What were they thinking? Stupid things you've seen people do in photography

What are some of your funny stories that you have done or seen people do in photography?

My favorite was in B/W photography class back in college. A box of photo paper was about $120 a box for 50 sheets. Two girls in my class decided to split the cost of a box, so after one of the girls picked up the box, they took out the paper in the class room (not darkroom) and counted out 25 pages each.

That's a good one AT!

Trying to photograph fireworks with flash is a fave of mine - but yours is funnier.

I don't know if I have any specific stories but it always amazes me the number of times people will use their camera phone or point and shoot in a 10,000 seat stadium and try to take pictures with the popup or LED flash. :) A bit like Marko's story actually.
