I thought this thread would be funny.
To start out:
Nothing more humiliating than being forced to choke yourself by Narsrim and then dying to it + song passives + bard stuff. Easily top 10 most humiliating deaths in my career." -Shuyin
I have a many but the most memorable ones include:
Narsrim killing me above the Master Ravenwood in Etherglom. He literally ganked me at my own nexus.
Losing demigod during a solo etherwilde raid.
@Silvanus ganking me on ethereal and dying to crotamine.

There's also the time when I kept trying to split up a group of Serens in Faethorn on my own, which I was usually successful at doing so in order pick them off individually. They had a combo down of stagstomp, pinleg w/sleep, among other things that lead to my death each time (at least seven) and I kept getting frustrated and going back to try to get it to work. (It eventually did)
I've learned to just tell myself to stfu when I get impatient or frustrated.
Edit: @Sylandra: That... was probably me. I tended to lurk around Serenwilde a lot as a Dreamweaver while eavesdropping and dreamtalking to people. People sometimes thought I was a God. There was a newbie who thought I was because someone said it was Nienla and they thought, because of my laurel scroll, that I was a divinity. (This was before the TIP that tells you about the artifact).
The fact that Nienla subconsciously tormented your character on a mental level for years is slightly amusing to me and I don't mean that in a negative, demeaning way. She succeeded in tormenting and teasing the little Seren forestals and went for the LONG KILL. Night would be so proud.
Actually, I dreamspoke to little Serens all the time and just genuinely enjoyed it. It was one fun aspect of being a nuisance without exactly having to solo raid or force people to necessarily respond to me.
I was so flustered by his sudden presence that I basically blurted out, "No way, I dunno where you heard that."
And he was like, "Oh. Alright."
And then he stood there.
And nobody said anything.
And then after an eternity of abyssal night, he finally left.
Incidentally, this is the main reason why Talan is generally not affectionate, and has always believed that Nocht hates her.
Vive l'apostrophe!
Spend all types of effort to wrangle up a bunch of people for an aetherhunt. Get out to the places near the Void, get a shockwave down... And immediately get killed because I didn't want to wait to put down another.
All that effort goes to waste. Sigh...

Autoealked to the Seren portals as Tark on another character's profile. Ate a death for that. Have autowalked into theirnnexus so many times it isn't funny.

this was shortly after the whole ordeal with our two families went down and Ollie was up on astral linking, overlinked and was about to die so Munsia, headed on up there to save him. Unfortunately for him, she tracked to him to save him and a goat came in, she killed him instead of the goat!
So.. technically she did save him from the goat! She was so embarrassed though she made that mistake XD we were all cracking up about it (except Ollie)
1. Recent: Died to a maggot. A skilled maggot! But a maggot.
2. Got cocky when I saw a small-fighter pass out from hunger and started a chasm, didnt think they would use an old shadowdancer move unseen usually (and I didnt have highlighted ). Only later realized Chasm had stopped, but was too late and got toaded.
3. Any time I ever fell for a Moondancer sleep/succumb strategy...
4. There was a flare, and we needed the big Mag ship; CoE, but it was on Elemental, so I tried to fly it to prime in order to then jump to the bubble...but I had no idea how fricken slow big ships were. It didnt help that elemental creatures spawned also slowed it down even more....so I gave up and left the ship floating out there somewhere. It took it around 20 mins or so until it exploded. I dont think @Arimisia would ever trust me with her ship again after that :P
Or the time I filed a bug for the Hifarae Hills quest because I didn't think to LOOK IN VASE, and was convinced that the quest was broken and unsolvable.
I'm sure there are plenty more, as I seem to vaguely remember a number of times where I was being guided by an NPC to do something and COMPLETELY missed the hints and clues.
I transmigrated. I was now flying but no longer had an owl familiar. Thus, no more wings. I fell out of the sky. My badly self-made auto-hit-it then proceeded to hit another manticore, that killed me.
I suddenly realised that everyone with deathsight had just seen me die three in quick succession to a manticore. At which point, I declared Qistrel a pacifist and decided to work out how this influencing thing was done.
This story does have a happy ending though. I got so good at influencing, that once Lendren and I won Ptoma entirely by ourselves.
Qistrel is still a pacifist.
