I understand and accept that I am a scatterbrain. I do really. But I really hate it when a random reality check question breaks my immersion in what is otherwise a good story. It's always the little details that trip me up.
Here are some things that ping my reality radar..
Why do some Authors tell you every time the characters eat/drink but never mention how many times they need a potty break? Or the ones that never mention having to eat?
Why do some Authors talk about how all the food a character orders looks/smells/tastes and everything else in the restaurant but never says anything about the bill?
Or how a character walks through a swamp but never changes clothes afterwards or checks for leaches..
What about the female character who wears high heels the entire time and never complains about her feet or has blisters?
Does anyone else have that problem? What trips you up?
