My favorite is about a guy who smelled propane while driving.
His rear table had swung around and opened a stove valve.... in flight !
He was driving with his propane tank valve on...not always a great idea.

However, more times than I can count, I have turned the burner to that setting and left it on while thinking it off.  Went hiking once with it that way.  Yikes.  I have a marker posted between the burner knobs now that is a reminder to me to be sure the burners are turned to the "off" position.
