According to the article: \\\"Lampshade Hanging (or, more informally, \\\"Lampshading\\\") is the writers\\\' trick of dealing with any element of the story that threatens the audience\\\'s Willing Suspension of Disbelief, whether a very implausible plot development, or a particularly blatant use of a trope, by calling attention to it and simply moving on.\\\"

The Real Life page is not a story. It is a list of examples taken from real life. As such it is not calling out anything improbable that would threaten the reader\\\'s willing suspension of disbelief.

I will delete the example of TV Tropes unless I am persuaded otherwise.
