Deaths that make you go 'hmmm'Follow

Mine was kinda similar. Back when I was still a hopeless noob I was questing in ...Ashenvale I think (some elfy place) with my boyfriend and a guildy. A couple of PVP-flagged level ?? trolls were running around the place. I think it was the first time I'd seen any high level Horde players, and certainly the first time I'd seen anyone of the opposite faction flagged for PVP. I didn't really understand how it worked. So my boyfriend warns me "don't attack them!". I scoffed at him "well duh, I wasn't going to!". Apparently I didn't really get the difference between left and right clicking yet either, so I targeted one of the trolls and did a /wave at him. We then ran off to continue our questing. Or we would have done, but I gave the troll a good whack with my staff as we ran past. Panic ensued, we were dead within seconds, and the two Hordies followed us around slaughtering us and our quest NPC's until we gave up and hearthed :( I think it put me off PVP for life.

Also, just recently, I was running through the tunnel from Moonglade to Winterspring, on my way to do some grinding. I passsed a troll hunter on the way. He stopped, turned, looked at me...and the next thing I knew I was being charged by a boar. After a brief WTF? moment I gave in and died. I still have no idea how the hell I was flagged :(

one time.
running to the windwatcher in alterac from southshore. /autorun and WC break. came back and found my body in tarren mill killed by some of those UD ?? guards... took me 4 corpse runs to get far enough away from the fast guards.

Shmii the 30th level something Night Elf Druid happily skips about Booty Bay headed for the guy offering tax-free rides to all the hot spots in Kalimdor. Onto the Inn's porch, turn right and in we go. Up the stairs, starboard exit at fleetmaster Longhorn, make a left turn, smile and right-click the Horde Flight Master out of habit.

Did the same thing as OP, but in gadgetzan. Afterwards, I rode out to steamwheedle still pvp flagged, ralising that the person i had done it to was following me, i dismounted and decided to fight him - he was level 42 and i was 44. Strange thing was, what i didn't realise was that there was ashaman and a warrior (both level ?? to me) following him. When i rezzed, they were there again, but left me alone after that.

I have two that are rather funny. On my main rogue back in my early days of WOW we did a guild run of Gnomer. 3/5 of our group is down the elevator waiting for me. A hunter is running with aspect of the cheetah in front of me and gets on the elevator, so i hit sprint thinking I'd make the elevator as well... Oh I made it, but managed to freefall to the bottom and SPLAT! That would have been nice to end there so I have a priest rez me so we can get going again. I am under the elevator at this point, so here is what happens; rez, elevator smashes me in, LOL decide for a corpse run. Started my 1st Gnomer run with 60% armor... fun repair bill for a poor main.

So now I started a new character, a hunter. Want to learn furious howl for my pet wolf. So I am in the Astranaar area near the Warsong Camp. I see a mounted Orc scout. I send pet, aim shot, arcane shot, dead. It's all fun and games. No loot but I'm fine with that. Running back to Astranaar to fly back to Darkshore from my horizon comes an UD shadow priest. Being on a PVE server I wave and start going on my way. He waves back dismounts and attacks. So I am thinking ?? UD priest against my 29 Hunter I will die rather quickly. After I send my pet to attack and get an arcane, stun, freezing trap, his DOT's finally wipe me. Embarassed I come back for my corpse and he is sitting there on his mount. I figure what the heck so I rez, he waves and rides off as if nothing happened. *moral of the story: remember when you are flagged.

When my first horde character was level 10 or so, I attacked a skull druid in cat form thinking it was a mob (we had been killing the lions in the barrens). Was a neat trick, because it flagged like 3 others who were in my group for pvp. I didn't know what happened, but someone in the group explained it to me afterwards as we ran back.

My most embarassing one was while running a guildie through the "saving silverbeak" quest line in the hinterlands. I'm a 60, my guildie is like level 42. I get her there, even side quest to get the egg for the hakkar quest line. Feeling all uber as I tank everything and all.
So we save silverbeak, watch the script. I walk to the edge and say, "If you're careful, you can jump down here in stages for an easy run back to Aeris Peak.". Only I'm not so careful and fall off the edge to my death. Even misclicking my barkskin key which would've saved me.
"Um, watch that first step."

I hate it when you're less than a second late for the elevator to the UC. You step on the platform just as it starts falling, and it goes too fast. You end up falling down the whole length of the elevator shaft. I've done this maybe ten times. Twice at the same time. Died, rez'd JUST as the elevator starts going down, and die again. I felt very, very, dumb.

first time running in to 1k needles:
die to the guards...
second time: run past guards thinks YES i made it, and i miss the elevator just to realize i could have used the griffin to get there.....
yeah, that makes you feel stupid :P
