Yeah I had a gasket stick to the oil filter adapter once with the inevitable results. Usually once is all it takes to religiously check each oil change (something I hammered into Cade over the years too).
Best one I ever ran into was when I was working at a gas station in St Louis around 1970. One evening when I came in the owner had a Tri-5 chevy up on the rack and wanted me to do oil change on it. It had had the original canister style filter on it so I pulled the can got the gasket out and put a new filter and gasket on. I was about to let it down when the boss came over and asked if I got the old gasket out and I told him I had, even showed it to him. Then he asked if I had checked for any additions gaskets stuck up the in the recess the gasket sits in......I told him no. So he had me pull the new filter and gasket back off and take a thin screwdriver to the gasket recess......there were 4 old gaskets stuck up there. Learned a lesson that night LOL.
