What's the stupidest thing you ever done on your character?

[SCB]

I bound myself in front of CT forgetting that a Bouncer patrolled right there. Death loop ensued when my baby's mom came over.

An awesome cleric rezzed me over and over for free despite epics not existing yet. Still lost 1.5 levels, after all the rezzes.

Way back when on my second crated char. (the first was a dwarf that fell off a mountain and I could never find his body so re-rolled) I worked a wood elf war. up to lvl 4 and headed to orc hill. I was just standing there killing whatever came near me and to my very inexperienced mind wave after wave of orcs were charging up the hill (the group was pulling and was very happy with my free help) and we were fighting for our lives. all very exciting stuff but I noticed I did much better when someone cast Skin like Wood on me. I saw someone ask for a SOW so I put two and two together and figured that was skin of wood.... Im getting low health by now so I start shouting 'someone give me a sow if you want to survive the night! these orcs aren't going to stop and we have to work together'. Sad thing is I wasn't embarrassed about it till much later.

I was 12 in early 2000 when I first started. I have a few embarrassing memories.

One of my first characters was a halfling. Someone cast invis on me so I thought I could attack whatever I wanted and it couldn't and therefore couldn't hit me. I ran into Kithicor at night and attacked a red skeleton general of some sort. After to coming to in Misty, I thought the invis must have just ran out at the wrong time, so I asked for another and tried again. I asked everyone in Misty why my invis kept running out when I attacked things and felt like an idiot afterwards.

I few characters later (I made dozens, if not hundreds of alts) I managed to get a druid to level 19 in East Karana. I was so excited about getting ports, but it was 3 or 4 in the morning and I was passing out. I was bound near one of merchant houses for quick selling. Bad idea. I fell asleep in my chair, and when I woke up I was level 14ish. That character was promptly deleted.

And finally the all too common: I gave a friend my password. I was 14 now and finally stuck with a character. My level 50+ ranger (yeah I know awful choice) was semi-decked out from selling so many fish bone earrings. One day I logged on and all my gear and Plat was gone. I assumed it was my "friend" but he wouldn't admit it. This next part sounds bad, but his parents were awful and I told him he could no longer come over my house unless he admitted to it and gave me my stuff back. He did, but then I never talked to him again. I still feel bad about that.

Since level 2 my worst mistake has been buying a spit and mixing bowl since I was planning on baking and then learning that food durations are bugged with no plan to fix until velious. Spits and mixing bowls take up a whole slot in the bank so I was out a couple bank slots for a few weeks.

Make a bunch of fish rolls. Not all food weighs the same.

Oh yeah, he took my gear. It took a few weeks but he eventually gave it back. I think if he immediately gave it back I would have forgiven him, but I was addicted to the game and denying me of my hard earned items for weeks was too much. At least for me at age 14.
