Alrighty, now this comes about from some dodgy stuff I have seen lately on the cliffs.
Now what I'm talking about is anything from dodgy rappels or retreats, dodgy pro, dodgy belaying (aka american belay techniques).
I mean, I have seen some seriously dodgy stuff, like, people bailing of a single nobbins of rock, just with rope sitting on top.
And of course one of my favourites is the no hands belay technique, while talking to some passer by, whilst the leader is freakin on the crux.
But there are so many, and I don't want to bore anyone with mine so..., first answer poll, (not really that serious) then spark out some of the classics.

So, what do you do, when you see people being F*&#! Dodgy?
