I hate it when one of the characters does something that's obviously stupid or out of character so the badguy can kill/kidnap/rob someone or get the drop on the hero. That's just plain lazy writing.

Kindle Unlimited is full of some obscure gems to be found among the turds. I use it for a light weekend read sometimes. In one unexceptional book, a minor character’s backstory was she had been abused and took up self defense and firearms training. Commendable, but I don’t think the author had done either one himself; this was confirmed when the character is badgered into Joining The Cause and shows up with an Uzi with a “four hundred round clip”.
The one that sticks with me is Speed, where at the beginning of the movie Jeff Daniels and Keanu Reeves are best buddies, like Crocket and Tubbs. Keanu was by himself on the movie poster, so you know sure as shit Daniel is dead meat before the first frame but could they do a better job of killing him off? The crazy maniac has wired up a bus so it will explode if it slows down, he has remote cameras rigged up so he can watch what is going on inside the bus, lets go to his last known address and crawl in a window...
