I'm not sure about the "successful" part, but I do. Mostly at parties, with a wide angle lens, while not looking through the viewfinder. Just point the camera in the general direction and snap.
It tends to catch folks unaware. You can also get some interesting angles and viewpoints.
As an example, here's a PESO from a while back. No time for viewfinders or two hands on the camera. My youngest, Claire, sucking on a "Warhead", a candy that's excruciatingly sour for about 15 seconds, then turns sweet:

Taken during the initial "sour" part <g>. Sorry about the large size, it was posted before I was "told"...
