there’s a scene in “Silo” where a character needs to repair a massive steam-powered turbine that is off-balance, scraping at the housing, and heading towards collapse. all fine and we’ll, it’s sci-fi, so whatever, they can make magic quick fixes to move the plot along.
what really bugged me, for some reason, is how characters started touching the internal components immediately after it powers down - I have to wait for significantly smaller motors to cool off before handling them, especially if they’re rotating poorly with a bad bearing, and burning from friction.
You act that way because you work in a career that can dismember you if you are careless, so you’ve trained yourself in ways that almost no actor could ever capture, and certainly no screenwriter would ever consider

Or it would be boring to watch them sit around and wait for the thing to cool off
