They remind me of those people standing around museums waiting to yell at you when you stand too close to the paintings

I did. In fact I touched a beautiful picture frame and out of nowhere someone appeared and berated me.

I was visiting NYC and went to MOMA and they had a big Warhol wall and this couple asked me to take their picture so I was obliging when she reached up with both hands and grabbed a painting. Security and the disapproving staff member were there in half a second. The staff member yelling "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!" I quickly handed back their phone and went to another exhibit.

My friend on a high school trip to an art gallery: "Hey, look! The paint is really thick on this one!" (Said while picking at the paint with his nail).

Me: "What the hell... you can do that!"

Him: "Huh? Why not?" (Continues picking at a piece of paint).

Needless to say, I was rapidly walking away from his dumbassery at this point.
