>No, you aren't, nor are you the only one to give inappropriate weight to common tropes of some genre of fiction

I'm not the one giving it weight as I don't adhere to the rule in question. However, like I said elsewhere, if you aren't aware that occasionally life imitates art and art imitates life, and some people actually try to idiotically mimic the romcoms they watch, well you haven't been out much these days I guess.

Not to mention the person they were replying to literally had this happen to them.
