a lot of the time i just pull off the odd icon or arrow, or pattern, you know like a hatched pattern/45 degree thing. then i'd just modify them, i mean, what's the point of spending time and money drawing a pixel arrow when there is really only one way of doing it!
i sometimes like to find sites with download sections, desktop patterns etc, often with a sort of textured effect, i might drop them into some of my collages as an extra layer. i quite often lift ideas/concepts for navigation and menus, that sorta thing, but i think everybody i know does that. its beyond being influenced i reckon. to get colourways going, i sometimes take a screen dump of a nice site and drop that in illustrator and get busy with eyedropper tool, it's all relative innit! that's what the webs for i suppose, and i suppose if you work for big company you can do it all the time, nobody's gonna believe a little student in the north of sweden with nice little flash site! its a tough life!
