That awkward moment when you are doing a bedlam job in Whiterun, and:
(1) Irileth comes up to you as you're stealing from Dragonsreach because you haven't triggered that in "Before the Storm" yet.
(2) you steal four bottles of Black-Briar Mead from post-Dampened Spirits "Honningbrew" Meadery to finish the bedlam job, sell them off (along with your other stolen goods) to Mallus Maccius, WHOM YOU JUST STOLE THEM FROM, then turn back around and buy the four bottles of mead legitimately from him.
