Questionable Things Sims Do.

I thought I'd make a thread on things sims have been doing that annoys/puzzles me and would like to hear about your experiences just for fun ! (sorry if someone did a thread on this already)
Something that always annoy me is the behavior of some sims when I invite them over to hangout
they ALWAYS do things like taking out the trash (excuse you, thanks but no thanks) or go for a random jog (cough cough DON LOTHARIO) and It would be against the law for me to forget their endless self-game of chess. I can never get them to leave on time when they sit down at the chess table, they will stay for hours sim days.

Vampires with withered stomaches eating even though it's going to make them sick.
And somewhat more generally, the fact that keys and locks are completely unrelated. Keys and locks are completely unrelated. What would possibly make it seem like a good idea to introduce keys and make them utterly unrelated to locks?! Why why WHY?!
Sim actually eats in dining room, but instead of putting dishes into dishwasher in kitchen goes to bathroom at back of house to wash dishes in sink.
Spoilers be below if you don't have or haven't played the Jungle Adventures pack. I would wrap them in a spoiler tag but can't yet...
One thing that happened the other day that was odd/funny. I just got the Jungle Adventures pack and used one of the totems to summon the skeleton servant. The servant cleaned up a bit and proceed to terrorize the whole family with it's "joke" (I don't get skeleton humor and neither did my sims). The when the family finally went to sleep it proceeded to eat the entire contents of the fridge (all the precooked meals). Which then fell onto the floor (because skeleton duh!) Then it would turn around complain about the mess, clean it up and proceed to do it again.
Honestly it was hilarious... but still frustrating.

Sims constantly ordering food & drink in bars/cafes. Sims playing musical chairs in community lots. Sims standing right in front of the mic when another sim is doing comedy.

At least your sim still makes the meal in the kitchen. Mine sometimes goes all the way down to the basement and through several other rooms to use the tiny counter in the family crypt rather than the much closer, much cleaner, and much bigger counter in the kitchen.
If you have Parenting, try setting the table your sims are supposed to eat at. It stopped mine from taking their plates to the other end of the world.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
You: OK don't do anything stupid, we're trying to save enough money to host a wedding
Sim: *buys most expensive drink in bar*
You: DUDE
Honestly they can't go on family outings any more without going practically bankrupt

That's funny I have my sims swipe drinks at the bars all the time. I make a fun mini game out of it. You gotta be quicker if you want a drink at the bars my sims frequent.
I also save money on drinks that way.
Another questionable thing is all the flirting at the wedding receptions. Really you were dating exclusively for a long time (for a sim). And now you decide to flirt and on your wedding day? It's a little late for cold feet isn't it? If it wasn't so funny I might get mad.

Chess by yourself isn't really that strange btw. It's a common practice to make yourself better.
No trash can? Just go ahead and dump it in the living room.
Brushing teeth while eating cereal.
Running half way across the map while on a date to play chess with a stranger.
oh no ! It's definitely not weird playing by yourself at all, its just the fact that the guest get so focused that they forget to leave so much that i end up having to reset them just so that the goodbye button is available again ! lol
Another frequent thing that happens on my game is when there are dishes around, if i tell a sim to clean a dish or click "load dishwasher" they only take care of one dirty dish and leave the rest. If i leave them alone sometimes i get lucky and they will stack and clean the dishes. In that case dragging dishes to the sink or trash is helpful but i would prefer if the sims did it right away.

THIS. I hate, hate, hate the fact that I can have a sim give a key to another sim and they can visit their apartment, but if I lock the door to household only (which I sometimes do because some neighbours can get too familiar and intrusive, when you just want some alone time) my keyholders can't access the apartment. Maybe they should add an option to the locks to allow access to "household and keyholders" and keep the remaining "access to household members only"? You know, sometimes you might not want the keyholders there either.
As for the counter problem and preparing meals on a bathroom counter or bedroom, that's one I've complained about many times around here, but I do have a way around it, sort of. I just make sure to fill all the counters with some clutter so they can't physically prepare meals there. Vases, toothbrush holders, perfume, lotion, shirts, books, towels...
Of course it isn't a perfect fix because I would like some places to remain uncluttered, but it works. I've suggested before that we should be able to designate rooms, so that they won't be able to prepare food in the rooms not assigned "kitchen"; or more simply, if there is a shower or toilet present in the room, then it automatically becomes off-limits for food preparation, unless you're a slob sim.

