1) Got pwned repeatedly at Abaddon's Mouth then when somebody asked me if I was infused, I was like, "What's infusion?" Strangely enough, through both THK and Ring of Fire, I was never targeted by Spectral Agony.
2) Attempt to PUG THK.
What was the dumbest thing you did as a noob?

I hadnt been playing too long when i got a gold bow drop. It was non max but it was my first gold. Interesting thing about a vampiric weapon is that the health degen of -1 that it lists turns out not to apply to your target. I had identified and equiped the weapon just before going into a fight. Imagine my surprise when after the fight was over i was degening. I ran around looking for the invisible mesmer or necro and couldnt figure out why the hex wasnt showing at teh top of my screen. Ah yes teh good old days when all was mystery : P

Back in Beta, your equipped weapon showed up in your inventory.
So while in pre-sear, I sold some stuff then found out I had sold my only weapon. Feeling lost on how to obtain a new sword, and since all my attribute points and skills obtained at that time where for sword, I decided to go the the Academy. I thought that the Academy was another outpost for training and also thought there may be a weaponsmith or free weapons handed out for recruits.
Well, I found out the hard way about the PVP training mission that you faced after entering the academy. So there was me, a Wa/Mo in starter armor, with no weapon, running around like a noob trying to do something besides cast healing skills on myself or teammates.
Upon completion, found out about the quest to clear out the grawl and again, couldn't do much since at that time, if you LOST the pvp match, all you got for help with that mission was the low level henchman Stefan.
I re-rolled the char and started over.

-trying to sell my armor in ascalon, ppl were saying i was scammer but i ignored that since i didnt know what it means
-guy sold me blue sword from collector for 9k
-too much superior runes
-trying to solo (didnt know for henchies)
-ignoring expertise(it seemed as waste of att pts) when playing with ranger and constantly having energy problems.
and a lot of usual things newbies do...

I recall two things amongst my (long) list of newbiness way back when during Prophecies days. The first was with my warrior; I didn't like his helmet at all coming out of pre-sear so rather than wear the ugly thing I simply took it off while waiting for a better one to come along. I figured my armor wouldn't be comprimised much by the loss of just the helmet, and getting hit for several hundred damage at times never clued me in to this...
The second was my first foray into PvP. I was sharp to notice that in TA the backbone of the team was the healer. So naturally I devised of a plan to shut him down -- a mesmer build with nothing but as many interrupts as I could fit in was just the ticket! I remember winning maybe 10-15% of the time despite this, which essentially meant that my teammates were winning 3 on 4.

Mine is...
. Spent 1 hour trying to find out how to complete chabek village in NF
. Talked to an NPC for 30 mins, thinking how rude he was...
. Didn't know how to use skills and such even though they were right infront of me...
. Sold 2 elite armors to a merchant because they looked bad...
. I sold my perfect zodiac axe for 5k....
That about sums up my great GW life :P

My first serious character post-searing was a wammo (natch), on whom I thought it was a good idea to carry three weapon swaps - axe, sword and hammer - with a couple of skills for each one on the skillbar ><. I remember thinking that the hammer would probably be a good choice against the stone elementals in Diessa Lowlands, so I swapped from my axe to hammer to whale on them.
