YKYWAI your characters are so often in danger that they don't even seem to freak out anymore. Most people would go, "Ahh! Someone's trying to kill me! Call the police!". They'd go, "Oh, someone's trying to kill me. I'll call you back later."

YKYWAI your characters can travel around the globe constantly, yet not have to worry about jet leg, plane delays, ticket prices, or damaging/loosing their passport.

...while eating lunch, if they spot danger coming, they do one of three things.

1.) Confront the danger casually, while still eating lunch with one hand.
2.) Finish lunch, then confront danger.
3.) Calmly put lunch down, take out danger easily, and resume eating lunch.

...when people keep shouting each other's names in horrified ways, often followed by "NOOOOO!".

Either that, or when you keep seeing your characters' names next to 'dashed', 'sliced', 'parried', 'fired', 'dodged', and other fight-related verbs.

When all, or most, of your character carry a weapon of some kind with them.

Or if things start blowing up when things go too smoothly.

Every one of my characters has a weapon haha!

... if your characters are routinely meeting with Royalty, but come from a humble background, and think nothing of it.

When your idea of a classy lady is one that smokes cigarettes, pounds hard liquor, swears up a storm, and can pick up an AK-47 and hose down bad guys like it ain't no thing.

That is exactly my idea of a perfect heroine. Lauren Bacall carelessly wielding a weapon.

When they only get downtime to let a plot discussion take place. (Or because someone is on the verge of death.)

When suddenly being transported to a post-apocalyptic world is all in a day's chore. :)

YKYWAI your most common job in your story is spy.

YKYWAI your second most common job in your story is having superpowers.

(Those are really true in my stories.)

Your characters never get injured unless their love interest (with whom they constantly fight and supposedly hate) is nearby to freak out.

Your characters can spend an infinite amount of time discussing plot points and performing mundane tasks without interruption, but the moment a romantic moment sets in the villains attack.

"Mundane tasks" = obtaining false IDs, cleaning and reloading weapons, reading top secret files, et cetera.

Your characters destroy every single vehicle they use, but it's never their fault and they always come from the wreckage without a scratch.

Your characters have access to dynamite and plan to make one heck of a big boom. ;)

When you think in terms of how many famous or iconic buildings/places you can blow up or use as the villain's lair.
... or both.

When your characters spend two months on the run across Europe and still have perfect teeth.

When a character is bombed and shot at with a machine gun from a low-flying aeroplane and still survives mostly intact. But if another character is shot during the same attack, the aforementioned aeroplanes are mysteriously called off so there can be a poignant death scene.

When your main charater's first reaction to a knock at the door is to grab a gun.

When your character wears a dress that leaves nothing to the imgination, but somehow manages to hide a gun or various other weapons on her person.

When a teenage girl with a knife (even with training) can outfight a fully grown man who's fully trained in multiple kinds of combat and has a gun.

No matter how many times a person get's shot or stabbed or beaten bloody, they do not scar.
