Come then you lot, Confess. Wots the dumbest thing you have ever done?
Heres mine to start you off.
Me and two corp mates who were new to the game flying around a 0.4 ratting. Nooby corp m8's say, 'I am bored of this lets shoot a real person'. Me says 'well I have a good sec rating and dont really want to shoot just anyone but hey I will take a hit, but dont pod them just do the ship.' So off we go in search of prey. We didnt have to wait long till we found a Celestis merrily mining away at a belt. Of course we all were showing as friendly to him. I was in my tech II fitted enyo the 2 noobs were in thorax's. So we all engaged and just as he's gtting to structure the Celestis gets to warp toward the gate (no scrams fitted). This is where I still shudder at the stupidity of what I did next! OMG I am going to confess to the whole eve community.
I shouts as loud as I could "quick he's gone to the gate, CHASE HIM......" hmmmmm as I enter warp and watch the pretty graphic a very cold shiver runs down my spine. I drop out of warp, yes you guessed it, the gate guns pwn me and the others drop out of warp and the guns then take them out......
Soooo....... we then sit there for a few minutes all thinking the same thing..... DUMUS YOU ******g T***... bleeeeeeepp bleeeppp
Mr Celestis chuckles his way to the gate.....
Dont laugh.... I can hear you.... STOP IT!!!

I once lost a uninsured megathron too 1x 5k and 1x 7.5k serpentis npcs (or something similiarly insanely weak, went afk for a while due to a sort of emergency and let my battleship sit in a belt with booster etc. running cause I expected to be right back and it was in a 0.8 system but the afk took a bit longer then expected and from the log it took those 3 npcs something like 15minutes to blow me up, but blow me up they did.

I was running a couple missions in Stacmon, getting my rating up with the agent to eventually get lvl3 missions in that area. I was in my Ishkur and I got a little bored. So I undocked and headed for the belts in search of some prey and prey I do find, a nice Covetor. I hit AB, scramble, release drones and go for the kill/ransom.
All of a sudden... "You have been targetted by concord"... *POP*
Wtf?!? I was so used to seeing the "0.4" of OST (short name for the low sec system next to Stacmon) where I had been doing all the missions, I assumed I was still in a low sec system. Had a good chuckle about that one.

Well, just last night I went for a bio break while my Taranis was parked next to same gate rats. Obviously I came back just in time to see the 3 red arches.
I did actually attempt piracy in my early months of EVE, by warp scrambling a hauler on a gate in 0.4 space. Before I could warp out I had the "ship is out of control" message, and the sentry guns popped my Thorax. I was lucky enough to be able to sit there in my pod and watch the hauler pick up my medium diminishing nos and named rail guns.

I wanted to mess around doing level 2 missions, so I bought a Firetail and put some of my faction mods on it:
Firetail (90m)
Gistii SB (65m)
Gistii AB (20m)
Fleeting Web (10m)
Domination Gyro x3 (300m)
Went to a belt to test it. Was a guy there in a destroyer. I misclicked a weapon button, and randomly, left clicked him in space as he was *right* next to my button where my camera was looking.
By the time I realised what had happened, I'd been concordokkened.

I dunno if this is a dumb thing. But I was heading out of 0.0 space in an Itty 3 with just nanofibs in the lows when I ran into a gate camp of about 10 people (i had come throught he gate so i had to align to the next one, instead of an insta saving me on the way in, which would have been better) and had 2 interceptors (I belive) chasing me for about 5-6 gates...at that point THE SERVER DIES. Im not sure exactly how i was expecting to make it away...but WTF? the whole node i was on crashed while im having the time of my life running like a madman.

Well i hadn't been podded in 2 years, back when M0o used to camp aunenen, and I was new.
But last nite I was flying home in a pod after dropping a ship off in 0.0, and on my LAST gate from home I was chattn in corp while flipping back and forth to local when..
Ioctl and a corp mate of his had a bubble set up at the last gate before 0.1. I flipped back to local just as my pod warped, and ran smack dab into it....
"Complacency is the pod killer...." 
No implants lost (thank god for jump clones) but it showed me you should never let your guard down, even after 2 years...
Ever.

Well I've pulled some real beauties in the just over 2 years I've been playing Eve. But the thing that really stands out in my mind is I was doing some ratting in my Raven, there was no challenge in the ratting I was simply getting ISK into my wallet hence I think I was starting to get complacent, I had this idea in my head I was at a safespot so I started to check my bank balance on the net etc etc, when I looked back at Eve I'm sat in a belt in a pod with 2 Guristas cruisers floating around me, seems I'd forgotten I'd warped to a belt. Bad mistake that was, but guess which dumb git went and did the same thing 3 days later?? Yup! Learnt my lesson after 2 Ravens tho

I think I am still wining in the D.A.F. Stakes. I managed to get my entire corp blown up.

Had a prophecy once. Waaaaay too early in game. Flew around in it for 5 minutes, then decided to scan an npc hauler at a station to see what he was carrying. Slipped and hit the gun instead... Exit prophecy
Haven't flown anything bigger then a cruiser since, just couldn't afford it and didn't want it yet.

