Post your tanking derps and herps here!

Accidentally hitting mobs that are being slept. Multiple times. In the same fight. I need to work on the ol' targeting system.

Last night we get to the boss at Copperbell Mines and my cat jumps on my lap/keyboard and turns the entire HUD off. I had no idea how to turn it back on at the time. Luckily we made it through the fight alive. Scroll Lock turns the HUD off/on.

So this is a fun thread for all tanks who've ever derped with a little herp (or alot) to share their stories.

I'll start off, I was tanking titan and I knew something was a little off due to how low my HP pool was and I realised I was tanking without defiance after the wipe we had previously and forgot to turn it on... I noticed this at the last 25% of the fight, props to my healer for keeping me alive the whole time haha.

"I thought I could stun it. ; ;"

Was In Halatia (I'm pretty sure I spelled it wrong :p)
But I marked two different Mantis's for my dps to attack first and second, and lets just say I ended up running around pulling aggro, cause neither attacks the marks I laid out lol. My character looked funny.

Started playing since relaunch on ACN got to 20 and joined Grand Company, got a quest to unlock Darkhold so thought yeah why not. Now how hard can it be. Switched to my 50 WAR that I haven't used in over a year, launched DF and got party right away. Proceeded to wipe numerous times and had no clue what I was doing. Everyone quit and I have decided not to burden anyone with my WAR skills until I relearn how to play it lol.

On PLD while tanking Titan. Noob-ass BLM and WHM keep getting knocked off the edge because they can't dodge Landslide. While typing and telling them they suck ass(I was nice the first 8 times they wiped us), I don't realize the WHM is behind me and I get hit with landslide. Go flying off the edge while face-palming.

I attempted to incorporate signs into my routine for the first time.... completely lost hate and looked very stupid...I was so ashamed /shame

Hauuke mansion. Adds popped on final boss ran to grab them not noticing the stun about to go off. Oh god...The boss made me watch my healer get gangpwned!!

Tabbing out to change my playlist on rhapsody; tab in and group has started a boss fight and im locked out >_> lol.. even tho i say brb!!!

I didn't exactly tank... but this one time I was playing black mage and I accidentally stole hate from the paladin. :'[ We didn't die or anything, I just stole hate. I shamed myself...
