The cases you mentioned were acts of genuine stupidity, but that's because they are so extreme. I'm talking about more "safe" situations. For example, going to investigate a sound you heard at the cellar alone. That usually doesn't end well in movies, but it's not illogical to do in real life (sure, it's still a bit risky, but almost anything is).