Took my nice shiny new cyclone, my first ever one, out into 0.0 to do some mining so I could insure it. Filled my hold with ore, and was flying back to the gate when some guy in a zealot jumps me. That was not a happy night

I tend to lose ships when playing half asleep and make stupid mistakes like forgetting to turn on hardeners/repairers.
So far I'm at 2xApoc and 1xDominix
But I'm happy to say I learned my lesson and nowadays I close EVE and go to bed the moment I feel sleepy.

I lost a Domi, a mega, and a thorax in one day. Last week, in fact. We're in the middle of an alliance war, and I decide to run a mission in my Domi while it's 'quiet'. Nothing in system, so off I go to the next system along... smack into 6 unfriendlies who look like they're about to jump into the system I've just left. I wait a sec till they're all close to the gate before moving off. Next thing I know I've got a faceful of red overview. Lovely. Lost the mega in the exact same way, at the same damn gate, about an hour later.
No complaints, at least they weren't laughing at me in local :)

I lost my very first ship Saturday. After over 2 months of playing EVE, I felt comfortable doing level 3 missions even though I had to warp out on a few. I always managed to warp out in time.
I was taking heavy fire from 3 Thoraxs in Illegal Activity and I couldn't keep up with the damage. I recalled my drones and aligned for warp. 30 seconds later and still no drones. "Oh yeah. I know how to get those drones back. Approach them!" 5 seconds after my ship turned to approach the drones I realized the stupidity of what I had done. By the time I was able to realign for warp my Brutix was a memory.
- The good news is that I managed to pick up all my drones!
- The bad news is that the drones were destroyed with the ship.
Note to self: Leave the drones behind.
My fault. No blaming lag, overpowered missions or the irritating drone AI. My fault and my fault alone.

I once forgot to turn on my armor reps on my apoc, killed in 0.3 by 2 sansha frigates all while browsing the forums. Never notoiced the damage indicators while moving ore into acan every 60 secs

waaaay back when I was first playing.
it was a late night I was falling asleep and my corp had just done a monster mining session (Yes... I hold my had up I was a carebear when I began this game)
Back to station and I needed to jump out of my rupture and get to another station to pick up my other rupture that wasnt kitted to mine. Sooooo I jump on market, go for the first shuttle click buy about one millisecond before I realised the shuttle was on for 9mil not 9thou.
empty wallet.

I pulled a ginger bird at my work's xmas party, and the girl I like (not the ginge) wasn't happy at all 
Also, because I had friends over, sleeping downstairs and in the spare room, the talk of my workplace for the past couple of weeks has been my prowess and stamina in the bedroom. Probably not a good thing for a manager to do  |

I once bought about 100m worth of T2 modules, and then set autopilot back home and promptly fell asleep. Home, at the time, was .4 system, and I awoke to the sound of my uninsured Raven getting blown up by a local pirate...

I'm still a bit of a newbie, so I should have done quite a few embarassing things by now... erm. 
On my first trek into 0.4 space I warped into a belt to do some ratting. Some poor sod warped out as I warped in - guess my name suggested I had other things on my mind - so I did the decent thing and told him in local I was set up for PVE, not PVP. He warps back in, that's the end of that Caracal. 
I also got a bit carried away checking the market details on a nice named mod I'd picked up during a mission, and didn't notice the NPC cruiser that had spawned next to my untanked loot collector account. What's that sound? Warped out on 8% structure, after racing to put the nanoexpanders offline.

Heres a good un
arsing about with a corp mate shooting concord drones in an ibis for a laugh eventually got bored docked in my pod and jumped into my cerberus to head back to my home system. Undocked totally forgetting about the 15min agression flag
BOOM
bye bye cerb, 3x bcu2's, 2x small gistii boosters, full rack of arbalast heavy launchers
I moped for about 2 weeks after that and everyone in corp still makes fun of me

few months back, went AFK while autopiloting (been drinking) on the way back from helping a friend. Forgot i had to go through low sec to get there.
Walked back into the room, and found myself under attack by 4 MAFIA battleships at a gate. No hardeners on, half shields
i turned my hards and booster on, and flew straight at the gate. I got and jumped out there before my tank broke
i found this so ******* hilarious i jumped straight back through, to let them have a second shot. i then did the same, and sat on the gate shooting at whoever had the sentries on them, till they warped off. When my tank got low, i jumped again, and continued on my merry way
I've never seen a more incompetant gatecamp in my life

I have lost a few feroxes on LVL 3 missions by going in, warping out on low stucture, repairing and then thinking I could finish off the NPC's. On a good day I can, on a stupid day I have no chance.
Lost my prophecy when I had a mining set up in low sec. No-one told me the gate was camped on the other side and I was laggy toast as I was gangged by many bad men.
Lost my Apoc in low sec by hanging about when there was a fleet of enemies around. Don't know why the hell I didn't warp out and I didn't have and WCS as usual. Anyhoos I was gang raped...didn't like it anyway
Accidentally put a run for 100,000 trops instead of 10K
Got my mammoth busted a year ago when I was carrying everything I owned to another station whilst at war. Never move anything around when at war.
and many more besides

Mining in a nice friendly .1 system in my Brutix, rat I was tanking had me down to 25% armour. Rather than warp out, I wanted to keep the lasers running so I called on the friendly ratting community in local: "Tanking rats in V-II and running out of armour can someone help me pls".
It was only after I had sent my message that I noticed all the pirate names in local chat. As you can imagine they didn't have much trouble finding and killing me.
