On the one hand, it’s fun to fuck with players. “So you enter the room? Cross the threshold of your own free will? Ok who’s wearing metal?” when none of that matters, but you write it down anyway.
On the other, sometimes I’ve had to be like “ok guys seriously there’s no traps here. Put away the ten foot pole and chickens let’s just move along”
And they opposite, when they ask to roll perfection or investigation when it doesn’t matter at all and the improv’ed answer turns into a major plot point

I would do random dice rolls behind the screen.
I like to randomly ask if they wanna move around stealthily, even when there is no one to find them
I killed an unrelated NPC that witnessed me because my DM did that once.
