My pet peeve is when people in the stories don't react appropriately to the situation regardless if science fiction, fantasy, horror, crime, action...
A good case in point is the following story:
Quote:
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!' ".
The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?".
One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: "Holy Shit! A talking chicken!".
The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

This is an appropriate reaction to the situation!
