Watched thekiller8 (drunk at the time) reprocess a Raven Navy Issue in the same station as me without asking him for stuff, back in 2005/6.

Last night damage got down to the hull in a Level 4 mission until I realised I had forgot to turn on my shields.

Thought I had enough time after undocking to warp an Orca full of bpo's, faction ships and gift shuttles and zephyr's to be able to warp away from the faction police who didn't like my standings. Boom. Was nice to see that the orca wreck looks like an orca though.

My worst was also, unsurprisingly, my first "PvP" experience.
The time had come. Time to man up. Time to put something on the line. Time to figure out what stern stuff I was made of.
At that particular point in my EVE career, "stern stuff" wasn't much, ammounting to just enough courage to seek out a defenseless miner with my severely underdeveloped sense of honor and preying on them mercilessly (until someone showed up--at which point I'd warp the heck outta there).
I dusted off my favorite ship at the time--I believe it was a Punisher--and rechristened it as the Hubris III before undocking. t was packed to the gills (I'd filled EVERY SLOT!) with modules I'd gotten from missions. There was no regard for tactical fitting. No need to adhere to the so-called natural "bonuses" of the vessel. This was the Hubris III people! (Hubris I and II were imagined prototypes)
I had some time on my hands so I flew around a bit, eventually and miraculously making it deep into 0.0 unharmed. That first "low sec" warning was a real pulse-pounder. It took me several minutes to decide jump beyond it.
After going through a dozen or so systems and probably 50 belts, I finally found my prey. Tasty.
Bzzzt bzzzzt. Bzzzt bzzzzt. The mining lasers so rythmically regular. So soothing. Their pilot alluringly vulnerable.
Approach. Our ships collided. He didn't react. Must be AFK! I type in local.
"Hello?"
Bzzzt bzzzzt.
I grew bolder, establishing a lock.
Bzzzt bzzzzt.
I check my weapons. Everything looks like it is loaded properly. Flip on my Civvy shields. (Yeah you heard that right)
Bzzzt bzzzzt.
"SURRENDER OR IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!" was the warning I issued IN CAPS for emphasis from my pod aboard the Hubris III.
The reply was patient and unexpected.
Bzzzt bzzzzt.
DONKEY KONG ensued. Well, sorta.
The shields on the Hulk I was facing moved maybe 1-2% thanks to my inability to understand range, ammo type, resistances etc.
Being enamored with EVE's graphics, I had already trained my camera on my victim in anticipation of seeing the explosion of my first kill.
Bzzzt bzzzzt. Bzzzt bzzzzt.
After about ten seconds, the Hulk pilot actually oriented his ship towards me, as if formally addressing me. A reply came through in local.
What are you doing?
"Killing you, that's what!" (Oooh yeah. Good line Manifest!)
Bzzzt bzzzzt. Bzzzt bzzzzt.
...And then five drones popped out and headed towards me.
Now, I'm not sure if everyone reacts the same way I did the first time they have drones trained on them. Well, I hadn't ever used a drone, so these little, fast moving icons were perplexing, and, frankly, horrifying when I saw what they were doing to my shields.
I freaked right the junk out. I experienced the full paralysis of noob PvP combat--searching for the "escape button" but then realizing I still needed to align, and that something to align to was several seconds away from being clicked thanks to the way I'd set up my overview. Some quick, frantic calculations versus the rate my shields were going down and I was frozen in time.
Soon after I got my explosion. Hubris III down for the count.
Never seen a pod before, but it sure looked fragile.
Bzzzt bzzzzt. Bzzzt bzzzzt.
Learned your lesson? came over local chat.
"Yeah, my bad." (Not quite the epic one-liner Manifest...)
Not coming back?
"Nope. Have a nice day. I'll be going back to my station now."
Fly safer.
Bzzzt bzzzzt. Bzzzt bzzzzt.

Second worst EVE Blunder?
As Obama was taking the podium during the inauguration, I was in-warp to a lvl 4 in my prized Abaddon.
Howeverlonglater, when I remembered I had been playing EVE, I returned to my laptop and my pod, an instant reminder that if you are going to tank a mission with the sound off, you should at least turn on your armor hardeners. Up until that point, I thought that politics and EVE mixed well. I guess I'm doing it wrong.

Was mining in a tempest (pulled more ore than a retriever) and got flipped by a t2 frig. Engaged him and lost the ship. I had drones, but the drones got attacked by NPC's and died. Had the guy down to 30% hull before I died.
Started training t2 drones that day.

A few weeks ago I got an email from CCP informing me of 5 free days of account activation for my spare inactive account. I made use if it and was happy, training up a hauling alt.
Then last Friday I got a similar email, just as that account was to expire again. I tried to make use of it ... FAIL!
It was a email phishing scam, and due to using the same password they got access to all my accounts and email (also FAIL there by me, fixed now though). Well I am now 5 bil isk poorer and still waiting for replies from CCP regarding my petitions. (Anyone know which category they should be filed on to ask for isk to be given back and how long it takes?)
I just wish my worst EVE blunder was due to in-game actions, and did not involve account hacking.

Several years ago on another account ive had since 03, an old fiend who started in 03 came back and convoed me, i was whorring lvl4's at the time and invited him to join me so he could see what eve had become.
That day i had bought an 8.5km officer smartbomb for ease of killing frigates and interceptors in missions, My friend shows up in local and i get into a gang, as he shows up at the mission i say in gang chat to watch his range to me so my smartbombs dont hurt him
As concord showed up his reply in gang chat was, 'Whats a smartbomb?'

You didn't get hacked you gave out your password. Big Difference.

I was in my Guardian and a random person asked me to rep them, so I did. They shot me and the got Concord'd, then so did I for assisting a criminal.

Thank you for clearing up my use of terminology. Hacking seems to mean modifying computer code.
But they did take the CCP website code (the HTML part) and modify it to do something else.
Should have used the word phishing again in my last sentence, is that correct?
Yes I did unwittingly give them my password, but I doubt I was the only one to fall for this. I just hope this is not an accepted or intended game play mechanic.

So many blunders, not sure which one is the worst...but my favorite one is when I was only 10 days old, I joyfully found my first wormhole... entered it in my Catalyst, did not recover my probes before I jumped, and didn't bookmark the wh from inside. A remarkably kind (and easily amused by my situation) person in the WH's local chat fleeted me and safely led me to the exit, no doubt laughing the whole way :)

Coming home blind drunk after watching United get beat by Roma, jumping onto ventrilo, mouthing off to my corpmates for a half hour about cheating jackbooted Italians and how we should have finished the job in WW2, and then proceeding to buy a Deimos and see how far I could get into Cloud Ring. Promptly jumped through a gate into 100+ ships, and proceeded to attack the nearest EWAR ship.
There is, I've been told, an hour long recording of this from Ventrilo, featuring such phrases as "this rum isn't rum enough", but I've yet to hear it. I don't think I could.

My worst Eve blunder?
Well I have been playing for a long time, love this game and I suspended my account to play Star Trek Online... that was my worst Eve blunder ever!
Account is reactivated and I'm never leaving again! When dealing with the mess of STO it becomes very clear how much CCP cares about this game and their customers, thanks guys!
