The best part of your nm post was the timestamp. Been there done that...

I like to go on the what really grinds my gears thread and grind people's gears.

I post about Bouwmeester in every thread.

When I buy blueberries or black berries or raspberries, etc, I go through the packages before anyone else and eat the most plump and delicious ones first, then open the next package and do the same thing.

Probably why I'm single again. . .

Crop dusting in crowded public places.
eg) Stampede grounds.

Walking around in Vatican Museum, going down a long hallway, it's hard to see the amazing art on both sides of the hallway. Some people zig zag, some people just stick to one side and not bother with the other, and then there was the woman that decided to walk right down the middle, with her video camera pointing at one side, and her face looking at the other side. It was impossible to resist getting my face right in her camera and giving a devil glare and shaking my head around for a second.
I really hoped that the woman would go home from her awesome vacation to Bella Roma, and start showing off her videos to her friends, and then my ugly mug would scare the crap out of someone.

I work in a no-cell phone zone and some guy just decided to ignore the rule, so I cranked up the volume on the music to the point where he couldn't talk. Would've been easier just to tell him to shut it off, but...

An acquaintance of my better half left his mountain bike in our garage for 3 years. Despite repeated (3) overtures for him to come and get it, he failed to do so. Ultimately the bike found it's way to the metal recycling heap at our local recycling depot/landfill. This was done unilaterally by myself without informing said acquaintance of the bike's impending doom. Funnily enough, he called a few months later wondering when he could pick his bike up. Now that was awkward!

I do the exact same thing in museums and galleries where photography is prohibited. I'll go out of my way to stand in front of someone attempting to take a photo of when they aren't supposed to. I've mentioned to them that photography is prohibited, but they usually scoff. So I park my frame in front of their camera lens.

When companies I hate (i.e. Telus), use google ad words, I click on them on purpose knowing that they just had to pay 50 cents.

Kinda off topic,

Sometimes the reason that its prohibited makes the prohibition lose some of its mystique....if that makes any sense.

I understand about flash photography disturbing animals, people working or a number of other things. When I visited the Vatican, pictures are prohibited in the Sistine Chapel. I just thought it was some sort of sanctity thing. Nope its because Nikon helped pay for the restoration and secured a copyright on photography in the Chapel.

It kinda lost a bit of its effect after that. I shouldn't have been so naive. I still followed the rules like a good little boy though.

I'm not sure what my point is, so carry on.....

When ever I'm in the office at work and see that a particular colleague I work with is not in his office, I'll flip 3 or so pages into his notebook and draw something pron-o-graphic, with the hopes of him exposing the page in front of a client.

Huh. When I was in the Hermitage Museum they allowed non-flash photography. I gather they feared constant flashes would have an effect on the art, like the sun fading pictures in a store window. If it's just a licensing thing....well that's stupid. I think I'd be an a-hole and sneak some pictures anyway.

^ My understanding is It can be for a variety of reasons. A key one is damage to the artwork but there are also economic reasons such as those above and that the museum makes a few cents off postcards and such they sell. Also the museum needs to attempt to protect the artists IP rights. Also from a crowd control perspective people taking photos can cause congestion. If you've ever been to The Louvre you've seen this by the pile of people crowded around Mona.
