So I thought I would share this amusing (embarassing) experience I had with the GM today.
I wrote a petition about how I wasn't getting the credit for the, "To all the squirrels I've loved before" (or whatever the achievement is at the end...

"Where there is love, there is pain." ~Spanish proverb
I'm trying to figure out which is funnier though: Your convo with the GM, or you announcing to the guild that you're the dumbest person ever and Gleja answering "Congrats!"
Either way, thanks for the laugh. We all have those moments

It's ok... I've also had dumb moments where I couldn't figure out why the quest items for dailies weren't dropping after killing 20 to 30 mobs that, in theory, should drop them.
Turns out I forgot to pick up the quest... :doh:

I once wasted at least an hour, steaming mad but refusing to 'give up' on getting the 'last drop' on a collection quest. I soon figured out that I had already got all 15 drops at some point during my raging mad hour and just hadn't noticed.

Last night I went AFK for a minute after getting into that winter costume gadget for the "Little Helper from my Friends" achievement. I got back and thought, "CRAP I hit moonkin form out of habit!" So I hit moonkin form again to go get back into the gadget and ... became a moonkin. And realized I had been looking at a different moonkin.

My other curse is mounting up in a crowded area, hearing my space goat make its little "baa" sound, hitting my run key, and realizing that was someone else's space goat and I wasn't done summoning my mount yet.

Now I feel compelled to tell a non-WoW story.
Two years ago I was making a Battlestar Galactica BDU costume. I had tracked down what most costumers thought were the actual boots worn on the show and ordered them from the manufacturer. It took about four days for them to change my order from "received" to "processing." I sent them an e-mail explaining that I needed the boots by a specific date and that I was concerned they wouldn't arrive on time since it had taken four days just to update the order status, and that the update had been just to "processing" and not something more definite like "shipping." (I did not explain that the reason why I needed the boots on time was Dragon*Con. I just let them think I was going off to military school or something.) A rep e-mailed me back and assured me that the boots were going to be shipping that day.
Well, another four more days later, I got an e-mail explaining that my order was backordered and would ship in about 9 weeks, and the next available size was a 10. Naturally, I was livid, and I sent another e-mail explaining that a rep had assured four days before me my boots were shipping that day, and it was unreasonable and unacceptable for them to not only not ship my boots but not inform me for four days. I said the only way they could make it right to me as their customer was to ship the size 10 boots overnight to me at my expense.
They apologized profusely and agreed. I made a note to pack my super-thick Thor-lo hiking socks to layer with the boots since they would be a size too big.
So about 18 1/2 minutes later I realized that my original order had been for MEN'S BOOTS. In a size 7. Men's. And there was no possible way I could ever wear a size 10 men's boot because that would be three sizes too big for me, not one.
I shamefacedly sold the boots to my co-worker for $15 less than they cost me, and when I get around to making that costume again (I had about 4 other disasters with it and didn't finish it) I will have to make up a pseudonym to order those boots.

Just say you gave the bigger ones to your brother, they'll never know...
Or use the pseudonym: Apollo then they will just go "huh?"

They were some Western Chief boots that I don't see on the Western Chief site anymore.
