I had put my money into the ticket vending machine on the train platform. The ticket came out, but the machine could not cut off the paper properly. Well, not too serious, I could live with that ticket that was looking just a little bit crumpled. After several seconds, an error message appeared on the screen. Then the machine decided to give me my money back. So I had both: my ticket and my money.
I liked that so much that I tried it again, and it gave exactly the same result again.
I could probably have repeated it for hours, but then my train appeared. :-)
When I was young we had a postage stamp vending machine.
And I believe it had a bunch of stamps peeking out from under it. And also tried to extract some more.
Took as many as I could, which ended in about 5 or 10€ in postage stamps :)
Yes, it has happened to me.
