[Cadaverous Pallor]

Why oh why do they still put that scene in books and movies where the married/engaged/unavailable man is caught at home by his wife/future mother-in-law while a girl wearing his bathrobe walks out of his bedroom...yet of course he never slept with her and he's a victim of ridiculous circumstance? For God's sake, we've seen it. It was funny the first 3,722 times. Now it is cliche and no longer even partially interesting.

"Oh look, he actually didn't sleep with her, but it looks like he did....how will he ever explain this to his wife/mother-in-law????"

I was attempting to enjoy Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman when I came to this scene. Then I had to prevent myself from throwing the book in order to get away from it.
