 Here are some of those situations: #1DM: You're carrying too much stuff, you better buy a mule for that. P: I see, but I have many things already, how much does the mule weights? Result: still hurts when I remember that. #2 DM: Okay, you enter the tavern, now what're you going to do? P: I ask the bartender for a diet coke. Result: Closed my book and left.

Player, who was bored because it had been a few minutes (real time) since we had combat, and the other players were talking to an NPC: I want to use my breath weapon.
DM: You shouldn't do that in this room because of all the flammable vapors, remember?
Player: I don't care; I have fire resistance.
DM: No one else has fire resistance. You're really sure you'll catch the whole room on fire if you try it.
Player: I'll stand close to the wall where there's no vapor.
DM: It's gas. It fills the room.
Player: I do it anyway.
Result: Everyone except the Dragonborn takes fire damage, and the NPC they just rescued gets killed by it.

I had a group of players once who were playing a campaign starting adventure. The premise was that a city they were in got attacked by highly trained and highly disciplined orcs, which was unusual. They also bore the red hand banner and so on. Anyway I kept pushing that they were a highly disciplined military force that seemed to have some kind of evil force driving them. They didn't seem to be behaving like orcs would, no plundering, no random killing, etc.. Just go into the city, grab what they were sent for and leave the way they came. So the PC's go their main base and knock on the front door...

JTheta,
omg. I got that a lot, players trying their best to get themselves killed or the mission ruined. Mainly cuz' of that "I don't care" policy they just love to follow.
Noctaem,
that's just sad. It frustates the DM. We try to create a nice plot and scenario for them to explore and they're just so blind.

Level 2 rogue tried to pickpocket the level 16 NPC paladin they were traveling with. ...no joke.
Later on towards the end of that same session, the two PCs drag cursed gold all the way back to town (Despite the fact it was heavily damaging their ability scores and probably couldn't have carried it anyway) and tried to get the curse removed. The temple tells them that the only cleric that can do it is currently out of town and will be back in a few weeks. ...what do they do? Curse the temple by putting some in the donation box. Curse the beggars on the street by throwing it out on the streets and watching them fight over it. Then curse the town by throwing some in the town fountain. -.-
They were run out of town that night by guards and a mob with pitchforks and torches.

...I've got a hundred of them where that came from.
Ever seen players kill a sailor that literally saved their lives by getting them off a deserted island in the ocean? And why do they do this? To get the remaining 2 XP they need for level up. -.-
Nevermind the fact they could have just used him as a follower to carry their crap. *facepalm*

The player's Aasimar paladin is called on the floor by the high priest of his church - the church of the courageous warrior of righteous battle. The high priest is like King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Thor and the Pope all rolled into one.
High Priest: You made sacred vows that you were willing to undergo the most dangerous of quests and you would set the example of courage necessary to face the demons and devils who have taken over our sacred city. These things you promised and thus I have used my authority to grant you church resources - the holy waters and the prayer beads, the holy artifacts and other weapons that were given because of your sacred promises to destroy these evils, even if it should mean your life. Promises made in this very spot beneath the Warrior's Stern Gaze. And yet... your party has come to me and each has related tales of being abandoned in combat so you could loot treasure or left to face these fiends alone as you fled to safety with the holy weapons that might aid in victory. I must ask that you return the warrior's blade to the altar so that it may be given to a warrior who better exemplifies the Righteous Warrior until you repent of breaking that sacred vow and again prove that you have the courage of your conviction. Please hand over the sword until you have read these scrolls which recalls what a Paladin of the Courageous Order of the Ruby Lions stands for.
Player: I'm an aasimar. I came from the heavenly realms. I don't have to listen to you. If you want it... come claim it.
High Priest: I'm the High Priest-Avatar of the war god who sent you. The Red One sent you at my request because of the mound of my enemies weapons that I used to create the statue we are standing in the shadow of when I built this temple so that I could train warriors. If you won't listen to me, the man who took you in as an orphan and gave you your starting equipment, trained you in every skill you know and crafted the very weapons I'm wanting returned to me........ If you won't listen to me....I'll send you back!
A rogue with a bowl of slop can be a controller.
WIZARD PC: Can I substitute Celestial Roc Guano for my fireball spells?
DM: Awesome. Yes.
