Share stories of silly mistakes you've made that have lead to your death.
---
Today I died. I had been grinding for a while and had accrued 150k Min LP. I spent a good few hours going through fuzzwork and EVE-Central to find the items which gave the best LP:ISK ratio. I even started making spreadsheets. Eventually I settled on my items, bought them, and started making my way to Jita. I had about half a billion ISK worth of items in my cargo, which is a lot for me. Finally I entered Caldari space, whereupon I was greeted with this message:
Message wrote:Dravos Tarimus: You have entered Caldari space. Since you have proven to be an enemy to our people, you will be terminated! Panic mode engaged
I try to warp off somewhere so I can come back and leave the system, but I wasn't able to get away before I was scrammed. I activate my feeble MASB which can only delay the inevitable. Then I am popped, half a billion ISK gone.
I hadn't realised I, a MFW fighter, couldn't enter Caldari space; I thought it was only Amarr space that I couldn't enter!
Whoops
Here's the killmail

Back when I was in FW the wormhole features were added to the game. I went into a wormhole with a few other ships and without my own probes (that was the last time going without probes BTW) and my only choice to get back into K-space was a wormhole that put be 26 jumps deep into enemy empire space.
In a Cyclone.
Lucky me I started playing before WTZ and had a lot of maneuvering skills. I survived the trip.
But yeah to the OP: first rule is "don't panic" it's just facpo. FW players and gankers get around them almost all of the time.
Here's a silly death for you: I died 15KM getting podded off a gate because WTZ was introduced while I was taking a break from the game and didn't know about it.

I've had a few silly losses in my time, but the one that takes the cake was when I lost a ship to POS guns in an empty system. More details here.

Yea I did that too... only with a freighter, had some weekend fun and my sec was -2.1 or something and lets just say the police in amarr didn't like it.
I've lost a few ships while running burner missions and trying to watch hockey. Anything else and I can play fine, but hockey makes me lose ships.
probably my dumbest pvp loss was when I was taking some potshots at a gang and was "aligned" out. well they warped on me and I clicked the button to warp out and either I was not aligned or I clicked the wrong bookmark.

Similar happened to me on Thursday:
https://zkillboard.com/kill/62196664/
LOL mode engaged for me, because I knew how stupid I was.
I once feel asleep in an Ishtar running an 8/10 site in Syndicate (I struggle to stay awake with PVE). I woke up about 4 hours later, still in space and thought how funny it was that no one had scanned the site down. Also thought it was funny that there were still rats present. Warped away docked and then realised I was in my pod. I'd been killed by the rats in my sleep and wasn't awake enough to realise what had happened. |

Uhh... most of eve deaths are silly. Putting suicide attempts (drunk pvp) and blob fights aside, here are some of mine:
- Fell asleep on my keyboard and got hotdropped by a Sin. He convo me the next day and apologized. Apparently he was very bored and went 20 jumps just to drop on my t1 trash ship. - Activated MJD in the last pocket of a 10/10. Got 1-shot by the torpedo and sat there for few minutes in a pod, rethinking my life - Forgot jump fuel - Warped to a random moon in a WH in a non-cloaky, using "salvage" tab, and proceeded to make coffee. Apparently the POS occupying the same grid was not very happy about it. - Jumped into HS with criminal status. There was more idiots like me. We lost 1-2 bil to concord and maybe 50 mil to the enemy that day. I hate HS. - Tackled someone in low sec in an interceptor, got very happy as we were chasing that guy for several jumps, and got blapped by sentry guns in 2 seconds. - Started ratting in a Naga using some derpy fit I found on battleclinic. All was fine until I got webbed and some frigates got under my guns. It was a slow death. |

Yeah I lost a SB while trying to bomb a camp because I got my align screwed up. It was so dumb I just waited to get podded.
You see, OP? You are not the only one. But everybody is having a good time at it.

