Nika Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 What is your most recent facepalm moment/noob mistake/realization on neopets? I realized I don't have the poogle racing avatar yet even though it should be easy to get. So I started betting on poogles and I saw there's an option to feed your favorite. So each time I fed the poogle the tastiest sounding food each time (neggs, candies, etc.) And today I took a closer look and realized those items are actually from my INVENTORY. Derrrrrp! I thought it gave options based on how much you bet. I fed a poogle a Faerie Queen Negg and who knows what else. Argh! lilllisan, Lydia Trebond, TotallyPommy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilllisan Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Several times I've bought super overpriced paintbrush plushies thinking they were real paintbrushes. I get so excited I click without reading... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I get so excited I click without reading... :/ Oh no! I hope they're priced fairly for what they actually are, and not at a price that's maybe good for pb's but exorbitant for plushies. Cuz that'd be some trickery :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miemieh Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Wanted to discard my fist (and only) Nerkmid(I don't have a clue how i'd got it), because I didn't know the item, so it probably wasn't worth anything. Thank god I'd decided to search for Nerkmids on TDN site first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummydumpty Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I've had several, but the one I remember the most is getting a Lab Ray Cookie on my side account with the free NC, realizing I can't send it or use it on a side account.

lilipooh Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Once I was trying to restock on Kauvara's magic shop and saw a Woodland draik MP... I really couldn't believe it!! So I haggled for it and when I thought I'd get it... I got the "You can only carry 50 items at a time" message. I wanted to cry :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I don't remember any situations that actually ended in a facepalm. I expected to have one once when I bet on the Food Club and I accidentally placed like 6 bets with a different pirate than I meant to do, but then that pirate won and I ended up with a huge payout! I know I've done bets like that other times, though, when I have actually lost lots of neopoints, but they don't stick out in my memory. I try to forget... Another instance would be converting my pets when given the option. I could have left them unconverted, and I would have been much happier with them AND have UC pets. But silly me, I wanted to see what the button would do... Nika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annika Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I was playing KeyQuest and near the door I said good game, but I couldn't go through the door because I forgot one key. :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 when i got back into neopets around late november, i noticed that i had like 100 NC. i bought a faerie quest cookie, used it and only did two out of the seven quests because i forgot i even had it -___- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanalways Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Before the Petpet Protection League there was something like it that was a competition of how long you had attached your petpet onto your pet. I remember getting a new petpet, and having the same petpet for a long long time before deciding it was time to change up the petpet. When I "upgraded", the very next day I saw that there was the competition, and I was literally TWO DAYS away from getting a trophy for having my petpet on for x amount of days. I was so disappointed and angry xD Nika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I once bought the full petpet lab map for 200k. I was a newb with a 2 month old account and had no idea about these forums yet. I just thought I was getting such a great deal because I had seen them for so much more expensive. You should have seen the look on my face when I reread it in my inventory. :laughingsmiley: Several times I've bought super overpriced paintbrush plushies thinking they were real paintbrushes. I get so excited I click without reading... :/ I need to be careful. This sounds like something I would do, lol. Once I was trying to restock on Kauvara's magic shop and saw a Woodland draik MP...

Nika Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I was literally TWO DAYS away from getting a trophy for having my petpet on for x amount of days. Moments like that are so frustrating! At least you couldn't have known. With the example of carrying more than 50 items, I've had that happen (although not with anything as desireable as a woodland draik mp) and the worst part is kicking yourself because you "should have known"! I was playing KeyQuest and near the door I said good game, but I couldn't go through the door because I forgot one key. lol this isn't so bad! It sounds more like something I would do in real life :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaylaTheHedgehog Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I spent the past two weeks trying to figure out why I was unable to transfer a Lemon Chia from my side account to another user. It wasn't until I googled it that I found out that my account wasn't old enough to transfer it out. I felt really silly, afterwards. Thankfully, the person was going to trade it to understood, so we agreed to try again when my account was old enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarria33 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I've probably made a lot of mistakes on neopets back when I was 9 years old. I'm glad I don't remember them.. Lamppost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 When I sold a 3 million item for 1 less 0 via auctions. I'm always terrified of this. Or not clicking "neofriends only" when doing ALP lends. Which reminds me.... The other day I logged in and had a bunch of neofriend requests. I'm thankful I realized why before accepting: I was doing a neofriend auction on the reduced collateral ZDAP. That would have been a serious disaster. Auctions leave a LOT of room for error!

That would have been a serious disaster. Auctions leave a LOT of room for error! Ugh, I did that while being lent ZDAP. D: I was friending a bunch of people at the time to help out on Habi, and so I didn't even think of it. >.< Luckily, the collat wasn't reduced by much, and I only lost out on 200k or something, but still, I felt like such a fool!

gulsanga Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Something I did for a long time which deserved a faceplam almost every week was wasting my NPs on the WOE, it took a while to get the avatar but when I think about all the neopoints I have wasted on it I cant help but shudder. *FACEPALM* Nika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskitty Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 So I think this was when I was 10 years old and priced items according to their est. value in the little popup window. I was returning from a 8-month hiatus, and my dream pet was a Starry Xweetok. (don't judge me :*) About 5 minutes after logging on, Dr. Sloth gave me a Techo Transmogrification Potion. (This was when they were about 210k.) Being the nooby ten-year-old that I was, I put it in my shop for 87k. Somebody bought it and I used the nps to buy an overpriced Starry PB at 95k. I kick myself every time I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi_diggs Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My most recent facepalm moment was yesterday when I sent an awful score on a game instead of restarting. Total waste... :hmmph: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
