Was running around with my Bounty Hunter (chakra) on Taris and feeling mighty strong because I was overleveld by 3-4 levels already...

So I find a "mysterious dead jedi" lying around... So I clicked him, thinking it might be a lore object or a hidden quest.

It went something like this:
-Hmm, what's this dead jedi doing here?
*click*
-What's that noise?
-OH DEAR LORD, RUN AWAY! RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
*thud*
-would you like to respawn here or at the nearest med center...

It's worth nothing that quest-starting objects have the little triangle above them, and lore objects say "Lore Object" or somesuch when you mouse over them. Keeping that in mind can save one a lot of bother.

I have seen people in general chat on Tatooine asking about the skull and dead Jawas and being told to click on it, with promises of something good. While I've never done this myself, I've never intervened to stop the person and save them either, because, well, it's funny.

I used to grab the bomb and sprint into the cantina and find someone or a group standing there...and wait.

After the explosion and my death I would tell the people near me to avoid the hot wings, they have some kick.

My biggest facepalm moments are when I've been using the GTN for long periods and I close the GTN window... Then, forgetting I just closed the window, I right click an expensive item I intended to sell and subsequently bind it to myself. Did it with a Morlinger Aggressor mount a few weeks ago when they were selling for around 3 mil

Isn't there a confirm yes/no window? Did(is) there a way to turn that option off? and if so, why?

I get a confirmation for armor, but never for pets/mounts/emotes. I didn't know I was supposed to.

8m HM Dread Palace.

We had DPS issues for the first 3 bosses. Bestia enraged twice, we ran out of platforms 3 times on Tyrans, and we couldn't down the crystals quick enough in Calphayus.

And then, someone decided to inspect our gear:

"Why is the Assault Vanguard using a Shield for his offhand?"
-_-

In my defense, I tanked a HM SnV just beforehand... Also I pulled aggro off Tyrans for the first simplification too...

Oy! That reminds me of one of mine.

I was in the middle of re-arranging my gear and giving hand-me-downs to Elara when I was called for HM DP.

About halfway through the op, I realized that my boots and pants were empty. As in, I was wearing orange shells with no armoring, no mods, no enhancements. After realizing this, I decided to own up to my mistake in Mumble and got the requisite amount of shaming for it.

I think the only thing that saved me from being in too much trouble is that the Sentinel in our group had already built up quite a bit of charge on the "dumb-ask lightning rod" by chain-pulling multiple trash groups which had already resulted in a few wipes.
