Some of mine:
-Misreading PM as AM when I hit "time", and smoting accordingly
-Dog stomping on the keyboard, causing 10 repeat smotes
-Typing "whi" instead of "who"; I had to make an alias for this!

Guilty, so many times. Imagine that happening frequently enough on Lylena...

I have an account alias for whi so it uses who because I am a compulsive who-er and it was starting to get ridiculous.

Anyone else 'ee' instead of 'e' often enough to have that alias set?
What are you talking about? What, that guy?
That was like that when I got here.

I haven't done this yet, but am looking forward to it. I've avoided it thus far only because I discovered that cmud has my tenkey set as a directional pad, which has saved me a lot of trouble, actually. Especially when trying to go diagonally anywhere. So many letters otherwise.

Recently, my "o" key has been half-way stuck into the keyboard. Sometimes when I hit it, it doesn't register. When checking my score, I sometimes type in "scre."
I wonder how many hours I've played on this character.... ARRGH!

Hehe! As long as you cough it back up on someone's lap you'll be fine.

For me initially it was always forgetting to greet after introducing myself.

I know that it is a common mistake, but I still always felt horrible about it.

"Hi, I'm (character name.)"

"Oh, hi (character name), I'm (character name)"

-proceed to banter-

OSAY: Can I get a greet? :)

I don't need greets, I get to make up nicknames for everybody.
Oh hey slender slim. Oh look its you brown eyes, White haired and imposing? *waves* like tots Mornin poser. sup sup.

I have too many of these to count.
I think the best was typoing shadowwalk target to end up in old school of wonder.
I trained up double-edged bananas because the uber-plantain of doom I scored from the beehive quest was the best weapon in the game. Now it's being treated like a bug and they have gimped its damage! That's not fair! My character is ruined!

OK I got it. Multiple embarrassing moment accumulated all through my first 5 or so months of play.

I never went into cormyr or explored well over half of the map because everytime I looked north to the bridge of fallen men I saw:

A purple dragon is nearby north from here
A purple dragon is nearby north from here

And in my head I was like.... wth is barnie doing here. I thought this was dnd... proceed to stringently not pee myself as to why there are dragons on the road / bridge and move away.
