Lost my Rit when ANet had that major skill change update I didn't know about (80k from r2), and again when the H&H AI decided to go on strike and stop doing anything helpful! 
I'm now 1/2way to r2 with my third reroll of this Rit. Like others, I've had a few scares when my computer starts running a virus scan - always when I'm near a mob! - and my screen minimizes and I can't get it back for like 2 minutes.
Going slow. I just need to complete Elona Reach (again! - and its proving harder than before for some reason - used to finish w/10 minutes to spare, and now I can't seem to get the second crystal until I've lost half my timer! wtf??) then do the Doppleganger and get my 50k bonus xp!! (Unless they've changed that encounter, too. I've always gotten it down in under 30sec.)
Then, its time to start capping Elites before I head back to Cantha and Elona!

Old Jade Brotherhood. When their parties had much more members (6..8 instead of 4..6)
Twice (Ritualist and Monk)
In both cases, it was due a to a heavy Dragon's Stomp spike.
Now Jade Brotherhood are a joke both in Hard and Normal mode. It's like they having less health or armor or something.

Not neccessarily funny, but while I was getting a run in Droknars forge the other day, i felt like trying to run with the guy and just try and see if i could do the first part ( at this time I totally forgot i had the title), when i tryed to through a cave of trolls, my computer froze for about 3 seconds, i got back, then i noticed i was stuck in a rock, with a bunch of trolls hitting me then i died.
As i said, not really funny, but it happened =(

Haha, vamp weps are the bane of survivors. 
I've only made two half-hearted attempts at the title. :P The second's one's at R1, not doing anything cheesy, and still going strong. But the first one I lost due to getting sandwiched in by corsair patrols in Istan, of all things. I thought I'd cleared them out, but I guess some were just coming back from a coffee break or something. I was talking on the phone and barely even paying attention because I was so sure I was about to win all the prizes, and then suddenly the beach was CRAWLING with pirates. XD
I didn't even get a chance to map out. Luckily, the character had the wrong name anyway, so I was able to fix it AND try again.

I only tried for Survivor twice - first one died at like level 9, second made it no problems and is now in proud possession of "Legendary Survivor".
The first char died when I was dumb enough to go AFK in Zehlon Reach.
I return to see my necromancer, Koss, and Sousuke in the ground and Dunkoro trying to wand off a skale invasion.

I killed my first survivor on purpose because it was annoying trying to get rank 2, and now i am trying it again (not the same character) almost close to rank 3.
The Fox
PC froze for about 10 seconds... while at full life and holding a pot that made me invincible when combined with the high armor of physical resistance and the prevention of adrenaline gain from Ancestor's Vistage.
Theoretically, I should have gained life even though frozen but when my pc regained movement I instantly took about 30 hits all at once and oddly had lost all my bluffs... *cries Was so close to Legendary Survivor...

My first "real" survivor was mobbed by the spiders in pre south of Fort Ranik. poor poor lvl 8 war...I wish I knew how on earth I died though...those things were only doing 1-3 dmg on me...weird...

I'll be honest though, I never actually failed to get the title, I came close MANY times and almost soiled myself on many occasions and I'm sure I have some mental trauma from it all but that's what I get for playing normally I guess.
What's funny is when I first learned of the title, I was on my Assassin working my way through NF and at the time I had no idea it was a one time thing, I thought it just reset the title every time I died so I kept farming for XP and never realized that it didn't work that way until someone finally told me... Oh the joys of being ignorant.
I should also note that if you play normally expect stress to really set in on you the farther you get into the title. The home stretch... Lets just say I didn't eat or drink much because I felt sick to my stomach from the pressure.
EDIT again!: Fox is absolutely right about PUGs! They are the very bane of this title, whatever you do, do NOT tell your group that you are going for the title for the simple reason that some choice people will try to pull mobs to you and ruin everything. My suggestion is, if you're going to play through normally, get max armor and heroes ASAP and then avoid anyone and everyone that could potentially want to ruin your work.
The Fox
I'm still impressed with anyone who has survivor IF they played though the game first and didn't just go straight to a spot to farm OR EVEN WORSE ... have something farm for them.
When factions first came out I remember taking my ritualist though PUG's and healing my way through the game. Then I went game to a safe farming spot after henching my self to a good elite. Reguardless, PUG's are nerve racking when you go for survivor of any rank.

I actauly caused a pretty epic lost of survivor title, not on myself. I was with my friends outside ToB and I launched the catapult. One was a Dervish and outta nowhere he just ran through.... I didn't have time to tell him to get out of the way.
BAM! Hit dead on.
His response:.......
He was level 19 too.
Saint Zeth
I was playing through Vizunah Square, and after beating the mission, a couple people didn't skip the cutscene. As I watched, the necro's minions were running loose and attacking everyone. When I ended up back in the outpost, I realized that my Survivor track was gone. I was pretty mad about it for a while, and it seems like this bug has been fixed since then. Now, I just look back and laugh.

