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."

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!"

mmmm biggest facepalm moment... I don't really have one in my noobish days becuase my cousin was very strict that i not suck or be noobish, so i knew a lot before i even had a subjob XD I did have a facepalm moment the other day as 90thf in oldtown mavop though, i'm training gobs and bugbears (and bats because they come with the gobs) for alchemy mat drops when i attack one of the bugbears and ws it and it doesn't die... 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

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.

[Zyeriis]

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."
