I did not take enough fresh air. I woke up too late. I did not clean
the sidewalk. I left doors unlocked. I stepped too near the cage. I
failed to keep entrances free. I failed to keep exits free. I pulled
the safety brake without good reason. I leaned bicycles against
forbidden walls. I solicited and peddled. I did not keep the streets
clean. I did not take off my shoes. I leaned out the window of a
moving train. I handled open fires in rooms that were firetraps. I
paid unannounced visits. I did not get up for invalids. I lay down in
a hotel bed with a lighted cigarette. I failed to turn off faucets. I
spent nights on park benches. I failed to lead dogs on a leash. I
failed to muzzle dogs that bit. I failed to leave umbrellas and coats
in the cloakroom. I touched goods before I bought them. I failed to
close containers immediately after use. I tossed pressurized containers
into the fire. I crossed on the red. I walked on superhighways. I
walked along the railroad bed. I failed to walk on the sidewalk. I
failed to move to the rear in streetcars. I did not hold onto the
straps. I used the toilet while the train was stopped in the station.
I did not follow personnel instructions. I started motor vehicles where
it was prohibited to do so. I failed to push buttons. I crossed the
rails in railroad stations. I failed to step back when trains were
coming in. I exceeded the load limit in elevators. I disturbed the
quiet of the night. I affixed posters to forbidden walls. I tried to
open doors by pushing when they could only be pulled open. I tried to
open doors by pulling when they could only be pushed open. I roamed the
streets after dark. I lit lights during blackouts. I did not remain
calm in accidents. I left the house during curfew. I did not stay in
my place during catastrophes. I thought of myself first. I
indiscriminately rushed out of rooms. I activated alarm signals without
authorization. I destroyed alarm signals without authorization. I
failed to use emergency exits. I pushed. I trampled. I failed to
break the window with the hammer. I blocked the way. I put up
unauthorized resistance. I did not stop when challenged.
