One of my early memories of amateur radio was listening two simultaneous SSB ragchews on one 10 meter phone frequency. The participants of each were seemingly unaware of the the other QSO; I heard all four stations in the two QSOs 59+.

Anomalies like this are to be celebrated, in my view, rates notwithstanding.
