Cups, too. Coffee mugs or other opaque containers will sometimes be used to gesticulate, and you can just tell from the way they move it that there's obviously nothing in it. They can't get away with it when the glass is clear, but if it's an opaque cup, more often than not it's completely empty and the lack of weight to it gives it away.
This is the one I notice the most. That and uneaten food.
Here's a fun one tho. In the shows Inspector Morse and to a lesser extent (Inspector) Lewis, actor Kevin Whately is constantly stuffing his face with food. Like, i don't know if they pumped his stomach between takes or if everything was just shot twice and moved on, but goddamn that man could eat
Lmao yes, they get up from the table and the meal is completely untouched.
This annoys me to an unreasonable degree. We're watching Shameless (US) and they are constantly gesticulating with empty coffee cups and I get mad every time.
