Someone in Yo Valley set up the first pitches of After six, after seven, nutcracker regular and 5.9 start for a group of kids. I came back later and they were gone, perhaps issues with illegal guiding or....? I was around for about 20 minutes before bailing to knob hill, none of the supervising adults made eye contact with the multitude of bummed climbers that would stroll up every 5 or so minutes to do one of these routes.

Bring a boombox to the crag and proceed to blast your music.

Hmmm. Been on the receiving end of the first and guilty of the second.
But, but... Your Honor, I plead extenuating circumstances on the second. See, Your Honor, I was planning to be a good belayer, but he made me smoke that third pipe-load, and it was him that opened second bottle of wine the night before. And Hell, I did tell him that we oughta rethink the whole wall in light of my inability to stay awake, what with hip belays being less reliable than gri-gri belays and all, in the event of narcolepsy, you know.

Tie up a popular rap station by putting a prussik knot above your belay device and locking it up nice and tight. Then not having the skills to free yourself from said mess so someone else has to go get you.
Edited to add- Or cut yourself free from the prussik knot without securing the rap line below the belay device first so you then go zipping down the rap line which results in injuries requiring a rescue. True story.

To start screaming "we're all gonna die!" when things get interesting. Was on an Alaska trip once with a guy who would do that. He was serious. We almost scrunded him before the end.

walk up to the base of a crag alone, ask to climb with a party of three, and then proceed to talk about random sh#t in a very loud voice while people are leading, even after being told three__ times to be quiet.

intrude upon a route already started by setting up a photo shoot at the belay? (by climbing around the easy way and faking it?)
Oh wait, this was an ICE CLIMB. Leader ended up with frostbit toes because he had to wait for them to get their shots. Which included many of him doing a fine job of REALLY leading. Not one word from the photographer.
Oh why oh why does money make people azzhats?
Absolutely the worse case of bad judgment from a guide I have ever seen.
