so i fast traveled and arrived at 3 am in riverwood..and walked up to the riverwood trader to wait till business hours and saw a thief in thiefs armor squatted there in sneak mode at the door...i walked up to him and activated him to speak to him...he stands up and says "Im all ears!" but no dialogue menu...then squats back down and watches me...i kinda wished i had the option to say to him in dialogue "youre a bad sneak! youre not goin to sneak up on anyone like that!"

speaking of which, did oblivion have players ability to taunt enemies? does skyrim have it and i just havnt discovered it yet? if not id like to see it added please cuz its a fun thought!

I like the thieves that come up to you on the roads.

Love the money I get from their Glass Armor.

I like killing thieves on the road too;m Robber's Gorge is now one of my most raided locations in Skyrim.

I always select the "I don't have time for this." option. Then I sell their stuff after for good money

I wish the roadside thieves had a line other than just, "Hand over all of your valuables, or I'll gut you like a fish!".

As for the thieves in Riften, it's entertaining watching all of the guards gang up on the not-so-sneaky thief. I always loot their corpse of their gold and lockpicks.
