I've had cases of characters deciding to do their own thing against my wishes. Either they develop traits I never intended them to have, build relationships I didn't expect them to make, or do something that completely changes the story. And all these changes make things turn out much differently than I've originally planned.

I never try to fully control my story anyway. If the charatcers are strong enough, they'll be the ones telling the story.
