When you receive a disstress call from your newly build Station and a Station detonator destroys your Station and the explosion makes your computer go completely dead. You look around and you see a Vonari who looks like your wife standing in your room with the unplugged power cord in her hands......

:P:P:P:P:P

... accidentally pressing the wrong key in combat kicks your fight or flight response in so hard it takes a couple of hours for your pulse rate to return to normal. I freaked myself out so badly I needed to give up combat and take up mining for a few hours to calm my nerves. See my post in the dumb mistake thread about hitting padlock view (alt-v) by accident for details.

Yeah ... read it. The only thing worse is doing the same thing while fighting Rommie.

Yes you have! I remember your first appearance in MP (in Legends)... you were being "welcomed" by BA and I came by to see if you needed any assistance... well you certainley didn't! Instead you "welcomed" me with a load of excals.... a natural born BA!

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the "not being trained" part. A number of retorts come to mind ... none of which I'd touch with a ten foot pole. All of them, though, are typical of old geezers (and older robots).

How come you're up so late if you've been grounded?

when you've built so many stations that you forget what system you are building in!

This results in naming stations in Rucker things like "Pearl 1"

when you go out to do your chores, the different stops that you need to make look like stations.
when you run into the shed because your IDS got turned on and you drifted into it.
when you try shooting your sisters bad horse by pressing down on an imaginary mouse.

All real things... will update it later with more.
