Radiant AI, R2D2 in progress? Options

[Hukai The Wandering]

Here's an example of the radiant AI in action. I'm following this guy through the city after he gets done working. He walks into his house. I'm 50 feet behind him so I don't get noticed and by the time I reach te door he's locked it. So, remembering that someone mention that he has a backyard I walk around the block trying to find it. I see a small gate that leads to a fenced-in grassy area and some guy tilling the land. Behind him is a door. I open the gate, walk past the guy working, and behold: the door leads into the back of the very house I needed to get in to. I crouch down, attemping to sneak inside. For a few seconds I wait, to make sure that no one sees me; and right before I enter the building some *honoured user*(cus word) inside locks it! Now, I'm screwed; I can't get inside and I have to wait another day before I can get anything done! All this pain thanks to the revolutionary AI created by the gods at Bethesda.

Any more stories, events, or just weird happenings having to do with RAI? Put 'em here!

I posted this briefly in my glitching Baurus thread, but here's the whole story.

I was in Arcane University and Baurus wouldn't leave the area to take me to the Elven Gardens, so I hit him to see what would happen. I didn't get hit with a fine/bounty/crime, so I hit him a few more times, upon which he attacked me of course! The hilarious thing is that some NPC yells "assault! someone is being attacked!" I'm assuming that because I am an apprentice in the Mages Guild, they defended me by attacking Baurus. What ensued was melee after hilarious melee - one or more of them would attack Baurus and he would fight back. Any time they'd knock him down he'd be unconscious briefly (since he can't die). Then, one of the mages would accidentally hit another when aiming for Baurus and those two would square off. In about an hour, literally dozens of mages lay dead around the outside of the Arcane University. I took all their nice daggers and stripped them naked, throwing their useless gear to the side so I'd know who I harvested. 
It was soo funny to see them attack each other over and over - all lights/fire/shock/various creatures summoned etc. When the hullaballoo subsided, I'd go and punch (no weapon) Baurus and the whole thing would start again. I'm assuming his dagger was in pretty bad shape because he did less and less damage per hit and turned into a nice trainer for my armor skill and armorer skill.

Luckily for me after resting and leveling up, he appeared in the elven gardens

Yeah something like that happened to me too:

I was in 'The best defence' buying some new armour from the guy in the steel curiass, so I made the guy like me to get cheaper prices. once i'd bought it I obviously wanted to try it out with my sword so I got my longsword out and started thinking how cool I looked as I smashed my sword through the stuff on his desk ( as you do )

Anyway I eventually accidently hit the fur armour seller , and because the other guy liked me so much he immediately started to attack my victim and chased him out of the shop, then all the guards started joining in outside because they thought he had started it

Good one.
BTW, there are two sellers in there; a heavy armor seller and a light armor seller. The "fur seller" when I visited sold mithril armor, and I'm sure if you visit at a higher level you'll eventually get glass armor.

There's actually a quest (Daedric: Mephala) where you do this sort of thing on purpose and get two groups of people fighting each other. I'm going to have to figure out more ways to make it happen!
