A friend-of-a-friend of mine took part in an international swimming event which involved swimming from one country to another, with a boat keeping pace in case anyone got in trouble.

He was swimming back to his home country, so he never bothered to get his passport stamped or anything, he just went home. The next time he interacted with passport control they got mad at him because his passport still showed him in the origin country of the swimming. He basically took the attitude “bro it’s not a big deal, relax, I’m here now, just stamp me” and they gave him a whole bunch of grief and then just adjusted his paperwork and sent him on his way, because what else can you do.

Then for the next year’s event he did it AGAIN, and the second time the passport people discovered the issue they were even more angry, and he still just kind of took the attitude “bro you don’t run me, I’m not malicious and IDGAF about your system, just stamp me and let me go to Italy or whatever.”
