STUPIDIST mistake ever?

Ok everyone...let's have it out...what's your dumbest mistake ever? And I don't necessarily just mean a close call where you almost had a perfect score...just in general. What's the dumbest mistake on a GH song that you ever made?

I think mine may have come the other day...I actually happened to be having a great run on BATM expert (I happened to have a perfect up to this point)...and then came the long notes close to the solo. I was just strumming along until I reached the last Red+Blue chord star power closest to the solo and I hear the ever-insulting *dink* that makes you feel like a complete retard. I stopped playing, and my jaw dropped in disbelief. I then paused the game, walked slowly over to my PS2, shut it off, and walked away shaking my head.

I would have to say letting my family try to play.

It sounded like a terrific idea at first (hey, if they like the game, it doesn't matter how much you play it right?), but then everybody decided to play I Love Rock N Roll. On Easy.

Over and over again.

After dozens of attempts..I had finally nailed the solo in you've got another thing coming-hard....all I had to do was coast to the end for a 100% full combo..and a possible #1 score. In my state of over-excitement, I totally forgot that the timing for the main guitar riff at the end completely changes.....*plink* *plink* ... A part I typically never, ever miss. I went ahead and finished anyway..it was good enough for top 5 for now....

I've not had the heart to go back and try again since.

My biggest mistake by far was betting my cousin he wouldn’t break my other cousins controller over his knee if he failed No One Knows one more time. This was fallowed by the smartest thing I have done getting the hell out of their and leaving my cousin behind. (I drove us their)

While trying to 100% some not-incredibly-difficult song (I think it was Hey), I managed to PLONK the second-to-last note.

The more I play Crossroads, the worst I get. I've been trying to 5 star this song for almost 2 weeks now and it seems the more I practice at the song, the worst I get. I've been getting that pissed off with it that I actually have taken consideration that my PS2 just doesn't want me to do it. I don't know if that qualifies as dumb or just crazy.

How about getting a higher score on a song, but not enough for a star (and therefore auto-save), and shutting off the PS2 without saving? The confusion when I started up the next time was priceless.

Of course, there's also getting another star on a bonus track, which doesn't auto-save b/c you get no more money, and forgetting to go back and save...

Ok i've seen a lot of posts like that since i start reading here, and i can only come to the conclusion that auto-save for any improvement at all was added into the PAL version.

I pity you US guys, i'd forget to save ALL the time.

As for worst mistake, i was on the ending Y+O chords on Killer Queen Expert going for 100% and was so concerned with getting set for the scales at the end i missed a chord...and of course FC'd the scales afterwards...

on even rats, i paid no attention to the score at the beginning, and i was playing through the song and ended up hitting every note (i hadn't FCed it yet) and was astonished to see a 99% sitting on the newspaper. turns out i missed the first note. i was so mad at myself because we all know how long the song is.
