When I deleted 100k that I put on a storage character thinking I had deposited money..I must a did a with drawl and I lost 100k somehow..I don't quite remember the details too much.
I also did a SoC thing. I went to kill this ele boss, and forgot to change my secondary to /E. Yeah it was annoying cause the boss was an awakened and I didn't really wanna fight the bastard again.
Your worst self-ownage???

sorrows furnace: changed my dwarven battle stance interrupter (strength/hammer) to a stance tank (sword/tactics) to help a guild group out...
It was 40%dp and lots of whining about tactics nerfs before I realised I hadn't changed the atributes and was forced to drink a cup of stfu

Like others, it was a SoC. Actually, it was with Maw! I promptly tried to get skill hunter title for warrior, so I was on to FoC. Knowing that he was uber hard, I went as W/Mo with my "stay-alive" build. When we finally killed him, I realized I didn't bring a SoC. So I went to kill him again. This time, I use SoC and see in the box "There are no bosses in range" or something like that. I look over to the party box and see that I'm a W/Mo still! This made me quit Skill Hunter altogether.

My guild leader put 25 ecto on his PvP character only to delete it later. It is a good guild joke we have.

Got a sup vig back when they were worth like 40k. Prices were really low lately, with it being like 18k. Normally I'm a hobo so I was so desparate I sold it for 18k. Next day, price doubles.

Withdrew 100g to invite someone while PvPing, then deleted the character. Wasn't until later I noticed I pulled out 100k instead of 100g.
I will still attest to the fact Asp embodies self-ownage, however.

Sadly, this happens to me more often than I like to admit: I get dropped that beautiful max gold item with low req and Salvage it instead of ID it by accident.

Me as a fresh-starting noob. Going SOLO with a lvl 6 E/Me with pre-searing paper armor (NOT the collector's but the very first) and having 7/8 skill all of different attributes (no runes either). I actually wondered how it could be sooo hard.
Also: thinking my aggro bubble to be my whole radar and thus never stop running afraid they'd catch up.

Got the game at launch - my very 1st drop was a black dye - thought it was cool and applied it to my starter vest.

Dying on my 55 with a vamp weapon eq'd deep in mineral springs. Didn't realize you can just quickly swap the weapon till a number of deaths later...
I can't count the number of perfect +30HP fortitude sword/axe mods I lost by failed salvage....when they were worth 100k+ back before the new salvage code.
On the flip side: Mindlessly farming for months before Factions came out...Factions came out and within the first week I was fortunate enough to be in an alliance that owned HzH. First chest dropped a Req. 9 15/-5 Zodiac Sword. Sold it for 1.5mil here on Guru. Made more money in ~2 hours with that one drop than I had before with all that mindless farming.

Mine would probably be using a normal salvage kit on a superior vigor rune after never having gotten one as a drop.

I know what you feel. Lost 10k in droks run because of this, may not be much but for first/second char (before finishing the game) it's painful.

I think the worst thing that I remember doing was:
-Merching a Dragos bow
In game, it would have to be using my MM, accidently saccing myself to death at Thunderhead Keep with a full boat of minions. Minions wiped the unsuspecting allies and took down the King.

Loads, but ones that stick out are, merching my beloved req8 wingblade swords, 20/20 + 30 , half asleep, selling black dyes to merchant while still noob,.Oh and the classic first troll run as a 55 spoke to collector outside droks, then put on enchants, run up the hill and drop dead from one arrow from avicara, realising then i had put mending, balths , and blessed aura etc on the collector

Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I find it appropriate to be in the n00b related issues.
Worst self ownage would be when I realized that I had sold Malinons Shield to the merchant not knowing what it's real value was.
Ahhh noobness...

Catapulted my team in my first GvG.
Thought "Elonian Necromancer" & "Krytan Necromancer" was just a very well-thought-out team naming scheme.
Explored/ran myself to LA with a lvl 10 Mesmer, my first character.

Borrowing 30k from my mate to make up what I needed to buy a Ghial's Staff for my necro. Bought it as my warrior for 125k because they were brand new very early on after Factions' release. I was bankrupt afterwards but happy I'd got it at last, so I customized it... AS my warrior. And then I was asked to pay the 30k back. I emitted many angry swear words. What also annoys me about that is I was semi-consciously aware of what I was doing 
. Don't you hate it when you know you're doing something retarded but you do it anyway?

When I went to the Stygian Veil in the DoA the 1st time, I took a SB healer with Necrotic Traversal. I did good I thought, I got into the trench, my team died and I rebirthed them down in the trench. No one told me not to rebirth the tank when he died, I thought that was what I was supposed to do!
I guess its not really my fault that the tank died, but if it was that important, I think someone should have told me, after all, I just rebirthed the whole team, how was I supposed to know not to rebirth the tank!
Its the only time I actually had other players yelling at me on TS!
