1. Standing by the doors of stores with tripe in your hand in the hope that your randomly wandering cat within will just happen to grab something off the shelves and bring it to you will get you some very, very unwelcome attention from the management. Also, they'll probably impound your cat.

2. You do not in fact have an increased shot of running into nastier monsters if you go down stairs.

3. People cannot teleport or dig their way into bank vaults, claim to be Croesus, and dig their way right back out with all your money because the vault guard fell for it.

4. Worshippers are not required to drag freshly killed animals into churches in the hopes that sacrificing them will make God drop interesting items on their heads.

5. Your chances of running into a randomly wandering bunch of soldier ants are in fact quite small.

6. Absolutely no worries whatsoever about triggering a polymorph trap and turning into a blue jelly, surrounded by the shredded remains of everything you were previously wearing, on your way to work.

7. You may not have any wands of magic missile, sleep, lightning, or death in your backpack, but then again, nobody else around you does either. This is a good thing, because you'll notice you're also not carrying a shield of reflection.

8. Trust me on this: the world is a safer place without air elementals.

9. No one is obligated to carry around multiple bags' worth of mysterious items on the off chance that a handily encountered Scroll of Identify will say whether any of this crap is in fact useful.

10. Tripping down the stairs will in all likelihood not result in your landing on a cockatrice corpse.

Nethack players, add your own suggestions in the comments!

I don't know--we kind of do 9, in our bags, cars, and basement....

At least usually not without its top-level domain, second-level domain, and username.

Mind flayers don't exist.

(Can we all say "mind flayers suck"? :| Pun most certainly not intended.)
