It's the same mindset where many employees class their sick leave allowance as standard holiday entitlement. I even had one guy a couple of years ago wanting to get paid out for 3 days he was still 'entitled to take sick' but hadn't.
This was the same employee who handed in his resignation out of the blue one day. A week after he finished I got a call from him wanting his position back because he thought he could claim UIF for 6 months but alas it didn't pan out as planned for him.
