What happens if I "miss" my flight?

Hi there.. new to FT. I'm flying to the south of France from Los Angeles next month with a layover in Zurich. On my return leg, I have an hour layover before my flight back to LA. From reading on these forums, this is plenty of time to catch my connecting flight at ZUR.

I have some friends in Zurich that would love to take me out in the evening. My questions is.. what happens if I purposely miss my flight in Zurich with the hopes that they put me on the flight the next day, so I can spend the night there? I don't know.. tell them I had explosive diarrhea or I fell asleep at the boarding gate and I missed the flight...

Has anyone had any experience with this? Are there any additional charges? Would I be forced to pay a fare difference?

Thanks in advance!
