Cindy, do you mean balls that people call out but hit back over the net anyway? Or serves you think are out but the opponent is playing them and looking for two bites at the apple?

I mean when the receiver calls it out because it is waaaaaaaay out but then she winds up and returns it anyway instead of pocketing it.

She believes she is doing the server a favor or just wants to practice her return. I have heard these reasons given as excuses for violating the Code.
