I don't know if this has been said or not, but the new "alerts" that appear at the top left of the screen I sometimes click on, and it takes you to that said alert. So if you're fighting at your opponents base and accidentally click on, say, "probe finished", it'll take you back to your base. That, and I sometimes click on the stuff on the menu bars. I've been in a few battles where I accidentally click a tab, I lag like crazy, only to see my profile being displayed as I lose my army. Sorry, Blizzard, but that's a fucking stupid feature - do I REALLY need to see my profile while i'm gaming..?

You can disable this in options, i think its under gameplay, somthing like "Disable Menu Buttons ingame" or similar

Opponent kills rocks without me knowing = my army takes the shortest route, through his base.

I moved my army to another terran's base, deploy my tanks/marauders and go to attack. He's got marauders hitting me from a cliff, so I click my command center hot key to do a scan and get an SCV...whoops, that's a pretty terrible misclick.

So i use the mini map to find my CC, select it, and click back to my army just in time to see my marauders moving through his base getting destroyed. I guess I accidentally right clicked my army when I hit the mini-map to grab by CC. So in a fight where I outnumbered the other guy 3:1 and he had no tanks I managed to kill my entire army.

Recently, my opponent asked me for a sec, and paused the game. I could have unpaused and win, but i waited. About 5 or 6 minutes later, he came back, and told me to unpause the game when i'm ready. I clicked the Surrender button...

I was doing a 1 gate expand build against zerg, and right before my nexus finished, somewhere between 95-99%, I saw some lings coming with my scouting probe, and needed money to chrono out another zealot. I noticed that I had 2 probes queued up looking at the dots in my control 5 group. I went to cancel the two probes, and right as one completed, I double tapped escape, canceling my nexus at the last second. I sat there dumbfounded for a good 5 seconds before I realized that I was actually still in a game.

BIGGEST fucking missclick problem caused by the game is the left-click-assign-control-group function for the hotkey bar. I lost a game recently because the hotkey with ALL my raxes on it got magically assigned to a ghost. I had the game won with 4 bases to 2 tvp, but lost it because i thought i que'ed another cycle of rauders, ghosts, and vikes from my 12 raxes... all I had were 4 vikes and a handfull of rauders by the time i went to grab my next army.

In BW, the siege mode/tank mode hotkey was the same (o). A lot of times, I would press o one too many times in excitement. I would watch the protoss army kill my army as my tanks unsiege right after sieging.

In SC2, I've done all of the ones that seem to be common. Building 2 infestation pits (damn ultras are hard to tech to), mixing up ovies and corruptors, killing my own units with attack move. GOD DAMN I hate that stupid mengsk statue on Meta

I do this with corrupters and overlords. Whenever I want to make corrupters I always go "wtf are they" and then realize that I'm past 200 on supply limit

Haha, i do this with Zerglings while i'm in crysis mode sometimes. I'll be like "SHIT NEED LINGS FAST!!!!" and proceed to press 4-s-ddddddd and rally them so they can take on the threat.

Always squeaking out extra drones isn't always a good skill to have. Rofl.

You can disable that by making the menu bars un-clickable.

My favorite misclick was when I was 4-gating. I accidentally made a 5th gateway and proceeded to cancel it. I select it, press Escape, and then watch four warping-in gateways explode. I accidentally CTRL + selected the unneeded 5th gate.

Today I learned that "R" is not the hotkey for mutalisks.

I tend to mix up B and H. There's nothing quite as frustrating as knowing exactly what the enemy has and knowing it'll be easy to hold as son as hydras come out, onyl to die horribly waiting for them with a second hatch in the main.

Wow, it's so odd that this thread was made. Yesterday I was up 170 food to 95 on Xel'Naga Caverns. I had the game won (it was a TvT), and instead of using auto-turret with my raven, I accidentally stimmed 5 times. It was a horrible slaughter, but luckily, I had a planetary at the gold and 17 barracks. I still remacrod and won, but wow, it scared me.

In a ZvT my opponent ran some lings in to my natural as a last ditch effort to do some damage to me. Unfortunately, I had a planetary fortress there and it mopped them up pretty handily, but I still sent units to go fend it off in case he ran up my ramp. He managed to get the PF in to yellow, and around the time the attack was over I attack moved my MM behind the building to help and then went back to macro'ing. I come back to re-hotkey the units I used to help the PF and my PF was gone. Thankfully, I still won the game as I had the rest of the map. I checked the replay afterwords and I had targeted the PF with my force that was supposed to help it =X

The two worst are:

(1) Building overlords instead of corrupters and losing hilariously to collosi.

(2) Rightclicking the thor instead of the marines with your banelings.
