There are several layers for actions under Sharia law:

1. Wajib, Obligatory
2. Mustahabb, Recommended
3. Mubah, neither obligatory nor recommended (neutral)
4. Makruh, Abominable (undoing is recommended)
5. Haraam, Prohibited (undoing is obligatory)

Those items falling under Makruh are not punishable by things like stoning, beheading, etc. An example of a Makruh action is using too much water for pre-Salat Wudu (where they clean their feet before 5x daily prayers). A (non-exhaustive) list can be found here: http://www.shirazi.org.uk/makruh.htm

Be especially wary of these (LOL!)

Too much laughing.
Frightening people even if not to the unlawful degrees.
To cause commotion.
To be awkward and not to get on with others.
To be afraid of people.
Doing useless things.
To express grief in hardship.
Love of being praised.
To sleep a lot.

I suppose there are. I don't really know. The countries that blend Islam with their constitution have extremely harsh and bizarre laws, though. Saudi Arabia and Iran are perfect examples.
