I have several characters in the novels that I write who decide to butt in on normal every day activities. It's especially bad when your friends know about your characters and are writers themselves - they only add to the situation.
An example of this would be my character Rowan Cordone, an FBI Profiler/Agent. She's only a side character, but she's one of those characters that seem to write themselves. There are times when I'll look at something a person or someone on TV did and think "that was a very Rowan thing to do."
Or, have you ever practically run into your characters on the street? Either by looks or personality? I've done that several times.

Ooh, this happens to me some times. Once, my friend kept doing things that resembled my character Cassandra. It worried me a bit, because I kept expecting her to do other things my character would do, such as punching the people who were bothering her. XD
