I had that moment too, also had a 'spark of genius' when I found the BM system and thought 'hey, if i make a BM on top of the gate, I could warp to that to avoid traveling the 15km' 
Also, I remember being baffled as to why I could not get Projectile ammo to load into my railguns... guns.... projectiles.... right?

- Warped into a belt to do some mining for the first time, and I warped in right on top of a mining drone someone left behind. To me it looked like some sort of weird scorpion parasite attaching itself to my ship. I quickly warped back to the station and docked to carefully inspect my ship for any signs of parasites. Then I made sure to warn everyone in local about them.

I thought you had to level up skills to level 5 by buying 5 of the same skill book.

"Huh, sentry guns and concord. I wonder if Alliances can rent out NPC corps to patrol their space and put up sentry guns. Yeah, that sounds right, would only make sense. Oh wow, look at those groups of NPC freighters. They must be delivering player goods that have sat without being picked up by a contract for too long. It would be sorta cool to wait till a big item is moved then kill them in transit."

Oh so many.
1. While installing the game after it was described to me as being like Elite or X2 but online, I blew the dust off my Joystick, only to discovver that you don't "pilot" your ship in the traditional sense.
2. As previously mentioned fitting long and short range guns to my ships, so I was effective at all ranges,
3. Taking my first Scythe in to my first lvl 2 (I still have the Scythe, but I **** myself when I warped in!)
4. Finding systems were unreachable (didn't realise you can change the auto pilot settings)
5. Wtf are drones for then. I want more guns on my ship. (Also not realising that frigates can have drone bays)
6. A friend who also plays as Minmatar advised me to shield tank my ships.
7. Fitting an afterburner to ALL my ships.
Probably more to follow if / when I remember

At the start of the tutorial, the tutorial drone (aura? aurora?) said I should not attack her. I spent hours looking for that drone to shoot it  ...
OHH, and once I tougth I was finaly over with the tutorial-bot for good. I have not heard her voice in days. I was happily traveling near 5-n2ey (or something similar), found some lotkas at the gate, waved at them "0/ hellow lotkas"...boom
and there it was:
training-bot - "You clumsy pilot! You have been podded!".
The worst, she was laughing at me!  |

When I first saw a mining drone sitting on my bantham I was persuaded it's a Jovian thingy and something really exciting is gonna to happen. Since nothing happend after docking and the thingy was gone, I assumed that these must be some kind space 'vermins' on the asteroid fields. Finally realised what it was

"What's best to fit on a slasher , railgun with missile launcher , or artillery with rocket launcher ?"
(drawing aggro from 2 cruiser rats in lowsec) "ow ! mayday !" (forgetting to warp out)
(3-noob rifter gang goes hunting for pirates) "B-VIP9 , we're so gonna kick their asses"
"Angel General , that's PHAT LOOT !"
"Check local ! Warp to us... uh uh... he found us , run !"
"I'm warping away... killing me... warping to you ! Stay where you are... omg, he's podding me !"
(attacked at a 0.0 gate) "What did I do to earn your ire ?"
"I insured this shuttle , it will cost less to explore 0.0"
Back then , I was also oblivious to the self-destruct function...
"You pirates look like you could use MWDs to run away faster , found one in a can"
...and provoked people in my shuttle , trying to get podded back home

hmmm my first thoughts
-okay i only play the trial. After the math test i going to pay for the game. (i failed)
-its probebly the best to tank shield armor and hull at the same time
-mix different named autocannons and artillery so i can cover lots of optimal range range...
-better i write down all the systems and station names so i find my way back
-where was my agent again?... and my ship... damn
-omg that map is 3D!!! (after 3 month i found out...)

Hunting rats in Ours with a Velator fitted with lasers (when you're that poor even ammo is expensive)
Warping out every time my shields were about gone, not knowing that repairs to noob ships are free (again with the no money)
Pressing the 'Buy Now' button on the market and wondering why the hell the item is 20 jumps away
Kicking around in my Vexor thinking I'm the **** back in '03 'cause people hand't seen cruisers before. Same day being stuck in said Vexor in Empire 'cause the gate rats were tough and I had no mods fitted.

Ahhh what an excellent thread!!
Back in May 2003...[on my original character not this one]
Born in Cistuvaert, Verge Vendor, took me 5 days to figure out how to leave the system and join my m8 down in Heimater. No autopilot in those days, it was a long trip.
Ninja mining 'all' the high end roids in 0.5 > 0.1 in my Probe frigate, dodging the rats, eyes glued on local and anyone dodgy looking, scraping together the odd refine of something nice.
Then they nerfed the roids to hell I quit for 6 months.
When i came back i mined Omber for 3 months straight and, not satisfied with the pathetic cargo capacity of my hauler, i used to painstakingly position giant secure containers in the belts, precisely the correct distance from the roids so that i could sit there in my thorax 5km from the roids and transfer to these cans. The precise positioning took nearly as long as the mining but of course i justified it to myself by saying that no bugger ore thief would steal my omber. Then a m8 told me that if you jettisoned your cargo hold you could transfer 27,500m3 of ore into it instead of 6x3900m3 per can. I wasn't paticularly pleased with this revelation as i should have been...i was bloody furious at all the wasted hours i had spent with those damn giant cans!
There was much gnashing of teeth!
In fact i'm still pist off about it! 
My very first corp getting scammed by our CEO since Beta. Feeling that EVE was the ultimate expression of human depravity not just the most gorgeous mining sim ever.
Funny thing is the guy's name was Hari Seldon. I hope to God it wasn't you 'cause only NPC stations have unbreakable tanks.

Here's several for ya...
First day I got lost after one jump, couldn't remember the name of the system I started at, lost my gear. Got along with it.
I fitted lasers on my Rifter and kept on using lasers until my Rupture era. I then decided that Minmatar sucks (big mistake, truthfully) and went Gallente.
I was running missions but I had never heard of anything damage-reducing. Needless to say I couldn't get anything done without the help of my corpies. I learned about hardeners when I was already in 0.0 ....
Where, on one of my first days, we were about to take over FAT-6P. We assembled in 9CG6-H at a POS, and I thought we were at the gates. Found it weird to see all those turrets in one row, backed up by hardeners and EW stuff :)
