I was deleting crap in my warrior's inventory, and deleted her 15k Glad's chestpiece. It's not a lot, but still. I could've avoided it. >_>.

I'm sorry on the loss of the Emerald Blade. That does suck.

I'd say that deleting my Mask of the Mo Zing because it's so damn black you can hardly see it in the inventory was a bummer for me.

Along similar lines to the above suffering, I recently was using a PvP char for a side-mule (mules 1 and 2 were full and I needed another with Great Temple access) and rerolled it to another class... only in my horror to realize I'd lost 15-20 items, the lot worth around 100-150k =(

The other day I didn't take my own advice (see avatar) never had a res sig on my assassin's bar at all. Never needed it - figured I'd die first... Well the mission in the Hidden City, the final bosses were all clustered. I lure the fire ele, I survive with Goren, and the rest of the team wipes.

Going through EotN on my Ranger, using some heros and Zhed. I was wondering for the entire time why it was going so slowly and Zhed was never using skills unless I told him to. About a week after I had finished EotN, I realized he was set to Evade. doh.

Oh, and not knowing that Destroyers are imune to Burning, and spamming SF with Zhed on the Disc of Chaos.

My worst self-ownage was listening to an 'experienced player' who wanted me to change my build before we could group.

I listened because I am pretty new, but the new build was not better and I wasn't used to it. I was not as effective as i could have been with the build I was used to and it took the fun out of the adventure . . . which was a failure in the end anyway.

Setting up a Death Level in pre with my 16 Ele.

Come back after 90 mins just to check and seeing my GW frozen and crashed.. but noticing 300 times used on each of the charr skills (penetrating attack/ignite arrows/Wild Blow/energy burn used against me, and me dead and not being rezzed at the shrine.

Guess there was no hope there.

Let's see. I was eager to help my Boyfriend get throught Factions, so just after farming I jumped to Vizunah to join him.

It took me five minutes to realize I had the wrong skills.

Twice now I've gone after a Mesmer boss, killed them and then eagerly run off without capping. It's a good thing I'm not doing this in Prophecies.

*sigh* I'm having a special moment today. I blame a lack of sugar and caffine. Let's hope I can finish this damn skill title without too much hassle.

Stunned at his ignorance, I lead him to the sex-book section of Borders, where I find "The Pop-up Guide to Kama Sutra". I'm, to his amusement, showing him what it is using the pop-up features of the books when my GOD DAM PHYSICS TEACHER WALKS PAST.

Now I don't usually HAVE Physics that day, and it was my final day in college for a week (Half-term holiday) but I HAD TO GO AND SEE HER to find out homework I had missed being ill the previous day. She took one look at me and burst into laughter.

Gee Gee me :/
haha haven't laughed that hard in quite some time....done similar except I think more unfortunately my mum walked past? that worse or better you decide ^^

in-game deleting my main char and all his armor / gold / rare items / minis - because I was going back to college - deleted thinking "never mind won't get time to play anymore" - turns out got it all wrong and wasn't due back at college for another month - got rather ragey at this......(stupid typos in college letters lol)

*sigh* accidently deleting mini-mad king thorn
also logging on at 2AM to check if an american mate of mine was on and seeing someone saying "WTB mini-yeti" - being bloody early in the morning I didn't read his offer correctly and traded him an unded mini-yeti for the amazing sum of............10k + 10ectos - I read it as 100k+100ectos - oO that tought me to sleep and not play stupid games at even more stupid times in the night *sighs*
