Same here!
Spamming. It's serious business, don't do it. For real.
Well going on topic i have had some nasty miss spells which made me say things i didn't mean like instead of saying "hi" I type "ho" and that never goes well.
When people keep on nagging me for team ups when I don't reply (usually I'm left alone by most people), and they don't seem to understand that when I'm not actively looking for a team that I'm really not looking for a team.
Boy do they ever get hostile over that, esp. if I clairify what 'You are not looking for a team' means in the Team Search UI.
Even when I do put something on the search comment, I sometimes get annoying tells about it.
Something akin to 'this is a MMO, so no soloing' and'how dare you even think of doing solo stuff??'

The flag doesn't mean you're not looking for a team, it means that you're not ACTIVELY looking for a team. If you really don't want to be bothered, then turn on "Don't accept invites". That one people usually listen to, because they have to.
Or, just use the /Hide command.

No, they really don't. They just send you tells to tell you to change your status so they can invite you.
The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
Go with /hide, select "Hide from searches" and "Hide from invites."
You can't get invited from a blind invite, and they can't see your name on the search UI to see you in the first place. In the meantime, your SG and friends list can still see you.

Nothing in regards to comments, but I wanted to smack myself in the head when I was in Icon and tried to pan the camera around to get better views of my creation. Several times. In one incident. *facepalm*

No offense my friend, but you're gonna have to kick it up a notch if you wanna make it into the Rude Tells thread.
"OK. /ignore" just ain't up to snuff.
Read thru some of Psychoti's EPIC mind-gaming posts for clues on how a Rude Tell should go.
Oh on on the Idiot Moment topic: my idiot moment was spillling Diet Coke on my keyboard... but it didn't die immediately...my text started coming out like "t4ar3get t3he Sha4ma4ns fi1rs6t pl2s" and got progressively worse until the keyboard quit altogether. Unfortunately at that point we were just finishing the mish, and as Leader, the team was looking to me to get the next one rolling.
So I tried to communicate, through EMOTES ONLY, that I was unable to continue. *Arrrrrgh!* *shake fist* *Arrrrgh!* *grief* *Arrrrgh!* *laptop* *Arrrrgh!*
I thought since they had witnessed the gradual degredation of my ability to type, they might figure it out. 
No such luck, and I was forced to Quit the team "with no warning" or even a G'bye Thx!
Epilogue: I switched to a game that didn't really require keyboard input, mostly mouse-work, but didn't unplug the keyboard. So my PSU melted in a shower of sparks.
*Arrrgh* *grief*
In an old tabletop supers campaign, we had one hero whose handicap was that he didn't have a mouth. Gagged all the time. Also supervillains kept phoning the base to torment him.

Friend of mine in a rpg also had a mute character, or I should say, one who *did not speak* because of some vow. She was trying to describe a big monster that she'd seen and was coming our way.
The player acted this out:
Big eyes, scared looking, and kept waving his hands up from behind his head.
We were all, "peacock? bleach blonde? headwound?"
it was a riot

I was on a team yesterday that:
A) Had a team wipe due to several people attacking the next group while three people were still dead. And we didn't even have a full 8 man team.
B) Wiped again when we charged in and aggro'd three full groups in one of those big wide-open sandy troll/FBZ cave rooms. This was the final room (with mission target in sight) of the third mission of an AE arc with only 3 missions.
Right after this, one person complains that the AE mobs are "too hard" and we should quit and do something else. Several more agree, with one saying "two team wipes on one mission is pretty extreme".
/e headdesk
I guess we were looking for a mission easy enough that we could be total idiots and still not die....

In a non-COH duh moment, my wife and I were going on a road trip. As usual, whether it's my car or hers I always drive on the long distance trips. (We both like it that way)
Anyway we were stopped at a light and my wife looks over at me and says "Oh! I didn't know your car had a BOSE stereo in it too!"
I looked at her for a min and said, "Well babe, that's because this is YOUR car...."
So now whenever I have a moment of idiocy I always remind her that she does it too! (Even if I have WAY more than she does....)

