Title says it all. I searched and didn't see another topic like this so I hope I didn't duplicate anything. I'm still trying to think of mine but feel free to share you own

I thought echo nuking when it was popular meant Fire Storm+Meteor Shower.

Once when Brohn's Staff was worth 90k, i was selling it to a Monk. He offered 90k(This was the first big money trader for me ever). I put up the Brohn's Staff and he the 90k. Then he kept cancelling the damn trade, and of course i thought "Omg scammer noob" and began to insult him. I then after a while realized it was my fault because i had more than 10k in inventory.. I was too embarrased to even say sorry..

Got a Gold Sundering Summit Axe of Trollslaying. Not max damage, but had a perfect sundering mod- 20/20. I'm thinking WOOT, sell it, get myself a run from Beacon's to Drok's, get myself some nice armor to play through the rest of the game with, aye?
I whipped out my Expert Salvage Kit on the thing.
I got the Trollslaying bit.

I got two, you can pick one.
First one...
In random arena I entered a match - and discovered I'd
1) forgot to change attributes from sword to axe, so I was basically wielding a rubber weapon, and...
2) ... brought a capture sigil instead of a resurrection sigil.
Longest match of my life.
After losing I was relieved to get back to RA and change attributes to axe, then enter a new match....and when the match started I remembered that, oh yeah, the rez signet.
Second one:
Was farming Ghial from Market Square (easier run than from Senjis Corner) with two henchmen, and wasn't getting any drops at all. I figured that maybe I'd have more luck with real people, so I advertise a farming/Flesh-Golem capping trip to Ghial. I know the way, done this a dozen times, yadayada. I get a full team of hopefuls, and off we go.
However, what I didn't know, was that about halfway you cross from Bukdek to Skyway - and there's a gate there. Which, as some in the team hadn't done the Vizunah Square mission, was locked, and I'd just wasted 20 minutes of everyones lives.

awesome sauce
My guild wanted me to play tainted nec. for iway. Being my first time ever playing iway, i came out with a n/me.
Death Snapper
went into AB as a sword warrior. Someone on my teams like nice sword, and just earlier I was using my Golden phoenix blade, so I say thanks. Only then do I remember that I just SOLD my sword and forgot to grab another so I had no weapon in my inventory! lol
Mithie
The artwork for Sig of Devo is so similar to Blessed Signet. I rolled a boon prot in a hurry and guess which sig I took?
My guildies were none too amused

I hit Contemplation of Purity after my monk was ressed by Vengance.

I sold my only shirt to the merchant. A shirt with a major vigour rune on it. And did I mention it was my only one?
Going through several map jumps half-naked before rejoining the group and sitting through an akward silence before we got on with what we were doing was not exactly the most praise-worthy of my accomplishments.

under a rock.

I once accidentally sold a guildie's Victo's Bulwark to a merchant while I was helping him move some stuff from one account to the other. It took me almost an hour to buy him a new one.
eVeRt
On my first character(a E/R with a pet and flare) I wondered about a week between Old Ascalon and Yak's Bend trying to get to the snowy mountains. And I just couldn't get through. Eventually I discovered there were such things as cooperative missions.
Opeth11
I entered a mission as a monk and everyone was already dead.
Not really embarassing, just..awkward.

I did a UW run with a random monk (and I was the SS/Sv for a change) and I forgot Sympathetic Visage. I felt so stupid. I did have the 11 Illusion Magic though.

A guildie dropped a collectors bow with a few eapon mods on it onto the ground to show someone else and I didn't notice and preceeded to zone.
Loralai
Ahhh..I have so many, but two stick out prominently. The first of course, would be doing Bloodstone Fen with my very first character, a ranger, and constantly dying repeatedly. It was only then, (and thank God for the person who told me) was I informed that I shouldn't be playing in high end areas in pre-searing armor. It was no wonder I hated the game so much up till that point...I thought it was *SOOO* hard, as I died so frequently. That's what I get for assuming I can jump into any game without reading anything or just checking around.
The second would be my first trip to UW with a small guild group. Our 55, in the midst of a heated battle, seemed to be in trouble, and I was nice enough to cast Vital Blessing on him. That went over quite well.

Two days after Sorrow's Furnace was released, I got a Rago's Flame Staff as a drop. Now I was REALLY poor then, and though 10k was a ridiculously high amount of money. Ah, the old days :P.
Anyway, I get back into War Camp and find some guy buying all greens for 8k apiece. And I'm like "OMG yay lots of money!" so I sell it to him. One week later I bragged to a guildie about it and guess what? He informs me that it's worth 100k+. I go into War Camp and find out he's right.
I was so embarrassed and angry at myself I cried. Then I didn't play GW for a week.

