Ahh...nearly forgot the best one:
I like to spam rightlicks in my opponents main with my scouting probe instead of shifting waypoints. Once I managed to select my nexus in order to build more probes but somehow missed the hotkey of my scouting probe while continuing with my rightclicking.
Yeah that's right:
I actually started rallying probes towards my opponents base and only noticed it after 4-5 were happily on their way crossing the map.

What a boss.

lol that happens to me all the time  especially when I have a mix of slow and fast units -.-

Yeah.
I feel your pain, so very much.
I shall even upload a replay if I manage to find it.

Calling down a mule but missing the mineral patch so it just sits there and doesn't do anything.
Scanning your mineral line instead of calling down mule/supply.
And attacking your own buildings/units/statues instead of your opponent. d'oh
Oh and accidentally selecting all my SCVs at the start and press "s" thinking I have my cc selected and watch them all stop mining.

i think miss clicks are inevitable especially in tournaments where you're nervous it's not about the act of miss clicking it's how fast you right it like if you miss click a mensk statue like you said just immediatly click away and you should have only lost a few shots make sure you right your positioning and it's not insta loss because you missed like 2 unit shots.

Sometimes, when I a-move I missclick and once I pressed on this statue on Metalopolis and all my units went to attack it and none of them were attacking my enemy force. GG instantly. Also, when I spam-click at the beginning of the game as a Terran or Zerg that "S" button sometimes won't make me a worker but instead stopping all my income...(If you get what I mean) So TL, even though you guys are the pro of the pros, diamond of the diamonds, I do doubt that you've never done any missclicks. Share your stories for some good entertainment value! XiGua.
simple solution, when you missclick, click again. even if you don't know you just commanded your units to kill the statue, a move/click again to make sure you didn't mess up

At one point a few weeks ago i was having some trouble with terrans going mass thor, hellion. I'm having little to no trouble with it now but i was experimenting with strategies. I went roach + infestor with neural to combat it. I had between 7 - 10 infestors and about 25 roaches against 10 - 12 thors and 15 - 20 hellions with little marine support. I put my roaches in a flanking position and then brought in my infestors to neural the front 5 or 6 thors... only to realize i had misclicked and researched energy instead of neural and freely suicided about 10 full energy infestors.
|
I don't even know how many times I've attacked my own units like a scrub when trying to micro. Now I've learned to use stop instead of attack move.
I'm also guilty of leaving the game once when trying to pause, but that was in a crisis situation (apartment building was being flooded). Now I only use hotkeys for menus.
|
I got a new keyboard and am still not used to it. I CONSTANTLY stim my guys when they are just chilling in my base. In one game when the P i was facing attacked me he typed "lol" at all my red health units.
Another one: When controlling my mmm ball I keep my medivacs in a seperate control group. While moving them around I inadvertantly pick up units. Always have to drop guys off mid battle lol.
|
Sometimes in an intense micro situation I will attack one of my own units. If I am lucky it only gets hurt, but if my army is large enough then it dies instantly.
edit:
Not resetting a rally after making an obs and having a colossus wonder over to the other side of the map and get killed. That is the worst. Although I guess that isnt a misclick.
Accidentally setting my nexus rally to somewhere it shouldnt be. The 2 most common are the enemy base or to a gas geyser. You can have 10 probes on a geyser without noticing because the little bastards stack on each other.
|
I once was being attacked by an early cloak banshee in tvt. I half expected it, so I had been saving a scan so my stimmed marines could deal with it. Get in position, and...instinctively mule instead of hitting the scan :/
|
Couple things I've done more than once:
Research hallucinate instead of warpgate. I was like whoa, that finished quickly...fuck. It's not very helpful when trying to 4gate push :x
I usually scout on 9 after my first pylon, and a couple times I've forgotten to shift click the probe over to scout and I end up supply blocking myself 1 minute into the game.
|
One time I accidentally morphed in like 3K worth of gas in banelings, I then accidentally pressed X, I didn't realize where all my baneling's had gone untill i realized the X button is for detonate, I lost that game and my dignity a little as everyone on my stream was laughing at me for losing so many banelings, and one time I did the same thing about 2-3K gas worth of banelings and i accidentally clicked the rock blocking gold expo on xel naga caverns lol
Miss clicks are the bane of my existence T_T

I once accidently build an extra starport instead of an armory. The next time a engaged was wondering why i was taking so much damage and found out i was still 1/1 in infantry and the lvl 2 was not even researched. Was so pissed off.
Damn the keyboard for putting s and a so close
|
1. Accidentally move the scroll-wheel of the mouse "zooming in" the view. (Before I turned off that in the settings menu.)
2. Miss-rally CCs to the frontline instead of just the unit producing buildings in the heat of a battle.
3. Double-clicking all supply depots and lowering them. And also lowering the wall at the ramp!
|
I use grid mode, so baneling's explosion and zergling's morph-into-banelings are both the same hotkey: Z.
Guess what happened.
|
Oh, also I like to put all my production facilities on one key and tab through them for production. I also like to constantly set new rally points based on what's going on (for defending against impromptu drops, worker harass, or to re-rally with army, etc). I have several times lifted off buildings to swap add ons, set a rally point while they are still in midair, and been like "wtf" as my factory and starport are floating towards the middle of the map...

IdrA vs NoNy from the SCBW TSL (we're going back in time now).
The only thing more epic than that misclick was the response to it.
Though for a personal one,
I was at a 200/200 food Zerg army on Metalopolis and in need of clearing some space for Ultralisks. After engaging in a battle, I was able to lose some units and get a couple, but knew that wouldn't be enough to break the Terran turtle. I'm in panic mode because I know if I counter-attack now he won't have enough to hold me off (having just held off a 4 medvac drop in my main with a clutch fungal). So I decide to suicide some lings fast to get that needed supply space. But it doesn't clear up enough space. So I suicide some more. I continuously do this trying to clear space, and it's not working. I'm freaking out now as I've lost half my lings, and then finally decide to look at the small dings my minimap has been making- Then I realize that one pesky Viking I ignored has killed half my overlords without my knowledge. Shit.

once i clicked my OC trying to think if i should call mule or scan
i decided fast i needed the minerals more than scan
but i pressed C and clicked on minerals and wasted both
