Most embarrassing death?

Act 1 normal, just killed andariel. I knew all the critters around were dead to went to pick up what had fallen out of her pockets. Anyway, wandering around picking up the loot, walk over a fire on the floor and fall over, stupid poison.
 
Just happened in the WSK...

I was playing a werebear, summonned my wolves and ravens, switched to my main weapon and ran into a boss pack. I died instantly.

I had accidently toggled the right mouse button from maul into the key to transform into a bear. So I ran into them and instead of attacking, morphed into a human. Life drops from 2K to 600 ish, it's all over.

:laugh: That was happening to my brother so many times, and I was laughing my *** off. But usually I would tele in a boss pack instead of casting Blizzard so we we're even:tongue:



 
I ran into a piercing spear from those spearcats in act 5. Low on health, but safe. Somehow managed not to stand still, but run into a spear that otherwhile would have missed me by miles. Doh.

I wwas killed by a trapped urn in one of Tal Rashas Tombs once :thumbsup:

I also have been killed by an evil force after killing Mephisto. :thumbsup:

Once when I was going to kill Baal on hell he went completly nuts and spawned 50-60 of his arms all around me. To say I got confused is mildly worded, and of course they killlled mee. :rolleyes:
 
One to top all ends of stupidity

Clicked on a shrine which had "Exploding shrine" blatantly written over it.
Turns out I also had my ######## druid in hell WSK on the weapon switch with horrible resists...especially fire.
 
I had my first Fishymancer in NM Act3 LK IIRC. Up to that point I had not died all the way thru Normal. I was watching the Simpsons at the same time ......... BAD CALL. Bart Simpson caused my first death that time (in SC). Funny, because 2 hours previously I had been bragging to my nephew (who I'm still trying to turn to the D2 side) that I still had not died. lol
 
i was in act 2 and was savagely poisoned... i was standing in a spot with no monsters around with 1 health left, i was showing a friend my items while i was waiting for the poison to stop, then all of a sudden... a spike trap killed me from the floor

first and only time ive been killed by a trap of the land

other one was when i said my (at the time lvl 78) sorc could handle herself nicely, then died on ws lvl 2 on my way to showing my mate a NM baal run on /p1... well it was funny at the time :]

edit: as ppl mentioned above: cant forget the mouse roller, thats killed me on meph runs a few times... i have also completely forgotten to change the skill at all before, resulting in a direct teleport

I just remembered. Count me in the 'lvl 90+ sorc, poisoned by Andariel and backstabbed by a puny fallen in Nightmare' camp too.
 
I have laughed pretty hard at some of these, a few strike a chord in my memory as well...
An evil force near Mephisto...
The fire behind Andariel got me just a couple days ago...
Hitting Esc to pause the game and get a soda... while on Bnet...
 
I was so proud of my new Barbarian Patriarch, level 88 and 34k defense.
In fact, he was made solely to see how much defense I could pack onto one character. I had seen Fury druids fail to kill him, Zealots too.

I was letting a friend take shots at him for the heck of it, and went up to get a Dew. It took a lot longer than expected. When I got back, I saw the death screen, and the only explanation was thus:

My friend, who was perfectly capable of handling any enemy around me, suddenly had to go, and had killed my mercenary as a joke.
A pack of Fallen strayed close to me, and decided they would try their hand at killing me.
They, after what must have been an eternity, managed to.
 
Similar as CDRToast: hit Esc and went for toilet. As I was heading back to my room, I realized I had started an MP game to reroll the map. A red "welcoming" screen already awaited me.

On the related matter: I typically use the F4 key for Teleport. Once, I was holding ALT to check the items after killing some monsters. Suddenly I decided to switch back to Teleport without releasing the ALT first.. :rolleyes:

I have F3 tasked to telekenisis, so sometimes I miss and hit F4 instead. I'll try to pick up gold/potions and next thing I know my desktop backround is there saying hello. I try not to ever task F4 to any skill for that reason.



 
Exploding cow in Tristam. Was getting hammered by a boss pack of skellie archers and was running back toward the red portal, not realizing I clicked on the dead cow...BOOM!!

Which is why I have the "Show Items" key bound to spacebar instead of alt. Actually, it's because I use a Mac and that's the default key setup, but it makes sense no matter which version you're using.



 
My first ever charicter, a Zon. Screen is clear of monsters, so I go and do something away from the computer. I come back and I'm dead. Some carrion bird is pecking at my remains.
 
1st death ever, in hell by a blood hawk:rolleyes:

Was playing my very first character, SP, fishymancer (although I didn't know what it was called at the time, just liked the necro). Had a full army summoned, was sanding around cursing monsters while the skellies beat them to bloody pulps, which took awhile since I had no +skills or other good gear except for my wand and head. I had the volume turned down and don't normally bother to look at my life bulb, nothing gets through my army (usually:embarassed: ).

Apparently, the many enemies in the area had dispursed my army such that a weak point was exposed behind me, a hawk's nest that was being demolished managed to spit out one last hawk before expiring, and my skellies rushed the other way, leaving that one lone hawk to sneak up behind me. Since I didn't hear the "ugh" "ahh" sounds of me taking damage, I was very suddenly greeted by the "you have died" message and watched all my skellies pop.:laugh:

I'd like to list the ways I haven't died, would be shorter, but then Murphy's Law would take affect and you *know* what would happen.:jig:
 
In a pvp game I tried to trigger fade from treachery RW with my barb..decided I dont need a bo...and decided that some slinger boss pack shouldnt deal too mutch dmg...DooM was slain by slinger:rolleyes:
Oh and I think Iv beaten Kab's TUB (TUB challange) in best of 5 match up in the same game, so yeah I was kinda embarrassed when everyone lol'ed at me.:thumbsup:
 
A couple months ago I started up a HC druid and zoomed out of town. I immedietly activated two groups of fallen who completely surrounded me and block-locked me. I tried ditching the shield but that just made me lose lots of health instead of blocking. Of course I only had my 4 starter potions. I died without killing one single monster. :rolleyes:
