Amusing glitches as opposed to annoying ones.

I had that one once where I was wandering near a Giant and his two Mammoths, when suddenly one of the Mammoths appeared 70 or 80 feet staight up in the air, hanging there like a cartoon for a brief moment before falling straight back to earth and keeling over dead. The Giant and other Mammoth didn't bat an eyelid, which I thought was strange, but it made me smile.

Then recently I had a quest action to go and see someone in her shop. When I got there and went inside, she was right by the door about to leave, and exited before I could say anything, so I followed her out. When I got outside she wasn't there. I turned back to the door, and you know how when you get close to a location marker you can see it through walls and floors and stuff? Well I saw this NPCs location marker dropping through the floor. After half a second or so of falling I heard her say, "WAUGH!", as she landed, and then proceeded to wander about underneath the map! Would've been a perfect moment for her to say, "Wow, I've never seen anything like *this* before!". I was worried it was going to mean a broken quest, but after entering and leaving the shop again she was back on solid ground.

Spoiler
What made me laugh more was that the quest was to showoff some fancy clothes to the Jarl of Solitude. When I got back to the NPC, still sporting these clothes she'd given me, she proceeded to start saying something about how crap my clothes were, and if I wanted something nice, to go to her shop!! Stupid cow, it was not 5 minutes earlier that she'd *given* me these fancy clothes, and now she was suggesting I looked like a tramp, but if I wanted to keep the fancy clothes then I could! Huh?! Was tempted to sell them straight back to her!!