I have the opposite.
I tried for survivor many times. At least 30 by my count. With only prophecies my choices were quite limited. I had limited skills, and no heroes. Many deaths were due to my lack of knowledge of game mechanics, some more were due to instable internet connections.
After a frustrating 700k loss due to alesia sucking like always, I decided my next survivor would simply play as much as possible.
I was more gung ho than normal and went and henched my way through the shiverpeaks to most of the oustposts with the exception of mursaat scaryness. I capped all the elites in all the zones (Including Dreadnoughts) with henchies.
I ended up getting survivor by NOT being super extra careful. Every time I was super extra careful, I died...

When the title was first introduced, my boyfriend and I decided to try for it, just for fun. I rolled a new Mesmer and he a Ranger. It was a new experience to try to be more mindful of our survival, but we both reached level 20 with no deaths, and were satisfied. Our goal then really was just to see if we could make it to max level without dying because we actually wanted to just play them up normally. We joined some PuG and they got us both killed in about 15 mins.
My second attempt to seriously get max rank wasn't til Nightfall, on my Paragon. I got rank 3 just playing normally, along with many FoW clearing trips.
However, my boyfriend's second attempt to get Survivor, he was killed in the Vizunah cutscene, when the other party did not skip.
His 3rd attempt he died in Tihark Orchard, using a build I gave him.
He reached rank 2. He totally blamed me, even though it was exactly the same build my own Survivor used when she did it, hehe.
He's on his fourth now...wish him luck!

i had just gotten survivor (1) on my paragon when my brother asked me to come back and help him with consulate docks real quick. As i had already done the mission I said sure and figured I could pick up the masters reward this time for more XP. well low and behold at the very end of the mission I rubberbanded to the bottom of a set of stairs with about 12 archers standing at the top, I promptly got spiked by sundering attack x 12 ignite arrows x12.
Needless to say I was a bit mad at my brother for asking for help on such an easy mish, but I guess it was my fault too :\

I lost survivor on my Ranger while trying to take down Kenshi Steelhand's group, and while I was far enough away with my flatbow, he randomly shadow-stepped right near me, and unleashed his combo before I realized what happened and didn't have a chance to hit Whirling Defense. Yes, Kenshi is a prick.
Survivor like balloon: one prick, all gone.

Well, was doing the once uber LS farm outside marketplace and and I walked out of the range of Symbiosis. Wasn't exactly funny but it was the only survivor I lost.
Edit: Guess I just kinda pushed those out of my memory hehe
Just remembered my ele survivor was still on shing jea and I was having a bit of fun with a lv 20 monk friend doing the quest where crimsons kull try to attack the little village. Well she said it was ok to go leeroy everything and I did and went out a bit too far and got spiked by the groups we let accumulate.
Also was doing bonus for Venta and got spiked by seige attacks when koss aggroed another group before we were done with the first, wasn't able to kill all in time and the fortress was made known of my presence.
Troll moar?
Also FFF is such a slow and painful way to get the title, all those hundreds of people FFFing? They want max titles/better pve skills.

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but has anyone had the "low-health-from-heavy-spiking" nightmares (which include obsessive /deaths checks)? A couple times I'd wake up in the middle of the night and boot up GW just to check my death count. Man, that title is scary when obtained without farming.
Anyway, I don't have any funny lost-surv-title stories. Most times, it's been from cockyness. That got me many times

But I wasn't really going for that title.... I just didnt die until I was lvl 15....

I lost survivor on my ritualist at 19 and ½lvl while Afflicted group popped out near Kaineng Center.. Didn't have time to even start healing myself... And other one was, when I yesterday made myself new warrior, I managed to get killed by lvl 2 Ele with sword in pvp part of leaving Pre (tho their henchies did most dmg to us). However, I'm happy to have LS on my monk, and I think that's enough

I've done a couple of stupid things with survivors in the past. One was wandering out of the Marketplace with only 6 people in the team and only one monk on my Ritualist.... Oh I kicked myself for that one.... I remade her and she since got Legendary, meeting her untimely end outside Chantry of Secrets.
Most heartbreaking one must have been my Prophecies Necro who I very carefully ascended and was taking through Ice caves on my lonesome (H/H of course though). Got near the end where the mursaat were moving over the bridge. It looked like they weren't going to get killed by the catapault so I got my bow and fired to pull them back under. Catapault + Spectral Agony on an uninfused survivor = dead survivor, some alcohol and chocolate needed. Just got her replacement through that mission last night and I had some more alcohol to celebrate :P
