If the fog lights aren't stock - I know many people wire them in parallel with the parking lights. So whenever you put the parking lights on (and headlights), the fog lights come on.

Or, again if they are not stock fog lights - the person may have installed them after one of the fuse boxes which get power as soon as the car turns on, resulting in fog lights that would be on even if the headlights or parking lights arent.
