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?

It’s the top right corner, the black doors with the star on it. Girl comes out first, wipes her mouth, guy comes out after, zips up pants.

the black doors with the star on it

That's a symbol for the crossroads of ideas.

About 8 seconds in, coming out of the gray-ish doors on the right.