For me, I've had three silly deaths due to goofing up. One to a drifter battleship - should have used a passive targeter. (Why am I sitting in a pod?) One in low, I thought I was D-Scanning... but I'd accidentally selected a chat box. (playing when tired) One when I took on some sleepers without knowing what they were like. |

Back when I first started, I thought smartbombs were God's gift to miners. So I loaded one on my Badger II along with my mining laser and ran it while loading up the hold for hours on end.
I lost three Badgers to Concord before I figured out smartbombs in high sec wasn't a good idea.

Why what a coincidence. Today, I decided to splurge a bit on a hookbill and put a dedspace ab on it. So how did it die? ******* lag causing me to not warp off, then the same hitching lag causing my afterburner to not activate, allowing the daredevil to leisurely slowboat up to me and just inject void rounds into my butthole. The worst part was the daredevil pilot probably thinks he's elite or something because he caught me after about a half dozen attempts over the course of several hours to get me. ******* fuckitty ****.
Well that's out of my system. I'm so glad you made this thread. |

That was in 2010 or 2011... I was living in Drone Lands and mainly doing 10/10s i bought from other players. Was using 3 alts: tanking tengu, DPS from Rattlesnake (maybe) and Nightmare.
Usually i was warping with the tengu, get all agro and then orbit something and kill all the stuff with other characters.
But once i've afked with my drones was set on 'aggressive'. And.... drones then killed anchor of the tengu, tengu moved away from the area and lost it's capacitor, then died. NPC switched damage to DPS dealers.... I returned just in time to warp to safe some of them....

Once I bought a mid-grade slave set. Thought it's gonna be ok - I did a lot of explo, and I never once lost my probes. Or maybe once. So I arrived home from Jita in a shiney new 'ceptor. 'Ceptor fleet is gathering, how cool - I only need to change a few things from travel-fit. Before the first jump I realize that I have my precious head with me. I make a mental note to be extra-risk averse, and to save my pod. Zero problem, I practiced this. I fight outside of bubbles, and the pod easily gets to a safe before anyone could lock it.
Yay I'm good. So I just sefl-destruct back to home.
*rolling a cigarette*
"Fork, my precious head!" I was even reaching for the ABORT SELF DESTRUCT button when I lost my first set of implants.
Since then I only use cheap DPS augments if the FC is handing out sets.

Lost a Primae the day they were given to players to an insta-point Heavy Dictor in low-sec when I forgot to adjust my autopilot settings to exclude low-sec systems.
EDIT: Also lost an Interbus Shuttle from waaaay back when there was a physical copy of Eve Online in Wal-mart, but I can't remember the details as to how.

Drinking/smoking on my balcony, arguing US election politics on teh internets with my remote tablet, whilst lazily flying my loot fat Cheetah alt back through LS after an extended NS voyage.
Switched back just in time to see my cloak drop on gate, surrounded, panicked, ran inside and tripped slamming my forehead hard on the stairs.
Made it to my PC just in-time to get my pod out. Probably incurred a concussion, but atleast I saved my implants.

Ive seen EVE players streaming on Twitch pass out at their battlestation or crawl into bed, and even puke on their keyboard and disappear offscreen whilst their ships get wrecked.

Was transporting quite a lot of ISK in an industrial. I had to go through a lowsec system before making it to the highsec beyond that. I had multispectrum jammers in all my mids, thinking if anyone jumped me at a gate there's no way I'm gonna tank anything in perpetuity, but maybe I could jam and get away.
Jumped into the lowsec system, and see a camper sitting off the gate. Thought "Crap! Okay, try to MWD-align, then hit him with all your jammers, and keep fingers crossed." Aligned, hit him with jammers, then got some message about being an enemy, gate guns attacked me, and I exploded.
Apparently, I had accidentally put burst jammers in my mids, and I aggressed the gate and the gate guns.
Also, I once had pretty much the exact situation as above, except my error there was that I had not actually jumped into lowsec like I thought I did (if you aren't careful, being one jump away from lowsec looks like you are already in lowsec in the waypoints). So I hit some poor guy with jammers in highsec, and CONCORD came to the rescue. |

Always go with your instincts. Every time I've lost a ship it was because I didn't listen to myself.
Wait, there was that one time I cyno'd my carrier solo onto an enemy death star blind drunk and that was definitely my alt's fault.
