I do the same. But nobody watches me, so they're not appalled

On a tangential but entirely unrelated to the thread title point I remember with some anguish trying to get our son to take pills to avoid car sickness. Somehow he developed a real aversion to the idea, whatever stick or carrot we set before him. The inevitable result was a sudden back seat chundering while we were on the motorway with no easy means of stopping.

After a lengthy hospital stay at 3yo I managed to develop temporary terrors over having my hair washed, and swallowing tablets. Some of my earliest memories are of my poor parents attempting to coerce me to have these things done while I writhed and screamed in my attempts to escape. Makes no sense; both of these things must have happened regularly in hospital.
ursus arctos and Sporting, what if you get an inch-long plasticised capsule with rank-tasting powder inside? Maybe a little drink to follow it down afterwards, just get rid of the taste? It just seems needlessly unpleasant not to swill them down with a drink, unless you enjoy it.

The only reason for a treadmill to be introduced in a film/TV show is for someone to fall off the end of it.
The only exception is to show the villain, usually a billionaire businessman , finishing his workout and taking a call, which is always bad news about the hero interrupting his plans. This makes him yell " I want him dead,you hear me?" to anyone who may be listening in.

You can also have a treadmill in a training montage. We could make a list of the things required in a training montage, but probably don't need to. The Rocky one is the template that almost all others follow. Including parody montages.

The cliche coda to the hacker sequence above is the hacker having left something (a pen, the USB stick) next to the laptop. The main actor turns around, realises something is amiss and then looks back with the object having disappeared in the intervening fraction of a second.

The one first to sit on the bench is the first to get up and leave. Always.
