Like a check, you can write whatever value you want in the "Amount" box.

Most wallets estimate fees based on transaction size, so this did require a particular wallet or using an "advanced setting"

Or a bug. In any case, since this post is from the recipient of the fee, they probably have no way of knowing how it happened. At least, not until and unless the person who paid it comes forward.
