Spike's errors seemed to build on each other in this episode.

His first mistake was stopping the tree trimming and the water main repair. Twilight may have needed quiet, but repairing at water main in that condition was a priority. Spike should have asked Celestia, Luna, or Cadence to put a sound proofing or sound reduction spell around the room so that the work could continue without disturbing Twilight. Or, Spike could have tried to repair the water main himself. All he needed is a welding torch, and Spike's is "build in".

The second was trying to make decisions on Twilight's behalf. Again, he should have asked the other princesses or directed the delegates to them.

The third, of course, was part of his nature: giving in to greed by using Twilight's name to gain special favors.
