Post your tanking derps and herps here!

So I've just started doing hunts for my Grand Company, and am looking around for my target. I pick up a few friends along the way with the same objective in mind.
We finally find our target, I ask if everyone is ready, they confirm they are. So here I go:

I run forward, shield lob. Boom. Oh he's angry now. I run towards it, it runs at me. I swing my sword........Miss
It completely bypasses me and continues on to slap one of those squishy mage types upside the head. *facepalm*

Those feels when you pull the entire first trash pull in ST and no one takes any mobs off you >.<

Was tanking first boss in wod when I saw it titan egi roll up and drop a molten puddle of crap on the boss. I've never played summoner, and while I know titan tanks and had an enkindle I've never actually seen anybody summon it in a duty with me before.

I stared at this anomaly for a full fifteen seconds as my mind tried to find a comparable situation to relate to, until I dropped dead from a doom I hadn't noticed.

Typing in party chat to explain some mechanics to some new folks, somehow my cursor exits the chat window, always when I hit the letter "r"....

Autorun FTW! Guess we are ready now.

FUnny thing is this one person was like "moron"....but I was able to get thangs under control and we wonz.

Anytime I'm doing endgame content after levelling an alt and forget the first go around about Shield Oath. Usually I catch it around the time I can't beat out our Ninja or the Black Mage is lighting a fire under my aggro bar.

On the plus side, I've learned I don't need it to hold hate per se. But it gets dicey without it. But every time it happens I learn how to push the limits harder.

I did Cutter's Cry till after the second boss, without Shield Oath.

I spent all the time thinking how the hell I was losing aggro so much, even flashspamming, till someone told me "btw you forgot oath"

I am still kinda new to tanking so I was doing a run in Tam Tara nm and it felt a little off but I thought that was cause the healer kept running off and pulling different mobs with aero we get to the last boss and one of the dps got disconnected so I was giving them a minute to return ( I partied up with that dps to help them with that dungeon) after saying wait a second the healer rushed in and pulled the boss >.> . We beat the boss it was a little bit longer than it needed to be being short a dps when I get back to the open world I look at my gear I had the heavensturn sheep helmet on the whole time...

My first reaction would be, in /a: "Who the heck actually uses Titan?!?"
