The Dumbest Things You've Seen A Profession Do
Poison Ivy
Warrior : That thinks Stonekin's can increase knockdown time with Meteor Shower
Ranger : LFP Barrage team ~ Soon finds out he doesn't have Barrage and calls the team noobs for accusing him
Monk : Smiting
Necromancer : With a big sword...
Mesmer : Illusionary in PvE, without bringing any defensive skills at all
Elementalists : Uses Fire Magic in Hells without a Winter Ranger.

You're not in this list because you know how to use it correctly, same for all who do to, except for those who still fail and say after that "IoH is crap".

A monk who thinks being a bonder ment bringing an active prot build with no elites and protective bond...last night.
TeeGee
The most hillarious things i saw:
-Wammo in PVP that stopped attacking and started spamming Orison of Healing :/
-Monk in TA that used necro life draining skills. Necro in disguise lol?

Most of the gems I see occur in RA.
Like the wammo using devine boon.
I kindly pointed out to him to check his attributes :/ I was lucky(?) enough to get him on my team 3 different times and each time I was greeted by the whistling noise of his 5 mana attribute-less enchantment
I think I met his brother a few days later, this time I was lucky enough to get a screen shot

In an Ele spike involving glyph of energy, when they use the spike then glyph, then spike the target too early so they don't lose the effect. Easy way to let an infuser know 2 seconds early what's coming.

Both the biggest mistakes I remember are mine.
PvE Monk: In Fissure screwing around with a bonding build that has Watchful Spirit and Unyielding Aura. We get in a tough fight where too many groups are pulled and I have to do some combat ressurection.
Someone is taking some damage and I try to pull off thier Watchful Spirit to give them a quick spike heal. Except I misclick. And pull off thier Unyielding Aura.
I whistle to myself and pretend it was shattered by an enemy mesmer.
PvP Monk: I'm playing prot/boon in TA. I get overwhelmed and end up dying. I'm ressed by Vengance. I throw up Divine Boon and Mantra of Recall, and the enemy mesmer throws Migraine and Conjure Phantasm on me. Ah, let me just Contemplation of Purity.
*Death*
Oh yeah, Vengance.
Um.... Stonefists do increase KD time with elementalist skills.

On topic, I HATE monks who consider spamming Healing Breeze to be adequate healing.

All in all, I usually pwn a hammer Ranger with my bow Ranger. Its just ineffective compared to hammer Warrior, which I've found I can't always pwn if they know what they are doing.
@Lint, yeah I never say GLF monks. I always say GLF healers. Sorry should of clarified that :S

Let's see, I've seen some stupid stuff in all my time...
Warrior has to be the classic Frenzy and Heal Sig combo. Well, using Frenzy in PvE at any time is pretty damn stupid. I also call whenever a W/Mo is using Mending
For anyone E/ or /E, using Firestorm past Ascalon... Also for eles, being a point-blank fire ele with NO defensive skills WHATSOEVER... it's happened to me 4 times in the past 2 days... When questioned after their inevitable deaths, 3 of the 4 eles replied: "wats earth magic? nevr seen it". The fourth said "omg earth suks its all a bunch of crap fire is all i need". Apparently so apparently so...
I've seen my fair share of 'Minion Masters' spamming nothing but low-level Horrors... The one that cracked me up most was a so-called 'Minion Master' a while back...
*after the 3rd mob*
Ranger dude: 'so mm, r u gonna make some minions now?'
Warrior 1: 'yeah, i thought thats what mm's do'
Warrior 2: 'omg this mm is a wasted space. let's all rezone and ditch this loser'
'MM': 'ok nubs lemme get some energy first spamming swarm is costly'
'MM': I'm using Animate Bone Minions!
*summons level 0 minions*
'MM': I'm using Well of Blood!
*+6 regen well*
Warrior 2:'omg'
Stormlord Alex:'Dot.'
Stormlord Alex:'Dot.'
Stormlord Alex:'Dot.'
Hehe... I still chuckle on that one when I get lonely.

frenzy + power spiked mending = 214 some odd damage
Ninetail Trickster
I am guilty of N/Wness. Heck, it's still in my profile. Need to change that.
ExDeity
Didn't read all the pages, and I'm not sure if this has been said yet, but while playing Mesmer, and carrying quite a few anti-warrior skills, just in spite of being triple wammo'd in the random arenas, I had a warrior swing through ineptitude, empathy, and clumsiness, repeatedly, before eventually succumbing to death in 5 or 6 swings. He was rezzed, I placed the hexes back on him, and he continued to swing himself to death yet again. I've never seen anything like it.
I feel bad for the good Warriors out there. I rarely see you guys.

Ranger: Heal Area. Overlapping preparations. Putting nothing in expertise or wilderness survival while trapping.
Necromancer: Can't think of any at the moment.
Mesmer: Fastcast healing.
Elementalist: Haven't seen much, probably going full healing.
Monk: Fire Storm, Meteor Shower, no energy managment.
The Purple Pants Guy
Those are two different people.
I guess this is all PvP...
Also I've seen...
-a warrior spamming Heavy Blow
-a ranger spamming blind on me (a warrior) while I kept plague touching it back
-warriors frenzying to attack through ineptitude and clumsiness even when it was on them for like 5 seconds before they attacked
-a warrior using a firestorm that did 2 damage per hit
-me playing a smiting W/Mo powered by a staff and Balthazar's Spirit in RA and doing well
-a ranger using all mesmer spells and Melandru's Arrows (he was holding a wand + focus)
-a necro casting spiteful spirit and faintheardness on the same person
-a 55 monk in PvP who forgot protective spirit
-a W/Me randomly throwing up Physical + Elemental Resistance (PvP)
-beating a blood spike team in Tombs as a shock war playing with on my team a W/Mo, a ranger toucher, and 5 henchies
-that's all I can think of right now

doing defend droks and the mes is making minions and using necro skills even though we had 2 necros in the party and continually using rotting flesh even though one of the monks kept telling him not to =/
in FOW and one of the monks is weilding a bow and using barrage T_T it confused the other monk, who was a healer, at first because i saw that healing wasn't great at first till i noticed (me being bonder in group) that barrage was being used when we had no primary rangers

It is just as efective on a sword or axe. Same goes for apply poison. Don't be so fast to judge something as being stupid. It may come as a surprise but there may just be someone out there that knows a little something that you dont!
