Apr 13, 2013 at 21:47 comment added user31960 A compact Hausdorff space has the property you want if and only if it is totally disconnected. See theorem II.16.21 Bredon, "Sheaf theory" (second edition, GTM 170). Examples of compact totally disconnected spaces are the Cantor set and $\mathbb{Z}_p$.
Apr 13, 2013 at 19:56 comment added Tom Goodwillie If every open cover of $X$ has a refinement consisting of disjoint open sets, then every (locally) surjective map of sheaves on $X$ is surjective on global sections, so that higher sheaf cohomology is trivial.
Apr 13, 2013 at 17:59 comment added André Henriques Before the Cantor set, you might want to look at the one point compactification of $\mathbb N$.

Added clarification about the pathological nature of these spaces.
