot of Americans view European washing habits as similarly gross and unhygenic, with showers and baths sometimes taken just once or twice a week (or when its someone's Birthday).

That's frigid.

I see on film often

There's your answer. On film. As it saves time. The same as "The Sweeney" always managed to find a parking space right outside the suspect's house. Or that when someone telephones someone in a film they always answer after two rings. And that when people, on film, get it their car and drive off they must leave it unlocked? As they never seem to get their keys out to unlock it. Either by putting a key in the car door lock or by using a fob. There's your answer. On film. As it saves time.

Thanks, makes sense.

In summer yes but in winter really as often as twice a week na not having that.

No, you just turn them inside out.
