How about Bilbo and the dwarves in the Hobbit? If Bilbo had never tried to pick the pocket of the troll, then they wouldn't have had to deal with them and they would have never gotten sting, orcist, or glamdring. Sting has helped out it's masters' numerous times. And if they didn't have orcist or glamdring, the goblins in the Misty Mountains wouldn't have been so scared and maybe they might not have escaped, therefore, Bilbo would never hd gotten the ring.
If Smeagol had never killed Deagol for the ring, it might have turned out quite differently and maybe it would end up in the hands of Sauron, or on the finger for that case.
Or Sam's failure to kill Frodo in Shelob's lair. If he had, Gollum would never had destroyed the ring.
By the by, great topic.
