Fake panic, real awkwardness. The door slams are either Oscar-worthy or hilariously bad-no in-between.
Because nothing's hotter than potential legal consequences. The "caught" person is always either wildly overacting or weirdly chill about being discovered. Like, full existential crisis or just shrugs and joins in? No in-between. Bonus points for terrible hiding spots – behind a curtain that doesn't reach the floor, under a glass coffee table, etc.
