My first comedy CONCORD loss was, unfurtunately, a little bit bigger.
I was in a gang in Amarr space. We had set a bait-trap for a WT gang in the next system; we had an alliance-mate in a well-tanked Abbadon jump into their camp, get aggresed, and we were all supposed to come in from another gate and stomp them. About half of us had remote reps fit so we could keep our bait from getting popped. It was a perfect plan; we had the numbers, the element of surprise, and game mechanics on our side.
Well, perfect until you put your point on your bait ship instead of a remote rep.
Since he was only an alliance member, not in my corp, and we were in hiSec, my Megathron got CONCORDed. It was my first, and for a long time only, battleship loss.
We still won the fight, but our losses were heavier than they would have been had I not been a noob.

Ho well, I lost me a dominix last week in a lvl 4 mission. Wasn't watching my tank close enough, suddenly I go "wow, my armor is really going down fast!!  Wait that not's armor I'm in structAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!".
How's that for epic fail?

Just joined a new corp, they have a HQ in a part of eve I haven't been to before. So I went exploring, one system was low sec the other was 0.6. Jumped into the 0.6 and the navy was there, they tried to pew pew my piratey ass, yet I lived \o/
But yeah we all make mistakes, but in retrospect it is funny as hell

Then I checked the combat log and discovered I'd been killed by the Gallente Navy. I'd been hunting in 0.6 space.
Now THAT is a punchline!

Nice story Uncommon.
If you're interested in learning piracy together with other apprentice pirates, just contact me in game. The Black Rabbits Academy is opening again and you definitely bring the right mindset.
In any case good luck!

I always wondered after I became flashy red, or before that even..
Why is there only a warning when entering .4 and below space? I want a warning when Im about to enter highsec.

The problem is that you will turn it off when you travel through hisec in a small ship or pod.

Very good read. 
Look on the bright side though - you probably will never do that again. At least you only lost a t1 frig and not something bigger. It's all part of the learning experience.

lawl! thats awesome
Yeah I was curious and I mounted that crappy autocannon you get as a Minmatar rookie onto my frig, exited the station, and locked onto my buddy (IRL he was sitting right next to me). A click later my ship spontaneously combusted and he said it was the funniest thing he had seen lol!

Good read.
First day I got a SB I went into Low sec (Im an High sec War Dec griefer normaly), and just sat near a belt with reasonable ore in a system not often patroled by the local pirate corp (mean).
Sure enough after a short time a "miner" turns up to ... well mine. (And Im not going to call him a carebear, cos hes at least got the eggs to go to low sec). I close in on him, uncloak lock and open up. Not much of a fight, but I fillup my cargo bay with his fittings and take some ore just to fill the space. And warp to the gate to get back to Empire....
Boom

Been there, done that :) More than once I might add. It happens to us all, just be thankful you weren't in something expensive (like a vagabond  ). And in agreement with most of the other replies, good read :)

Heh, we've all done stupid things. For me it was when I got into stealth bombers. Cloaking ships ftw. I got into one, killed a few rats in an asteroid belt in Tash-Murkon Prime, and then cloaked a bit away so I could decloak when some hapless wreckthief came to loot my wrecks. And after a while someone did come! A punisher approached my wrecks, took from them, and was flashy red. I decloaked, target, fired - and bam!
I shot a hulk's can and got a visit from Concord.

Great read, though I still think I deserve the Darwin Award for my truly epic failure...
Back in my early days, when I had just learned to fly a rupture, I was flying around in lowsec killing rats, and suddenly another cruiser enters the belt. I was still a kind soul back then so I didn't think he would kill me without any reasons... Well, I ended up being in a pod...
Weeks later, I was running around in highsec, cause I was still scared to go into lowsec, and I come across the same dude, this time in a hauler, and I still had kill rights on him, so I quickly dock and fit my rupture for pvp and he's still there. I get a lock on him and just as I click my point, I get blown to pieces... I missed the kill right by seconds