Well, I once took a 3-man Spider farming group into UW instead of FoW. That was fun.
Another time I was helping my Allies beat Unwaking Waters so I took my Warrior in on the Kurzick side while they played from the Luxon one. However, we didn't synch properly and so my group ended up playing with Luxon henchmen. So, I tried desperately to agrobomb and kill my party in order to start over. Didn't work. I must have died 25 or 30 times and was running around with 1 hp but I still beat the mission (and had to repeat it of course). It was actually kind of sad that I failed at failing. My buds gave me some flak for it :-/

Once my boyfriend wanted me to help him in Elona Reach. I had just been farming on my 55, so I switched over to heal... only to find that I had forgotten to put a rez of any kind in my skill bar. Everyone died and was waiting for me to rez, and meanwhile I was on the phone with my boyfriend: "Aww crap I don't have a rez!! What do I do?!" I ended up leaving and blaming it on lag. I felt so bad.

Okay .. I have two worst moments in my life.
First time in HA, and went with this group, promised I wasn't a noob. Oh my Anyways, everyone had used their res sigs besides me, and I turned around hit CTRL and the Res Sig to have "I am using a signet of Capture on so and so."... so anyways they're all dead and Im the only one running around" .. I was so embarrased that I logged out and refused to go back to Guild wars for a week, hoping they'd forget about the noob they took. let's say now I double check I have my res with me in HA.
Second ...
55 monking then decide I'd help a friend with hells Precipice, change my skills and all that, jump in the mission and I get hit once and boom I'm dead. And they're like aren't you infused, and I checked, I was infused. Just my normal armor was still in storage and I was now a very dead 55 monk.
Now I keep all armor on my characters and not in storage ..

My worst 1 was when i was doing TA with some friends, and some guy on the opposing team said "Press Alt+F4" for high scores. and this was back in the day way back when i just started GW and i was nervous and i felt pressure playing pvp. So the noob that i am pressed alt+f4. i realized what i did 2 seconds later and i logged back in, my excuse to friends? "my little brother pressed the restart button".
it was so embarrasing. needless to say, i learned my lesson

Insuscient Ranger
Bought somone elses armor...
sky the unstopable
deleted my necro with 15k armor on it. how do i explain that ill never MM or BiP agian?
Caethas Turan
Just thought of the worst one .. deleted a level 1 character that had my kunnaveng on it ..
Quince
my very first char (e/n) 2 weeks after GW came out i had played several of the first missions without any kind of help at all... not because i knew what i was doing, but because i didn't know abouit parties (didn't pay attention in pre-searing and i had party info turned off) and had no idea parties even exsisted. SOOOO i was in the mountains finally and found out through a friend you can have people in a party with you (he laughed). So i start asking people to go on mission with me and a bunch of people say, just grab henchies. It took them like, 5 minutes to explain to me what henchies were, where to get them, and what they do. That was embarrising. go ahead, you can laugh now. For those of you wondering, yes i did play on beta, i'm just not very observant.
Sasuke The Betrayer
One time in the random arenas, i was running a water trident build. The other side had a boon prot and we were losing. I was noob back then, and hardly knew anything about other class's skill. The monk uses spiteful spirit on me (inspired hex, i guess it was out of boredom), which did like 6 dmg, because we had a necro on our team that was using SS. I thought enemy necro was a noob and forgot attributes. They did the common ranting of "gg noobs" after they won. Within the seconds to get teleported back, I said "Hah, you had a 6 dmg SS". After teleporting back, the monk replies with "I used inspired hex noob." I checked the priest to see it. I was humliated.
Hung Wei Lo
I hit on a guy :/
Griff Mon
I was going into Hero's Ascent with my guild for one of the first times. I was running a W/E at the time with a KD/AS build (this was a long time ago) and we went up against a Korean team. I clicked on one of the them and hit space and was typing something to my teammates when I realized that I was running over there. They told me to stop but my cursor was stuck in the text box and I typing sssssssssssss to no effect continuing to run for the enemy team full speed ahead. I got close to them, they were all mesmers and I was dead in one second.
Arcador
I leaded a full party in a PvE mission in a certain death. Some of them tryed to stop me, but I somehow conviced them that my way is the right one...thus we all ended dead.
Shadwu
I thought ranger spike was, that everyone takes spike trap. So I went to ranger spike with Spike trap. They didnt even have TS/Vent :S
