...left a station without accepting the mission?

...left a station without taking the cargo?

...made more than 20 hops without the cargo?

...been stuck on a structure at the worse possible moment?

...made a mad dash for Jita with most of your wealth in cargo only to see the buy order get filled as you are docking. Then - spend the next day battling penny by penny to sell the stuff?

...hit the right combo of keys perfectly a million times in a row until the moment it really matters and then flub it?

...get startled by the warning message that says another player is about to get shot at by the popo?

...left your drones?

...left your drones and not realize it until you returned to salvage and then said "Hi Friend " in a Deadmau5 kinda way?

...find out that you are Leroy Jenkins and the rest of your group is facepalming?

What are some of the things you do that make you facepalm in Eve?

I was shopping for a BPC set to make an orca

I note the MEs and put the numbers into my sheets, left me with 120% in minerals, I sold the 20% extra to help afford the BPC pack, took off to amarr to get it, got to domain and it was gone, found another in Jita for slightly less but with different ME's, I was left with roughly a 1% deficit on all my minerals.

I spent so much time in a wormhole that I forgot about security status. undocked from a station just to open fire on some hapless fool.

Catching a newb in lowsec, starting a friendly convo, learning him a thing or two about scrams and webs (no damage involved), and warping off to a planet. I somehow misclicked and warped to the station, getting my Republic Fleet Firetail popped by the sentry guns due to GCC. Derp! Big smile

Wait hold on you found a newbie in low-sec and DIDN'T blow his ship up on the spot.....you sir must be the only gentlemen roaming low sec....cause that's how I learnt about web scram, webbers and the time it takes for my frigates to explode

Shitposts so bad CONCORD gave me a 50 billion ISK bounty

That's cool. Not the getting popped at the station but webbing a n00b and making them listen to a lesson. Pretty funny!

Now I am picturing some char with a long bearded avatar flying around webbing and scramming every noob, and forcing them to listen to a story from the "good old days", upon threat of ship destruction.

Taking the pod express without an up-to-date clone. I still don't know what skills I lost points from

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

I recently have a habit of clicking the leave station button when I want to exit the game. Fortunately, the habit doesn't leave me in space as it's pretty clear it doesn't close the client and log you out.

^ I've hit the jump button instead of the warp a couple of times since the change where the jump button warps and jumps you. I ended up apologizing to my FC a couple of times, luckily every time it has happened was on gates where jumping didn't matter.

CNN Breaking News.

Today a man was found beaten to death in his computer room. Police investigation has so far turned up no suspects in the brutal slaying and no sign of forced entry.

Statements from friends hours before the fatal assault said that he was "Going home to read the first few pages of F and I." We have yet to ascertain what exactly that means.

If you have any information please call the toll free tip line plastered on the banner.
