Unfortunately, it happens quite often.

If I gave someone twenty bucks and asked them to buy me a hammer at the hardware store, and if instead, they bought themselves a tape ruler with the money, I wouldn't be pissed at the hardware store and try to sue them.

If I wrote a love note and asked a buddy to give it to the girl I was interested in, and if instead, he rewrote it and passed it off as his own and ended up hooking up with her, I wouldn't be pissed off at her.

If I laid a $1000 bet on a horse who came in first, but was later disqualified for doping, I wouldn't be upset with the track officials for reversing the results of the race. I'd be mad at the trainer and owner who cheated.

...you get the idea?
