I know someone who encountered the following strange situation.

She wanted to drive with someone else from Newark to Nashville,
then fly from Nashville to New Orleans and eventually return to Newark.
She could book a non-stop round-trip from Newark to New Orleans, or,
for less money, book a round-trip from Newark to New Orleans with a stop in
Nashville.  She wanted to do the latter, and simply not fly the
leg from Newark to Nashville.

Thus she asked if she could get any money back on the unused Newark-Nashville
leg.  She was told that she was REQUIRED to fly from Newark to Nashville:
if she didn't show up on the plane in Newark, her reservation from
Nashville to New Orleans would be cancelled and there was no way to
prevent it.  Furthermore, flying from Nashville to New Orleans costs
more than flying from Newark to New Orleans with a stop in Nashville!
