Pet Peeve

What is it about people who make movies that makes them think the following scenario is in any way realistic?

Not-so-bright-Guy wants a grilled cheese sandwich. He can't figure out how to cook said sandwich so he falls back on a tool he is more comfortable with - the IRON.

Um. Yeah. A guy who can't use the stove will automatically think of heating up his bread with that semi-triangular shaped item he probably can't name, much less use. Bleh.
