Not at all! Especially when I was the one who did it! :P
I was distracted by a phone call xD

This comes up in lschat:
"Omg! I just bought an hourglass for 10k gil out of some one's bazaar! Let's go do dynamis! What an idiot!"
"That hourglass is empty/useless, you're an idiot who just wasted 10k."

/facepalm

I remember running in Quifum with my two friends, one whom was on his 65 BLM and the other was leveling a low level job with me. our BLM friend targets Quoofim and goes, "Hey! I wanna kill it!"

We are in Xbox Live chat so we sit there and watch and see if he dies. Our friend casts a spell on it and runs to the OP and the NM comes unclaimed. a level 90BLM runes in and casts Burst II on it, claims it and starts going through all his spells to kill it. He gets it down to 15% then Convers and gets hit and dies...

We are just sitting there going, "WTF? How did he die?!?" and my friend who also has a level 90BLM exclaims, "he didn't put up Manawall when he converted... So he died....To Quoofm....Hahahaha" /facepalm.

All and all out low level BLM Nukes it once and down goes the fishy.

"Did you see that guys? I solo'd him!"

So me and my LS go burn some Shinryu down cause we are bored. We go through a few runs and up comes my turn to brew, we enter we engage, proc blue, .....and then i realize i forgot to grab my brew -.-

O.O? this thing just took a 1.8k DE to the face... wtf? oh shit thats an NM! *proceeds to kill it* damn... good thing my train ended there it could have killed me XD

It is a good thing your chain did end there! I almost died in there the first time in because of links etc and everything was too weak, but everything links. Which brings me to my noob moment taking for granted bugbears don't link to moblins and goblins lol

lol too funny

Here's another one.

*Walks out to West Ronfaure*
*Walks around*
*Sees a person with a "?" next to their name spinning around a monster, like they're trying to manually dodge their attacks*
*facepalms*
*remembers that he once, too, did that when he was starting out*
*facepalms*

This thread, is a mind controller :/ It's the only thread I can think of that is actually making me think about anything. Trying to recall these facepalm moments.

Crawler's Nest party. Everyone is chocoboing through Rolanberry except one guy. After coercing/threatening him to get a move on, he zones into Rolanberry as we reach Crawler's Nest entrance to wait for him/another straggler on a chocobo. Straggler #1 reaches us but I look at the map and notice that Coerced/Threatened guy (Straggler #2) hasn't gotten too far. Continue waiting.
2 minutes pass, I check again, he's not even around the first bend, and I'm like "wtf?"
"What's taking you so long to get here? You're bad at riding a chocobo, stop afk auto running and get the hell over here."
"I'm not on a chocobo."
"Wtf!? Why?"
"I don't have a chocobo license yet."

I got a Good one, Its about myself
Lvl 10-15 rdm about 4 years ago (2007 ish) being escorted by a nice mithra rdm to the dunes. Talking with her, telling her what is already painfully obvious that it was my 2nd day playing and I didnt know anything. Walkin from Sandy, she asked "Do you have a tele?" Being new and very poor at the time i said "No I dont have a telephone at the moment" Without skipping a beat she said "No I mean do you have the teleport crystal so we dont have to walk" I felt about as big as a Taru at that time.

lol glad I could supply you with some food for thought until the servers come back up. Haha.

I get asked to help some one with the final chapter of CoP. Since I'm experienced in this field and am more than glad to help, I accept the request. The person who asks me isn't the leader of the group.

We get through 8-1 and 8-2. Then disband and agree to regroup the next day after everyone has solo flee run their respective towers.

Once this is done, and we regroup the next day, I help them with getting their brands for the 8-3 pot fight.
Once this is done, I start talking about getting a PUP to come solo it for them.

Party leader chimes in: "No, PUPs suck, they can't solo anything, are you retarded?"
I am speechless at this ignorant comment.
After gathering my composure.
"Who's done this before?"
Leader: "I have."
"And how many times did you die during the fight?"
"What's that matter?"
"I didn't die once? I've done this more than once?"
"I don't care, I don't let PUPs in my party, they're useless."
"Okay, ignoring captain ignorant, the rest of you want to not die and lose exp/waste your time right? Do any of you have PUP?"
Party member: "Agreed, I have PUP. Want me to switch?"
Leader: "No, I'm the leader, we're not going to waste our time with something as stupid as PUP."
"Well then, you can solo it yourself then, I'm only here to help, if the rest of you actually want to clear CoP come with me and <person I'm helping>"
*Party drops and reforms on me*
*We clear CoP from that point without any failure on the pot fight*
*We all /facepalm at former party leader's retarded bias*
*Former Party Leader rages and doesn't clear CoP*
*A week later, he's shouting for a PUP to solo 8-3 for him*
/facepalm

Zyer...omg that was really ragefail...I would've been chucking my computer out of the window if that happened to me...

You know, re-reading my own posts on this matter, they seem completely unbelievable. And it makes me /facepalm that they're true. I've seen way too much fail, maybe I shouldn't return to the game tomorrow xD or I'll just be adding more of these stories to my collection.

LAWL!~ People are so stupid...Let's see...Most of my /facepalm moments that I have witnessed usually involve Dunes lol. Can't remember any right now, but I remember several /facepalm moments before the mob depop patch when I would be stuck outside a zone (usually GC or CN) because there were a buttload of trained mobs at the zone. <.<;

The most Noobish moment I have whitnessed in game...

I think that would have to be seeing a Red mage soloing Genbu and Converting before using an Antidote or Stoneskin.

Actually, scratch that.

It would totally have to be seeing this Galka Samurai get nailed by Dissevernment in Diorama(Ballista) from a Blue mage just before he killed the Blue mage...then he left Diorama and died to Dissevernment Poison right outside Mog House in Ru'lude Gardens.

