It's in movies/TV all the fucking time -- the character on the laptop sitting on the couch with the laptop screen facing exactly opposite of the door. Meaning whoever "surprises" them by walking in the front door just sees the back of the laptop. They have at LEAST 5-10 seconds to close shit out before the person makes it in a spot where they can see the screen.

I wouldn't suspect a thing.

Yet, in media, the character is always seen SLAMMING shut the laptop lid and looking straight at the enterer like a deer in headlights.

Literally why?

Cause of guilt, or the worry of being caught, the character acts without thinking when someone enters the room.

In-universe reason: impulse
Real life reason: they think we as viewers are stupid and need it spelled out for us that they don't want whatever is on the screen to be seen

Ive been watching veronica mars again and she does this like every other episode when her dad walks in. Him never reacting makes me think his private detective skills aren't quite top notch.

It's Veronica Mars and he is a grownup.

He's either incompetent or evil.
