Freaked out that Google Calendar had an alert for a 4:45am train ticket on a day that I do need to travel, but I haven't bought tickets yet, and certainly wouldn't plan on a 4:45am departure. Turns out Google is scraping information from my email, and copied a friend's forwarded train ticket, at the wrong time, on the right day, and listed it as if I'm the passenger.
There was no "Should we add this to your calendar?" notification; it just... told me I have a ticket.
