No - I just feel really uncomfortable being somewhere I am not supposed to be. That goes for doors I'm not supposed to open, parking spaces or access roads the car shouldn't be in (when i am a passenger - I don't drive) and so on.

The one exception to this is standing outside stations for a cigarette - I will take my chances on not getting shooed away rather than walk all the way to the smoking shelter and risk missing my bus/train - and if lots of people are ignoring the signs because that changes the social rules. If there's a sign telling me not to go on the grass, and there are loads of people casually strolling around on the grass, then I go with the apparent social ruling, rather than the sign.

It's all about not wanting to be somewhere I am not welcome, I think.
