I bought a "Nude" or "Bare" shirt without realizing they had to match your skin tone. My T$2,000 purchase was one shade too light! Sugurie (Sugarme) thought I was too light already, so I didn't want to change!
Any vanillas out There? Hehe!
I'll admit to a few more after some more posts.  <- or is it me?  BOINCer, but you may call me Bo

Oh and I did the wrong skin tone shirt thing too. I walked around in my newb clothes for like a month before i bought anything, and boy when I did! But I was too stupid to go to the spa and adjust my skin tone, 'doh', what a moron I looked like! All hail Queen Mackie!

LOL! I had the Farmer's Tan for all of 5 minutes when I got my first (and only) bikini. Dang it.. it was a matched set but the skintones didn't match each other. *still grumbling cause I loved that suit*
Hmmmm.... not knowing what a forcefield was.
And hmm.. going into one of the tracks and clicking that yes, I want to race... don't wanna sit around and watch.. wanna play.. LOL Hey, I didn't know the difference yet! Someone went running at me yelling to not race against myself.. but they didn't tell me the difference between racing and just doing laps. Ho hum... lol A naive girl can be infatuated with a knight,
but only a woman can love the man inside the armor.

Yeah...walking was easy...but "How in the heck can they run?" It took me a week to figure that one out...doh! 
I'll admit I was in there for over 10 minutes before I figured out how to talk. I looked all over for a talk button....and it was really SOOOO easy.  BOINCer, but you may call me Bo

My only mistake, was blowing all my newbie cash on catalog clothes... bless, the hoverpack rewards. =)

This past weekend I was talking to this very nice lady and let my dog, Sugar, out to play. Well Sugar ran off and I left the conversation to call her back. I returned and started chatting again. We must have talked for 20 mins before I realized it was a different person. They looked like clones and I never looked a the name until I had made a fool of myself.   BOINCer, but you may call me Bo

Well, maybe not "the" stupidest thing, but I only had about $3025 left and someone said to help raise my Fashionata skill that perhaps I could buy items, try them on and then return them to get my money back . . . HA
I went into auction and bought a pair of Red Panties for $3000 . . . looked at them, then decided to sell them back, but I could only get $1200 refund . . . what happened to the 30 min, full refund  ?
Well, anyway the stupid part was that rather than get ripped out of $1800, I kept the stupid panties . . . so now I got only $25 but some sexy drawers . . . LOL

I caught on pretty fast when I logged in, so the stupid thing for me was continually asking someone how to do something, and then figuring it out before they finished typing the explanation! It's not nice to make people feel like they're not needed. And also I kept using smiley faces like ^_^, ~_^, and >_< instead of typing something that would trigger an emote. Never Knows Best...

Probably too numerous to mention, but:
Not realizing that I was in "noob uniform" and couldn't figure out why everyone was asking if I was new!!!
Buying something from auctions that was just wrong, wrong, wrong, returning it and losing about $2000T.
Asking someone when I should meet them to return the hoverboard they had lent me.
 Not being able to figure out how to get upstairs in a dark Bali Hai. (Ramp? What ramp??)
LOL

the first newbie thing i did.... hmm....
ah yes.
there was that time where vmcl1998 let me borrow a hoverboard of hers to try out, and when she was explaining how to use the board, and was saying "push ctrl and the left mouse button", i tried that, and shot off without seeing the rest of the explaination (i kinda figured out that was the combination for the turbo after that)
other than that, i knew virtually everything about there from reading these forums... i think these forums are more helpful than the official there help files You are an Intrepid-class Scout, Starfleet's frontline sentry. You're a bit of an enigma. Your grace and intelligence may go unnoticed, but people rely on you for your insight and ability.

oh, not really a newbie thing, but mistaking a guy named spiff for our good ol' spliff... heheh...
that was embarrassing. and i didn't even realize until about 10 minutes later. You are an Intrepid-class Scout, Starfleet's frontline sentry. You're a bit of an enigma. Your grace and intelligence may go unnoticed, but people rely on you for your insight and ability.

lol, on my first day i spawned in HB park, and was running around thinking that if people left their vehicles around i could take them and they could be mine, so i found a buggy and followed everyone around to see if they would get off/out of their vehicle and leave it there. by the end of my first day i had 20+ boards, buggies and packs that werent mine, thinking i could get rich selling them. LOL

rofl! fs, you are such a nut...I was a newb and met up with another newb (oh the horror you must be thinking) And he told me the same thing. The dude said there was a wonderland of free vehicles! OMG WE WERE SET! He took me to Guymons Gorge (*sigh* the good ole days) and yup, there they were, we were like kids in a candy store. We never did two laps in the same buggy! Then to our amazement, They starte disappearing from our inventories...EEEEEK THESE PPL WERE GONNA KNOW WE STOLE THEIR STUFF, THE THERE COPS ARE GONNA SUSPEND US FOR SURE FOR THIS!!!!

I like to explain to ppl my life is one long blonde moment, mix it with being a newb and what ya got? A BAMA THATS WHAT!
I have imd ppl thinking they were someone else....I have knocked ppl to the moon with boards....I have asked some very stupid questions (thank goodness for patient ppl)....I have made some serious goof ups....I kissed a 14 yr old kid on a bench (yeah didnt think to make the comment "I sure hope your old enuff" til AFTER the initial '''kiss had been placed) And I think I cursed someone out in Hebrew.....Come on, anyone who knows me in game knows about my blonde moments...Some still believe I am a newb that had the fortune to hook up with a very nice designer... All hail Queen Mackie!

I am surprised noone else has posted these Maybe I am just a bigger idiot!
Anyhow, couldn't figure out how to join convos. I would walk through the convos thinking if I just moved my avie into position the chat bubbles would become solid!
Then I blew my 10K the very first night thinking i could earn more doing tasks of some sort (doh!
I never did the skin tone mistake but I DID do the return-an-auction-item for only the There wholesale price mistake 
Um how about character quirks? Is there anything you do that you don't see otehrs do in There? When I suck at racing I usually hop off my bike, board, or buggy, and empty a paintgun clip onto it out of sheer frustration. I am the only freak I have seen do this! Sin like you mean it!

LOL I soooooooo want to see that, Daemona!
Hmmm... since I am technically a newbie for 3 months.. I have to be able to label this as a newbie boo boo! On a group tour, the guide had a group IM/Chat/WhateverThePookiesItIsCalled open. I had it moved down in the corner.. nice and out of the way (is there REALLY an out of the way spot for those things?) The guide went to the next location and sent a summon to the group.. I then accidently hit summon instead of accepting to go. EEP! One guy started yelling "WHO ARE YOU?!" lol A naive girl can be infatuated with a knight,
but only a woman can love the man inside the armor.

Great stuff! Keep it coming!!
Does anyone else think of There in RL situations. Like, I saw a young lady at the airport yesterday and she looked like she just walked out of the game! I wanted to go over and talk to her. But, not looking anything like my young, buff avie I went on to my gate. BOINCer, but you may call me Bo

Well, Taeja and BOINCer, next time you see me, remind me to show you my red panties . . . strictly for historical (no not hysterical) purposes so you can see what I spent my entire fortune on . . . lol
Boy sympathy sure is scarce around here . . . lol
