You haven't graduated from the noob academy until you've done a classic noob mistake like accepting a really long courier agent mission, get to your destination, and realize you forgot to put the package in your ship's cargo hold. 
I did that yesterday... 
That and piling into a lvl4 mission and just firing on the first thing that I saw...

hmm what have i done.... well
I lost a zealot on it's maiden voyage. To cruiser NPCs in a complex (I was scrambled! ... )
I lost (somebody else's) crusader on its first flight after I took on a punisher and lost (though the nice guy let me go...), then warped to a gate.
Edit: and I get it ripped out of me every day about this.
Lost my taranis to a cormorant (a well-piloted cormorant, at that (forgetting to check pilot info ftl (A 2-year old character in a cormorant is not a 'n00b'))); I saw a cormorant following me, and I thought "HAH! A ****y destroyer Vs my uber 'ceptor!". Bye-bye brand-new taranis. 
Most of these reasonably recently, unfortunately

Probably the most common story which is travelling AFK through low sec.
Another funny story when I was travelling through low sec and warped to a gate. When I came out of warp I saw a Megathron being boosted by a Scorpion. Uh oh, sniper. I make an about turn and warped to another planet when my shuttle lost half of its armor.
I go "Phew, safe!" except my shuttle turned around and started to accelerate to warp back to the gate. Noticed I forgot to turn my auto-pilot off. I frantically tried to stop my shuttle but to no avail, it took off to the gate. Five seconds later it got popped by the megathron.
One more story. I like to keep my list of assets limited to a couple of stations, which means I usually trash my shuttles when I get to a ship that I bought.
So I was transporting this shiny new X5 Prototype Stasis Webifier to my brand new Arbitrator. Get in, start kitting out my Arbitrator and cleaning up my list of assets by trashing useless stuff. Well, after a while I decided to fit the last module I needed for my Arbitrator which was the X5 Prototype Stasis Webifier.
I checked my item hanger, not there, checked my Arbitrator's cargohold, it isn't there either. I then thought I left it behind and checked for my assets across the entire eveverse. I couldn't find it!
"Well," I thought to myself, "It must be in that shuttle then, now where di-oh crap, I trashed it."

The following event took place a mere 4 days ago.. so im top of the latest n00b tables
Leaving a mission before it had finished.. whilst in .4 space.
Thinking mission was over >> fast frig >> pick up remains .. whoops more cruisers 
Back into raven (minus any core stabilizers.. will become apparent in a little while ) to finish them off >> all gone .. time to get the remains 
But unfortunately some rather mean  's decided to snipe me and warp to me before i could get out of there
Bye bye raven.. i 1st thought there was something wrong with the mission ie why were there still cruisers there lol but the powers of the n00b work in strange ways .
Total costs: 1x Raven + Insurance of new raven + general losses for cargo = 40m ISK (est)
Being a n00b after playing for nearly a year..... PRICELESS
Rump Slappingly Meatylicious!

lol. I build my first raven, was out in 0.0 and went to mess around with npcs. Well I didn't have my launchers yet, so I tried out a tank setup. I put on an okay tank setup, went to a belt with around 5 cruiser and 5 frigates spawn. They started attacking and my tank was okay, but not that good. Could handle the cruisers though. Anyways, I tried to warp out but I was being scrambled. No corp mates were nearby, so alls I could do was sit there and watch my raven die over a period of 23 minutes. ahhahahah

Back when missles did splash damage and you could ram someone so hard that they spun like a top, I was fighting someone outside a station. Fired the cruise missles, the other guy hit the MWD right towards me. The cruise missles hit him, splashed station and then he rammed me setting my poor ship in a spin that it never recovered from. I was warned not to use missle near a station but NOOOO, I knew better than everyone else.

- largest mistake: quitting EVE for over a year and coming back. I should have never quit in the first place.
- mining for hours as a newbie in my Bantam, should have just done missions.
- I had just bought a Caracal and was messing around at a belt testing out the heavy missiles. My friend came over and I went AFK to talk to him, but I forgot to warp out. I still had my Ferox to fall back on, but it was the first real ship I ever lost.
- And back when it was next to impossible to find a research slot I had purchased some ammo BPOs but there were no research slots avaliable.

My noob moment.
Having mined for a week, and saved and saved, I finally got the minerals for a tempy, took delivery of said ship, and decided to go missioning on L3s... those that my lowly Cyclone had been managing....
Black Market Hub. level 2, full 1400s fitted... warp in..... yes they are all close range......
Scrambled, webbed and with no idea what a tank was with a load of heavies and 1400s..... I couldnt hit the farm never mind a barn door......
not nice waiting 5 minutes for this 100 mill ship to die.... slowly... with nothing you can do about it......

