I once "escaped" Frankfurt *by accident*; I actually entered Germany without meaning to there was an unlabelled fork in the road and a tiny border checkpoint in the corridor which I didn't correctly recognize.
At this point, pretty sure that Frankfurt airport is the world’s largest escape room

I thought it was some random airport checkpoint (it was really small, fitting in a corridor) and gave them my passport which they stamped. Five minutes later, I'm outside.

I go back through security and they're like "you entered Germany just a couple hours ago (it was early morning) wtf were you here for" and I made my best sheepish face and said "oh it was an accident"

It took me a while to figure out this signage, from my POV I thought it was contradicting itself but it turns out it just wants me to go through the shop

My gate is in the A14-49 range which has *terrible* signage

My favorite FRA incident was when the guy at security forbade me from taking items out of my bag that I knew would need to be X-Rayed separately, only to have the X-Ray guy fail the bag and run it through again with those items separated.

(I think that one even beats the rats running under the chairs against the wall in the gate areas.)
