We once skipped an entire chapter of “Out of the abyss” by saying “nope!” and running out of the city!
The DM introduced all the factions in the city, we realized they were all conspiring against each other, and they all asked of us to collaborate with them (against the others)… Instead, we stole a ship in the night and sailed away!
Only afterwards the DM told us it means we skipped a full chapter he had worked hard to prepare!

The more time a DM spends preparing something, the less likely the players are to play along
