Don't break the ice.
Most people are afraid to meet new people. They are afraid of opening someone. Thus, they are afraid to break the ice. Even if they have some authority they will most likely be afraid to open you and tell you do stop doing whatever you are doing.
Example:
I was at the gym and apparently there is a no-shirt no-service policy. Nonetheless, I did take my shirt off. One of the staff saw me take it off but he didn't say anything at all. If I had said "hello" to him, I would have broken the ice and he would have told me to put my shirt back on.
I didn't break the ice, and so I got away with it.
Example #2:
At school, I change in the hallway instead of the locker rooms because they are just too far away. Whenever I change in the hallway, there is always this AFC teacher (authority figure/staff member). He NEVER told me to go and change in the locker rooms... Until, one day. This day, I broke the ice. I opened him. I said "Hello." Once I broke the ice and opened him with a greeting, he took advantage of it and he told me to go change in the locker rooms. He didn't even greet me back. He just told me to go in the locker rooms. I helped him out by breaking the ice. The ONLY time he told me to go and change in the locker room was when I opened him (broke the ice).
Don't break the ice and you can get away with anything.
