Here's something I see people doing every now and then - but usually, I don't think many people fall for it anyway - it's called "angle shooting" here (for some reason) and this explains it (sort of):

Angle Shooting

There is another form of improper play referred to as angle shooting. Angle shooters try to use the rules or procedures of poker to their own advantage. Angle shooters will also try to take advantage of another players lack of proper procedure. A classic example of an angle shooter is a player who is suppose to act behind you but verbally declares at showdown that he has a flush. You muck your hand and he then reveals his hand which is not a flush. You would have won the pot had you not mucked your cards.