This is why I always invest in a keyboard skin; it makes spills worse on my desk, because it prevents the keyboard from catching any, but it prevents liquid from getting into the keyboard.
BTW, if you disassemble your keyboard and rinse it out carefully, the last time with distilled water, and allow it to dry for several days, you can usually save it after a spilled drink. In some cases, it's even possible to run your keyboard through the dishwasher (light duty cycle, no soap, just the hot water). Performing a final rinse-through with 100% Isopropyl alcohol will clean out any remaining residue once the soft drink or coffee has been extracted.
"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses."
-- Bruce Leverett, Register Allocation in Optimizing Compilers
Bah, keyboards are cheap, why bother "saving" one?
This other one eventually made some sort of sense -- not really an idiot moment, but anyway, here's the story:
A new guy joins the team. We zone into the mission. The new guy says, "Can you type something in team chat?" While we're waiting around for him to zone in, the leader says, "What? I don't understand what you mean." Then she calls him by name. I point out that he can't answer because he's zoning... and zoning... and maybe dc'ing. So the leader says, "Well let's start, he can catch up or get a reinvite later."
New guy eventually zones in, and all goes well. Except that he has that extreme form of scrapperlock that means running off and taking on entire spawns on his own, and occasionally dying. At one point in another mission, I teleported him to the main group just as he died. He then complained that he'd been at the location of the glowy, before I'd teleported him. And? You died as I teleported you. Should I have left you to lie dead beside the glowy then?
Anyway, at every subsequent mission he says something to the effect of "Can type something in team chat?" before zoning. I figured out quickly that with his 2-plus minute load times (no joke), he merely wanted to hear the beep of team chat going on to reassure himself that he hadn't dc'd yet. It took him about five missions to explain this to everyone else though.
Anyway after two missions he tells us that he has a bank mission. This is right after the leader explained in team chat that she was skipping a bank mission because she didn't want to do it, so no bonus points for paying attention. He asks if we can do it, and everyone else pretty much doesn't care either way, so the leader says we'll do it next.
Instead, the leader forgets, switches to a different character and has me grab a mission, and we do that. Note that a lot of these decisions are being made in the 2-plus minutes the guy takes to zone back out of the last mission.
He keeps bugging us. Someone asks if he needs the temp rez power. He was running off on his own and dying at least twice a mission, so I said that yes, he does! But I reminded the leader that we'd promised, so after the current mission we set his bank mission.
We zone in. And wait. And wait. We had never actually waited for him to zone before, since it took so long. People make jokes about what kind of computer he has. Someone says we're already on the clock once we zone in, I said no that''s only villain side, but someone else noted that eventually the bank robbery will start even if we stand still.
And... so it does. We run to the bank. As we enter, our slow-loading scrapper friend finally disconnects for the first time all evening.
/em sigh. Some of us tried to talk the group into exiting the mission and waiting for our friend to come back online, since he desperately wanted the temp power... but we had three other scrappers on our team. You might as well tell the tide to not come back in. ^_^
Anyway, I kept checking and he hadn't returned even ten minutes later. Ah, well.

It can take me a month to get used to a new keyboard if any of the keys are in a different location. One keyboard I had been using for years had the backslash key in an odd spot, and I had been using it for jump in nearly every mmo or shooter I was playing. It dies, I can't find one like it, and suddenly my characters are all limp

And... now I have to tell one of my old table top Superhero game stories.
Our team went back in time, where a player-controlled villain was trying to help the Nazis out during world war II. I forget the specifics, but we captured the player villain and brought him back to the present day.
He argued that we couldn't imprison him because there were no laws against going back in time, and any crimes he'd committed were either past statue of limitations, didn't really happen, or couldn't be proven in a court of law.
One of our previous adventures had happened in Parador (from the old Richard Dreyfuss movie Moon over Parador), so we happened to know a friendly dictator who had recently built a prison to house supers. He didn't need a reason to lock the villain up, just our say-so that he was bad.
This did not go over well with our friend the villain, but there wasn't a lot he could do about it. He wanted to hire an assassin to kill our SG leader, but he only had a few thousand dollars, not nearly enough. Instead, he put an open bounty on the leader's head.
For the next year or so of gaming, random low-level (and frequently incompetent) villains would appear out of nowhere to make an attempt on our leader's life. They were more of an annoyance than a threat, but it was a lot of fun. Your line about villains calling up to torment the silent hero made me think of that. ^_^

You totally should have explained through creative pantomime.
Ouch Organica, must of been running the game on the 'minimum system requirements' listed on the website (and on the latest COH Box, MA! i might add! these need update plz!! kthxbai).
Not even my netbook (one of those things with the intel atom processor) i had briefly took that long to load into a mission.
Great stuff though guys!

So, I was gagged in-game for 24 hours (and with good reason!), and I added a search comment to my character that said so, so that people wouldn't be confused as to why I wasn't chatting with them when I teamed up.
I then get invited to a team, and the new team leader asks: "what u get gagged for?"

*facepalm*
Anyone else had any moments like this lately with comments so stupid that all you can do is shake your head?
