I get the feeling it would be substantially dumber to die while still in high sec, tbh.

Watching your tank collapse, webbed and scrammed by drones... Over-aggro kills another Tengu. ShockedOops

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Decloaking a falcon and jamming a station when you are already outnumbered quite a bit.
Also, not something I do but see it a lot, going afk 200km or so off a gate/station.

True but if you're afraid to die then leaving High is also not bright. :P

I once lost a Battleship I had bought the same day to a guy in a thorax cruiser. It was from that stupid 0m always miss bug, but I was still a stupid newb for not knowing what i was doing at the time.

I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.

After a night of drinking heavily and using your rather expensive implant set to chase down nano-frigates... you select "warp to station" rather than "dock" and pass out on your keyboard.

In a flimsy destroyer.

In the middle of a "hot" warzone.

With a "blinky" neutral undocking and docking at said station asking for a 1v1 in local.

How did you Veterans start?

3am, transiting Nul in a bomber with BPOs on-board. Wake up to find yourself in a station with a nice note from your insurance company.

Stealing loot from a hauler wreck in Hi Sec!

There was loads of it, I clicked loot all giggling.

I think there was an "Are you sure, you are about to do something stupid box" Which I ignored, still giggling.

Popped by gate guns.

Concord don't do drugs, or slaves apparently.

Burn 250km off gate to create off gate bookmark. Than stupidly right-clicking the gate and then selecting save location and calling it 250KM off gate. Later, warp to a point 250KM off in cloaky to look for enemy... landing in the middle of them... And, while youare reporting to the fleet the enemy ship composition, not noticing that you are on gate, uncloaked, and... oh.... back in station.

Later, I warped to the bookmark again, and sure enough it was on gate (no bad guys in system when I tried again).

Hmmm... how did I mess up the name of that bookmark?

I didn't realize what I'd done until next time I was out creating bookmarks and almost did the same thing. On about the 100th bookmark, I caught myself clicking the save location on the gate rather than in persons&places... and then it dawned on me.. hmmm... must have done that with that one other BM.

All it takes is 1 mess up out of 100 times doing something.. and pop, pod, tens of millions of ISK gone.

Be the only one in your fleet to undock in a t2 or faction ship, especially in RvB.

Get overwhelmed in a plex and neuted.

MWD + Launch Bomb instead of MWD + Cloak.

Edit: Heh, beaten to the punch. Make sure your cloak and bomb hotkeys aren't adjacent to each other, folks!

Edit edit: Loot a mission runner wreck just out of docking range in a noctis.

Trusting your overview and turning "safety off" when you have 5-10 wars starting and ending every hour while camping Jita 4-4 on undock.
