No Self-Awareness
I had a boss who had no idea of his body odour problem, and everybody was too tactful to break it to him. Not so a visiting Rev Ian Paisley: "What the blazes is that smell? Is it you?" That sorted it. Stories of people blissfully unaware of their bad smells, bad manners and foghorn voices.

Since everyone else is doing it.
I used to be a mountain guide. In the Rockies. As any guide who has been to the Rockies knows that's where many American Eagles like to make their homes. Some make their nests in trees which we would call ground nests and some like to build their nests in aeries high up on top of natural pillars and crags which we would call air nests.
One of my jobs was to take various celebs climbing. We had a few golden rules - many of the birds that nested lower down would be ok with people looking into the nest and even interacting with the eggs and chicks. The birds that nested higher up understandably weren't as accommodating and would often attack if provoked.
One day I had the (mis)fortune to take a famous black gentleman and his very attractive wife with boobs (EDITED for bad advice) on a tour. This was before their recent breakup. I can't remember her name but he was the bloke that sang "Kiss from A Rose". I explained to them both about how the birds with higher perches did not like anyone messing with their eggs or chicks.
We spent the morning looking at nests near the ground and eventually we climbed a stack to look at a perch higher up. As we approached the nest from below the woman reached up to try and grasp one of the eggs.
I cried out -
"No, Seal's wife - air nest!"