My best one was Pure noob.
Day Three: I've taken my Navastas out on a few lvl 1 missions and have begun feeling very safe in it. (mostly because the "show Info" said it was a Hard shelled frig....) So I decide it would be a good Idea to go ratting. I do a search, find a nice system a few jumps away, and set autopiolt.
A number of jumps later I am in Old Man Star...
My pod lasted 5 seconds

I have so many I hardly know where to start, even now, after 3 years I still don't know **** about Eve.
My n00biest moment was in beta though, mining Arkonor in a Repear with Basic Miner for 6 hours, hauling 5 units a time to station in the little bugger. Refined it, sold it for 0.001isk - yes, market scammers were around even then!
Another n00bie moment was when.... ahh forget it - I should write the book.

came back to the game after a few weeks and bought a Dominix, being -2.6 or something I plotted a course to meet up with the corp going around 0.6+ systems. Docked, Went out for food when I came back plotted a course to pickup a cap relay not reliseing that I had moved three jumps through to 0.7 space having relied on macro for mwd,(bricking it) I made a turn around having fitted overdrive nodes with twin mwd and wcs I managed to outrun the local concorde. onto the final gate into 0.6 thinking I was safe with not a sign of concord I paused with mwd to save cap, yea of course an armada appeared just at that point to rinse the dom

First ever attempts at piracy. I had just blown up a mining celestis in a kestrel and felt on top of the world. I warped back to the systems station to drop the loot off.
Er, yeah.
Second time, twenty minutes later. Flying around in a kestrel, I lock down and nearly destroy a vexor that was mining, and it evidently had some WCS fitted, as it warped off to the gate. To the chase!
Er, yeah.
I've learned from that, though. Honest.

Killed a guy in 0.4, happily tanking the sentries.
"Hmm, I'm right on the gate, over a minute's gone by, be quicker to just jump than align for a safe!"
Two entirely wrong beliefs fuelled this move. Firstly, I thought the sentries in the new system would not have "seen" me be naughty and would leave me alone. Secondly, I didn't even consider the possibility that the destination system might be high sec.
"Hmm, what's that concord fleet there for? Oh well."
Uncloak with an aim of warping to a safe, boom.
".... OOOOOH I see." |

Noobiest moment?
The moment I started pirating in empire, thinking I would get fun fights or make some ISK in the process.

sheild tanking my rax with lasers guns
Cost: First cruiser
2 weeks ago I was doing some target practice in my mega, with a RACK OF PROTO 425MM on and fired on a can by mistake, concord showed up and dealt with me.
Cost: Mega, 7 425mm proto's and full Tech II sniper gear
Several times I buy things on escrow without see the location
Was testing my plexrunnig proto t2 snip'a'thron in myyhera (0.5) and locked some random can to check out the tractor beam! Only realised the rat that was locked earlier didn't get that painter kicked in on him, when concord said: "must NOt paint the canz!" The can wasn't my corporation's, so I couldn't even tractor it

Hmm, where to start....
> Undocking, finding a target, closing the distance, scramble him, press fire, and notice you forgot to buy ammo;
> Being so drunk you forget you're at a gate and engage someone;
> Finding a really good deal on a ship and accept the Escrow only to find out the item is 50+ jumps down in 0.0 space;
> Warping to a station flagged/undocking your new ship while flagged/etc.
> Forgetting to switch of my guns while initiating a ransom (paid back though);
> many more.

Mouse had been acting wierd for a few days... left clicked at random times =)
anyway..
1:
Locked a freind just to play about well aware 0.6 is concordes turf.. then I passed my mouse over a NOS.. and I was pwnd by concorde...
LOLing, ROFL, I docked and jumped into my Harpy, the first one I got and undocked...
Enter Concorde, LOL ends.
2:
First gatecamp in 0.0
Get my T2 cruise raven into possition and I feel like I can pwn whatever heads here.. Got backup at the gate and other snipers here. Ready for anything.
Then nothing happens for a long while...
I open up TS and tamper a bit w my settings.
Then I see a flash in the background (that is in the Eve window).
Raven is gone and my Pod is locked...pwnt
3:
Got a new Harpy, friend got a new Taranis.
He locks me outside station and I lock back. Open fire just to take his sheilds..
Deactivate my guns..they don't respond...uhoh... Armor is gone on buddys ranis..
