What is the most annoying this that Spy films/stories always get wrong about real covert operations? A lot of what I have seen is that real espionage is similar to hacking, where it actually is a lot of sitting around waiting for something to happen, only for nothing to happen.

Are their appearance requirements? I have multiple tattoos, ear piercings and weird hair. Would these means I would never get hired in these jobs (despite you know, it not having an effect on my job whatsoever).
