Help
I can't remember the exact hand but I once led the ♦Q from QJx against 3nt. It was an unbid suit and dummy struck with 2 small.
Declarer won the Ace and later pard got in, cashed the King and I unblocked the Jack. Declarer ran the rest of the suit for just in. Duh! Pard would have led low if it mattered.
Grabbed a Daily Bulletin for the drive home next day (Pittsburgh NABC's) and as I'm driving, pard reading it says "Hey, somebody else defended 3nt just like we did." Ummm nope.

When a deaf person goes to court is it still called a hearing?

Scoring: IMP
Contract is 5♦ by W, ♠A led then switched to a club to J-Q-A. On the first round of diamonds, she finessed the Jack. We still don't know for sure if she meant to finesse or it was a misclick, but she didn't say it was a misclick so....
And then when it lost to the stiff Q and another club was led, she finessed again.

clearly she was just practicing her finesses

at least that play would ensure you would get into the bulletin 1 way or another.

I had one from a few years ago at the Victoria Regional:
You're playing 4♠ via an unusually normal auction. The lead is tabled, and everyone in British Columbia knows it's a stiff. It goes club, club, J....and you staring at the Axxx in dummy and Kxx in closed hand, DUCK. Another suit is lead and continued, and then a club gets pounded. Hand's ice cold, but -100 you record.
As you fret over your vulnerable game loss, when scores are compared, you learn that somehow, the opps also went down in the ice cold game. Imagine how you feel when, you learn the opps did THE EXACT SAME THING you did. Brilliant!

I was on lead against 4 of a major with AKTx. Dummy and partner had xxx and declarer had QJx. I cashed ace, and declarer played queen. I cashed King, and declarer was right there with the Jack. My ten won the 3d round of the suit, and the 13er enabled partner to uppercut declarer.
