Oh a couple. Were much more common in previous editions.

First one I played, a swarm of bats comes out a cupboard I iust opened in a haunted house module. I'm playing the wizard who could burning hands and save us all in an instant. But we'd been plagued by a few illusions, and so I attempt disbelieve it instead. Two rounds later: we're all dead and the party blames me.

First one I ran: smaller party of three in Dark Sun. Just a few halflings to try and nick their stuff, this one should be easy right? Halfings use poison on Athas. Paralysed one, critted the other, last one frantically trying to unparalyze the other party member, and so I basically have to as a DM or this isn't Dark Sun; I swarm him and tie him up. They then proceed to roast him alive, and eat him. Lesson learned: don't mess with anything on Athas, lost more than a few parties on that planet
