Don't know why, but it's very common.
When users make a mistake, automatically starts looking for a cancel 
button, or try to close the window (as fast as they can)

Implemente the trash metaphor inside greasemonkey sound like overkill 
(at least for me)

What about the uber-annoing "Are you sure?" dialog?

Just my 2 cents
