There's a difference. A better example of your analogy would be someone going into a build via a private staff entrance, who has been caught and told to use the main entrance but instead still uses the staff entrance and checks for those who told them not to like a sneak. Intentially breaking the rules because it may have a slight benefit or make them feel more important than everyone else who abides by them.
Changing the price and adding an extra charge to the bill hoping the customer doesn't complain? Super Israeli behavior.
Exactly. The difference between OP and "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission," is that one only applies to doing something that is unaddressed until you run into friction. Whereas the jewish one is deliberate rule-breaking even once you've been informed.
