What was your biggest /facepalm moment?

A facepalm moment for me was during a flashpoint. I always use a hotkey to instantly target the nearest enemy so I can force leap towards it. I need to mention that first to make what happened make sense.

We were just finishing off a small group of adds when our healer says "afk 2 min phone", at the exact moment I pressed "target nearest enemy" and then force lept to what I thought was the one remaining mob we had been fighting.

Imagine my surprise leaping across the roadway suddenly into a spawn of elites! The entire group of them turn, look at me and roar their displeasure. Oh crap!
I ran back across the road, fists pumping, light saber raised, as fast as I could. Upset I disturbed their slumber the entire spawn decides to give chase. At this moment I also see the tank had written "afk bio" in chat. Double oh oh.

Well we got a complete wipe. Our tank and healer were chewed up as they stood zombie-like. Then our healer quit. I felt terrible.

I honestly wasn't doing a Leroy Jensin style charge, I just hit the target nearest keybind and force jumped into a bad spot. Needless to say we didn't finish that flashpoint and I was called a lot of things I cannot repeat here.

I had a wonderful audience when I did it. Was on my smuggler, being all cool with my freebie STAP cruising around. The three imps standing up on the cliff above watching, probably knew what was going to happen, and it did.

Let's see. Mine was one of the first times running SnV 16 man. We had a super group fighting all the mobs in the city. I did not wait for them to finish before I started my way through. The tank from the super group pushed a mob from an area right into my path, I instinctively attacked as it landed right in front of me and caused the to group wipe.

I got the cog of shame for the rest of the run.

1. Around launch when I first got to Coruscant I ran out of the spaceport and to the edge of the platform. I had been playing Champions Online a lot and in that game no matter what height you fall from you'll always keep a sliver of life. I thought if I jumped off of the edge I could be "on the street" and walk around the city.

2. Sam character, on Tatooine....in gen chat I heard people talking about a skull in the desert and how funny it is when you click on it. I went and looked for it. If anyone here has done this you know what happens. What made it stupid (of me) was I actually came back and did it again. I guess I thought maybe I could take the beast if I wasn't taken by surprise. (I did the same thing in City of Heroes with that giant octopus that would appear. When it smacked me down to faceplant in one hit a passerby asked me "Wow...how many HP did it hit you for?"....my reply: "All of them."

3. trying to be too clever for my own good.....on a jedi shadow I was doing the Czerka missions. There was an imp BH in the facility killing everything on his way to the mission door. I had no intention of attacking him, but I figured I'll just trail behind him in stealth and he'll clear the way for me. I didn't figure he could see me if I got too close and pretty much walked right up behind him. Boy did he fill me full of holes.

my first Facepalm moment is when I was still new to the game: On Tython I had learned that it was OK to jump over ledges and rocks and usually was a shortcut. so when I got to coruscant and ran past the taxi point I thought 'hey! taxi-point!' and promptly jump over the fence and into the depths of coruscant... needless to say, I didn't survive the trip down

the second was when the option to shuttle to our ships was introduced, I ran from my ship to the shuttle and clicked [to ship] instead of down to the planet... the facepalm moment? I didn't do it once (that would have been understandable) but twice, directly after each other

and, ofcourse, those many times I've 'tabbed' an enemy not in my immediate vicinity were, quite often, /facepalm worthy

I have one about every 2 minutes or less any time I'm lowbie grouped with an INQ/CON of any variety and they ruin every AOE provided by spamming their knock-back.

Lol....yeah, as I said I did that jump into the depths of coruscant too. I did it on purpose though, thinking there was an actual street for me to land on.
I did that so many times one night I got frustrated with myself and logged off.

This...because it just happened to me like 15 minutes ago. I was on my 55 GS looking for the Seed of Dread on Tatooine. First, a question if anyone knows....

If you've tabbed an enemy player and they stealth, do they still show up on the display? I ask because I saw an inquisitor, also 55 in the same area as I travelled to the point I was looking for. I had stopped to scavenge something. I'm sure they saw me and I figure the inquisitor had stealthed because I didn't see them in the area, but on my display I could see the distance they were from me initially counting down from about 100 meters to maybe around 70. Then it stopped and started going higher. I had decided to stand my ground if the imp attacked. I'm guessing she decided it wasn't worth attacking me and moved away.

So I went on with my business. Reaching the area at the northern part of the map is where I facepalm myself for not being careful.

Same inquisitor is there. Fighting a big monster in the area and losing. Hey,I figure the imp would do it to me so as she is desperately trying to not die (her companion had fallen already) I took a shot at her. Two shots actually as I rushed into my attack. Unfortunately she went down in the first one and the second auto targeted the monster would killed me seconds later. I'm pretty sure the imp player had to chuckle since I had essentially killed myself in my zeal to get her.

(Like everyone else I hate it when someone jumps me while I'm engaged, but I've learned its better to attack rather than wait for them to heal up only to attack me next.)

In the new Quesh Huttball arena when I'm on low hp and jump off the side to escape an enemy.....SPLAT!

So did I. First time to Tatooine. Wandering through the sands. Oh, look ... a clickie! Then, well, it was over quickly. Made me twitchy about clicking things through the next two planets.

Facepalm moment: I get the Duel Saber Throw on my Sith Marauder. 30m range! Quick cooldown! Instant! My "sucks at melee" heart sang. First time I used Duel Saber Throw, I damaged the heck out of the mobs in front of me. And ... the mobs behind them. Many, many angry mobs stampeding at my Sith Marauder.

When I first read the Duel Saber Throw description, "Throws both lightsabers in a straight line ... dealing x weapon damage to all enemies directly in front of you up to 30 meters ..." my mind skipped over the word "all."

Facepalm moment: When I completed chapter 3 with my first toon, a Gunslinger, I thought I was the baddest thing to hit the galaxy. Oh, yeah! I made it! That's right. I went on to create alts, and played them for a while. Months later, with a lot more MMO knowledge under my belt, I went back to my Gunslinger to work on moving beyond level 50. I checked my GS for equipment, and ... realized that I had leveled my GS in armor with all kinds of main stats, not just Cunning. I had used real world logic with MMO game play. My GS needs Aim, right? How else will she shoot straight? My GS needs Strength, right? More power for those Blaster Whips. My GS needs Willpower because, uh, so that the Force will be with her?

Oh, my goodness.
