My characters often end up exasperated by how idiotic and chaotic the other ~characters~ players are. That checks out.
"So the walls started bleeding, a thousand voices cried out in pain, and a sinkhole into the unseen depths opened in the kitchen."
"Right."
"And you, a normal human with no magical powers or special equipment, you jumped into the sinkhole."
"Yes."
"Why?"
"It was there!"
"And then your character died, as one would expect from a hundred foot drop onto stone. And now?"
"I don't understand. What else was I supposed to do??"
Ok, so, the trick is to make sure the NPC's are the same way. That'll really confuse the players.
Person jumps off a roof and splats in front of the party
player: "why did that happen?"
dm: "They had just purchased boots of flying from an untrustworthy source and figured this was the best way of testing them."
Having the party run into a group of edgy adventurers is always a fun time.