I actually have to update and stuff, I've been gone from the game since 2 weeks after the 80 cap update. I wish they had at least left the playonline server up so I could get this sort of stuff done ahead of time but, no.

I know, won't take me that long though.
There's people who were gone longer that adapted quickly.
Of course, my main sounds like it's getting snubbed completely now (Corsair) so that's going to be a problem. Least I got SAM and DRG to rely on. Though my other job (PLD) is also getting snubbed apparently. Maybe I'll finish DNC too. And finish BLM on my alt mage character. Anyway, off topic.

Back to brainstorming on other fails I have witnessed.

had a party one time when my rdm was like 14-15 (this was on Midgar way before the merge) and i was told i couldn't rest till my mp was at like scraping the bottom of the barrel, never trust leaders who tell you to rest and you use up your mp till it scrapes the bottom of the barrel, the leader was an idiot too (forgot his name) and i was like can i rest now? <Leader> you can't rest till your mp wears down to nothing <Kadian> [thinking] this guy is an idiot, nobody lets any mage run their mp down to nothing

I would have left, that guy needs to be slapped.

Aby Vunk: Farming trigs Ki's and Time with LS mates. My LS leader whos a 90 blm taru with 1000+ years exp in game ( he started back when NA version was just up) has ppl sleep all the mobs he pulls (brd blm rdm zzz) Then he cast AOE Dot (Diaga/poisonga) not sure which. He has Apoc atma on, gets up Nukes the mobs again, Dies. Following his example: x2 blm x2 brd x2 rdm 1 NIN cast trying to kill.... they all die again. They run there 90 Mule there to R3... Taru mobs pop ... mule dies too.... This is Epic Fail i think.

After 5 min I get there to agro so they can raise up... (I'm not the smart) I agro 2 the only 2 not lookin at my LS mates... im killed.... no rr.... we all HP

People like my CoP 8-3 guy, or any one mentioned in any of my "this guy failed" posts (how many am I at now?)

Maybe 5 or 6. I don't have a good long term memory at all and I know I have a boatload of epic fail moments to share.

Reading all the "waaaah people swap gear" threads make me want to /facepalm

But for the sake of posting, I remember this guy in Qufim Island casting Bind on worms (inb4 skill ups). Another one was this JP WHM in a PT that would always make sure to Silena himself first after Imps use that Silence move (Cannot remember name, Abrasive something).

Back in the day of lolsky I was the only BLM present for Suzy (they didn't have a rdm/drk). The leader at the time asked me to switch pt's so I dropped and flagged up, he had the attention span of a goldfish and forgot to invite me.. They popped, I /sit and watch from a distance asking them to invite me, nothing happened as the pt leader was a pld (who unsurprisingly was incapable of tanking it and inviting someone), it used CS, they died, I dropped pearl.

My favourite though has to be in Beadeaux, this one dude uses the mute with his whm npc out and huzzah! The npc Silena's him every time, I watched with a delightful grin on my face for many minutes.. or until he saw us there.

I was leveling my 3rd character (which is now my main one) and was all jazzed up because I had just gotten my first Altep party for this char. I was ready to party for the next 6 hours. We're all gathered at the guidestone in Lower Jueno and the WHM teleports us and everyone disappears...

... except me.

I had totally forgotten that I hadn't gotten my crystal yet. >.<

Yeah that's happened to me too. lol

Lol i have met a few 75+ that have asked for a tele- yhoat. I cast the spell and poof! they don't have the crystal LMAO

Ill list a few(tryin to remember some of my own while i read these i know i had some):

Pre Abyssea:

My roomate went exploring with some friend and made it to jueno at 15, one guy forgot to pick up tele point and had his hp set to jueno. This was about 1mnth after NA relase so werent as many bored high lvls jus chillin and willing to help.

Another of my roomates in a dunes pty was being told he was main healer as hume blm lvl 10. i told him that not what blms do so dude got mad, he /sea me i guess, at the time i was lvling nin sub for my war. He send me a tell saying "you only a 32 nin you have no clue what your talking about, im a 50 blm i know it better than you." I humor him with the response "o really well excuse me i guess your smarter than me" . I tele to dune my fried and 2 ppl leave pty and i pl them 75blm/37whm -.- then he tries to curse at me telling me im stupid jus cuz im 75 doesnt mean nothing.

I had a 75 nin in exp who didnt have ni.(kicked)

Had a blm in lvl 60 pty come out who didnt buy any spells past tier 2 because he said they cost too much mp.(kicked, and he didnt have warp or d2 either or any sleep spells, so gettin booted aactually mattered to him it seems)

during a pet burn in cadavea mire had a bst who refused to use anything but jus pet, and was using a saporling(i think i know it was something stupid weak with low hp and subbibg nin.)(kicked)

had a bunch of people in a pty call me a gill seller(yes not even buyer they said seller) cuz i was wearing all +1 gear half of which was signed by me @lvl 25.

had a pty ldr kick me in the dunes when i was lvling whm sub cuz i wasnt wearing astral ring as a lvl 24 taru.(im a taru that doesnt believe in the sacrifice of hp over 15, and even then i try not too unless i really gotta)

Yeah back in the day when I was trying to help someone break their limit. I forgot which one, It was the one in Xarc/Beaucidine. anyway, after we were done helping I asked if he wanted a Tele Holla and she/he said yes so I started up and tele and it said everyone vanished but when the screen finished loading the person we helped was still out there.. "Where did everone go?"

O_O

Wait, wait...wait. How did you get up there (the person left behind)? If you say tele-vaz, imma cry.

Well we Tele Vahlz there because we were questing but we saw someone who was wondering around and needed their limit broke so we all chipped in to help. I don't know if that person had the crystals to Vahlz or not but he sure didn't have Holla..
