Feli,

Your reaction was entirely defensible as performance art.

Back in college I was studying character animation at CalARTS
(California). One Monday a large piece of tumble weed with some trash
entangled in it appeared near the trash can at the back entrance to the
department. Back then tumble weed was fairly common out in Valencia. It
sat there most of the week and more trash started to accumulate around
it. One day I got fed up of looking at it, so I picked it up and stuffed
it in the trashcan. Later that day there was a big rukus going on in the
main lobby area. Some "artist" was screaming bloody murder, because his
art project had been vandalized. Turns out it was that piece of tumble
weed I had stuffed in the trash...

Oops.
