I admit to doing this, once. I use to live in Asheville, NC, and I was in Houston visiting some friends. I booked the IAH-CLT-AVL one stop on US to get home. The plane was delayed coming out of IAH, and upon landing the very Southern FA announced that if you were continuing on to _ashville, you could stay on the plane, since it was a light flight and it would be a quick turn. I was half-asleep in my F seat, and had thought she had said Nashville, not Asheville. So, when she walked past, I asked her to make sure the plane was going to Asheville. She said yes. So, I stayed on.
Of course, it was the same flight crew continuing on. Imagine my surprise when the Yankee Captain announced we were going to Nashville, TN.
Oops.
