Did you have any embarrassing thing you've ever done in WoW? One of the friends said that he was master looter for his guild back in Vanilla and they were running ZG. they killed the bat woman (his mates had a lot of fun in those days trying to kill the trash bats before they blew up) and she dropped the 2h paladin mace. The paladins had their little bid war, he went to give it to the winner and lo and behold he handed it to the rogue by mistake. He has never gotten over that...
For me, amusingly enough, my most embarrassing moment actually had to do with a clam. We were in UBRS (back when UBRS was still hard and let you run 15-man groups) and one of our warriors got bugged while looting. While it's fun to watch someone scoot around in the looting position, it's not too good when it's your main tank. At the time the only real way to get out of the glitch was to carry a clam with you, open it and close it without looting. Being the only female in the raid - and not even thinking about it first - I cheerfully offered to give our main tank the clam I carried with me since he was grumping about being stuck.
As you can imagine, you could hear a pin drop on vent as 14 guys pondered this statement. If I could have crawled under Azeroth to hide right about then, I would have, as it dawned on me that I'd not qualified that statement enough. I sputtered out about how opening a clam without looting it and then closing the window fixed loot scoot and... yeah. The damage was done. The entire raid broke into hysterical laughter at my obviously flaming embarrassment. I was mercilessly teased for months about it, and as you can imagine, word spread so that it wasn't just my raid group who got to poke fun at me.
A warrior friend of mine was our main tank at the time and we were clearing the pyramid to the panther aspect. At the top of the stairs to enter there's a group of about 5 panthers on either side, which can be a nuisance on their own as AoE tanking wasn't in its best form. So we used to clear one side then pull the 4 man humanoid group inside the pyramid to the outer platform so we had more room to avoid their abilities. We cleared the right, our tank said "ok pulling to the right" then promptly pulled the humanoid group and ran headlong into the panthers on the left by mistake. We survived barely, but we still tease him about it when he's using left and right in any tactics.
