The GM announces that, 'we will be taking breaks every 20 minutes or so to hear a word from our sponsors'.
I mean, did you really believe that there was a corner of life that the epitome of pure evil could not reach? Bwhahahahaha!

Pass check at start of a scenario, explain to the party why they shouldn't attack the caryatid pillars in front of them. Further explain that on your turn, you can neutralize them (and will indeed act before the creatures). ...... Observe as the hunter goes up and breaks his weapon on a caryatid pillar. Observe further as said hunter proceeds to stop right on the edge of your created pit, almost falling in the pit with the group of caryatid pillars you trapped inside it.

You find out you are running a scenario set in a brothel, and half you table is female and 13 or younger... and the other half is parents...
wow... I'm running this on Sunday and have to come up with a way to describe "the House of the Silken Veil" in a way that passes over the heads of the younger half of the table, but the older half still "get it"...

The rogue is unable to deactivate traps
yep, there's alot of that going around....
Go to earlier in this thread....
... the Rogue (5th level) doesn't have disable device, not even one rank, ... because he would then be expected to have to deal with the traps, and that could get you killed... "I'm not that kind of Rogue."

They belong to the Seamstresses' Guild?

For a moment there, I thought you were commenting on the brothel, rather than the rogue thing.

Well you could use it there too!

Here's one that actually happened, in a PFS game with a not-that-kind-of-bard:
Player, during combat: "Hey, how about some Inspire Courage over here?"
NTKOB: "Sorry, I'm not that kind of bard."
Player 2: "Okay, how about helping us with the fight, then? I see you've got a sword..."
NTKOB: "Sorry, I'm not that kind of bard. I withdraw and go full-defense."
Player 3: "These guys have invisibility--do you know Glitterdust?"
NTKOB: "No offensive spells; I'm not that kind of bard."
Player 4, after the combat: "I've got a Wand of Mage Armor; can you UMD it?"
NTKOB: "Sorry, I'm... well, you know."
Much later, in a tricky NPC encounter: "Looks like we need some Diplomacy here. Bard?"
NTKOB: "Nope."
"Bluff?"
NTKOB: "No."
"Sense Motive?"
NTKOB: "Sorry."
"Knowledge checks?"
NTKOB: "Not today, sir, no. We usually get knowledges in fresh on Mondays. Today, the van broke down."
Entire party: "You do HAVE some bard abilities, right?"
NTKOB: "Err...."
We never did find out what he was actually capable of doing.

I have seen someone play this type of bard. I looked at his character sheet.
The feat was fleet and spells were expedious retreat and alarm. Dex 20, cha 13, int 11, con 11.
They just played a coward that ran from everything, and never helped with anything.

Was his character's name Rincewind?

If I was GMing for NTKOB and saw the PC they had built, I'd view it as the player being a jerk and either ask them to leave or quietly mention to the other players that I would not notice if any of their PCs happened to accidentally on purpose damage NTKOB. After the game, I would let the player of NTKOB know they would not be welcome at any of my tables anymore.
The exception being of course, if that player only played with that group, and they were all okay with his character.

I remember a game where the DMPC was statted out like that.
Either the best or the worst escort mission ever, and I'm not sure which.

I've seen an alchemist that purposely did not take precise bombs and spent almost the entire time trying to PK using friendly fire. It was during King of the Storval Stairs too, if I remember right. I guess I didn't know I'd be in trouble when I got to the table on that one, but it became apparent pretty quick!
