Amusing Mistakes

Is this rocket for sale anywhere?

Being completely naked in public must be the most embarrassing thing for most of us.

...The friend who did the deed had sat down on something in the box and was IMing me 'OMG, the box and everyone is gone'. Gone? Yea...apparently we dropped people AND a big box on top of people and the shops below because she made it physical instead of phantom, and it took us a while to figure that out.

When I came back into the room with my computer, I was standing naked with a crowd around me

And I really wish I had been in that crowd! I know your avatar looks like you. Does the skin look like you too (underneath your clothing)?

Not hiliariously funny, but it was cute at the time.

I have an apartment in the bell tower in Venice Passion, over one of the canals.

One night while I was standing by the window, a friend asked to come over, so I tp'd her.

A moment later, I saw her falling, arms flailing, outside the window.

"What the hell is she doing?" I wondered, and I tp'd her again.

Again I saw her falling through the air, arms flailing. She landed in the canal each time.

Then I realized I had to stand in the middle of my room before sending the tp.

And my question: Anyone else have any monumental -- but highly amusing -- goof-ups?

Cheers!

There's an alt I play when I need an escape from Friends lists, or if I want to experiment in roleplay that may be out-of-character for Wildefire. So anyway, I was wandering through one of my favorite sims as "Altie" and ran across an interesting torture device that I thought might look good in one of Wildefire's dungeons. I checked for the creator and opened up her Picks. I saw that she had a store, so I eagerly clicked the Teleport button.

So, I end up at my destination and as things are rezzing, I notice one of my favorite designers standing just a few feet away from me. "Hmm, I didn't know she was into this kinda stuff," I thought, as I continued waiting for things to load. I panned around to discover another one of my favorite designers, and I found this quite odd; I had never heard of this shop before but apparently it was a popular place! Then in area chat, some text scrolled by, uttered by a very well-known SL merchant. I turned around in surprise, and there he stood, saying goodbye to another SLer whose name I'd heard before.

I sheepishly glanced up to my title bar and discovered that I had just ported onto the private property of one of these designers. Apparently the BDSM shop I was looking for had moved! There stood my alt- embarrassingly dressed, with a silly, embarrassing name, and a very embarrassing group title over my head. Oh and of course I was fully decked-out in items both designed and sold by the very people whose party I'd inadvertently crashed. I was mortified.

Dumbfounded, I scrambled for the Search menu and started looking for someplace- any place else to go. I was so nervous I kept mistyping searches, and finally I just selected the first mature sim on the list and ported the hell out of there. Naturally, within seconds I had thought of numerous brilliant and funny things I could have said at the time, to sort of bow out gracefully... but it was too late for that.

First land I owned, was editing the land, decided I didn't like what I did and figured the 'revert land' button would take care of the mess.

Oh yes, and don't forget to check what you have selected before you click "apply to selection" no matter what action you have selected. And check again, even if you think you already did that.

And... does ANYONE actually use 'roughen'? What exactly is it trying to do?

I've used roughen. I like adding hills and bumps and the like.

I'd like to use it to add hills and bumps and things, but I guess I just don't get it... I would have thought it would just ad some randomness to the surface but instead it seems to "twist" the whole selected area.
