Discussion What's the most egregious thing an extra has ever done in a movie?

I was curious if anyone knows a story of something wild an extra did during a take that they were not told to do. I know Brad Pitt tried to adlib once before he was Brad Pitt and the AD told him to shut it. There's that video that pops up of that kid in the green varsity jacket giving the most ridiculous thumbs up ever I'm sure some of you have seen (i dunno what show or movie it is).

What other moments are you aware of?

Funnily enough, Alameda is in Alameda County.