1. Child Sims calling my YA Sim asking if he wants to come out and play. Uh, not happening, first and foremost not appropriate and second, we've never met. o.O
2. Condolence calls from beyond the grave. Mom's a ghost, but she still calls to say she's sorry to hear your 'friend' passed away. The 'friend' was her husband, your Dad.
3. Chatting with someone on the phone and look out the window to see them knocking at your door.
4. Accidentally call a Sim after hours and get yelled at because, "I'm sleeping." Look out the window to see them walk by your house. Hmm, must be sleep walking I guess. *shrugs*
5. Sims couple sitting on a bed chatting. Things get amorous, shall we woohoo? Okay, but first let's run down three flights of stairs and go outside to confirm, do a little happy dance and....cancel the action!
6. Sim sitting on the couch eating a meal and watching TV. Okay, I'm finished eating think I'll throw the dish on the floor, stand up and walk over to the side of the couch to stand there and keep watching the show.
7. Toddler has to go potty REAL BAD, but the potty is full. Daddy or Mommy empties the potty and puts the bag in a nearby bin. Okay, cool now go help your Toddler. Nope, I need to empy every trash bin on every floor of the house first, okay? See ya in a few hours kid.
8. I don't care if we're in the middle of a very flirty conversation and you just asked me to woohoo, I need to go jogging right now!
9. Sim picks up dirty dish and heads for the dishwasher. Stops in front of it, turns around heads for the bathroom sink instead. Why? Oh Watcher the dishwasher is too scary! *shivers*
10. Watcher I want to talk to that Sim jogging by. Okay, click on the Sim they stop and watch your Sim running over. Nah, I don't want to talk to you afterall, bye! Sim turns and runs when your Sim is 10 feet away. "Wait! Wait! Come back! I love you!"
Silly Sims, I just love them though, even if they do have some annoying, inefficient habits! Happy Simming y'all!
While the call is gong on, same sim invites his sister-in-law to go the Humor and Hijinks festival, but she wants to sleep.
Then the same sim invites his younger sister over, all while still on the phone with their mom.
Sims can apparently see through walls because they'll stand staring through the stairway, apparently watching the TV on the other side instead of walking around the stairway to sit on the couch.
Just remembered another one. Young adult and teen Sims inviting children to the bar. Why? No, they are not going to the bar!
1. I will start with other Sims wanting to visit my Sim's stuff and not them. This isn't the worst of them but it came to mind first.
2. When my Sim is on a date and it seems like every Sim in Simdom now wants to come over and talk with her and just sit down and talk with her and hang out and it doesn't annoy her date and I can't get an option like "um excuse me but I am on a date why don't you go wreck someone else's game they are trying to run."
3. When my Sim is at a club, bar, lounge etc. and someone is running game on her (is being super flirty with her in a one on one conversation) and decides to hook up with someone else. Really Sims if you are into another Sim ask that Sim to hook up with you or something don't run game and run away. That isn't just a low down dirty dog move but it gives my Sim a serious complex, She bathed and everything and isn't running away thinking the other Sim (running game on her) is a darn creeper. Then I have to find one of the boys in Partyhaus for her to go on a date with just to make her feel wanted and pretty once again. Circling back to 2. Maybe I need to create someone for her but that is just too much like hard work. lol.
4. When some random person your Sim has never met before breaks into their home. I mean just walks right on in and you can't just say get the heck out of my home you rude jerk. The rude jerk of a Sim just starts going into toddler, Child or teenage Sim's room and starts going through their stuff. You can't tell the super creepy (bleep, bleep, bllleeeeeeeeeeep) that your Sim is going to call the cops and have them sent to jail. What is up with that kind of behaviour? I really wish we could have a dialogue we could use on creeper Sims.
5. Stalker Sims getting a little too yandere for my liking. "Sempai, I saw you looking in the direction of another Sim and it wasn't me. I don't like that so I am going to follow... I mean... stalk you now wherever you go. That is because I love you" I can only guess is being said.
6. When another Sim invites my Sim out for a meal and my Sim is expected to pay the bill.
