Villager Doing Their Jobs: Nitwit

Wouldn't it be cool to see these useless villagers do something interesting and have a touch of personality?

We already have farmers harvesting crops for food production for the village. I think it will be interesting and lively to see the nitwits do their own unique and special tasks. This will make the villagers and village feel more lively since the NPC's will be interacting with each other and their environment. For this post, I will be talking about the nitwit. Here is my suggestion:

NITWIT:
Being the villager idiot, it will make sense and add more personality if they also do some wacky stuff. An idea is that they can throw eggs (or snowballs if they are in a snowy area) at random villagers for their own entertainment. This will cause the other villagers to get angry and have angry particles. This will add a bit of liveliness and personality to the villagers. While I understand that this may aggro the golems so perhaps it would be better off to disable the golem's aggro if a villager is hit by a snowball or egg since they do no damage to the villagers. 
It will also be cool to see a bunch of nitwits group up and act as a group of annoying kids.
Another idea is to give them their own "voice lines" such as an annoying laughter whenever they do some shenanigans. This will make the nitwit slightly more interesting and different which will be a total upgrade from being just a useless villager. So instead of being a useless villager, why not make it useless and fun!

    This is excellent. Voted! I love the ideas that bring more personality to villagers. Maybe, also, nitwits could play tag with kids? Or they could ring the bell randomly for fun?

    I love it! Imagine, it's a normal day in the village, and all of a sudden, the bell starts ringing! Everyone runs to their houses, expecting a raid or some other danger, but after a while of nothing happening, they realize it was just a prankster nitwit.

    This is a wonderful idea! I suggested villager job animations, but you've taken villagers to the next level! I love this!
