When I first joined Neopets in july 2001 (I had just turned 13), I adopted a blue zafara with a really nice name (I can't remember what it is anymore) and painted it silver with a PB I won from the fruit machine or an RE. Some time later I received a neomail stating that the zafara was that person's lost pet and they would very much appreciate it if I would give it back to them. They even said that they would reimburse me for the Silver PB with 3000np x_x.
I, being the oblivious newbie that I was back then, totally believed them and sent them a neomail saying that I put the pet back in the pound for them, which I did. Of course, neither of us won out on that deal >_>. I remember that the person that did get my zaffy was very inattentive to it

There was this one time when I first started and I was trying to log in to Neopets. My password wouldn't work. And I tried over and over as well as other variations of my password, but I still wouldn't log in. So I tried to retrieve my password by having it emailed to me, but I couldn't log into my email account either. I freaked thinking some REALLY GOOD hacker had gotten hold my entire account as well as my emails and such. I almost created a new account, but when I typed in my supposed "username" that I wanted...
...you'd probably guessed it by now...I had CAPS LOCK on.
Then there was this other time when I got my new Usul and I wanted to paint it Strawberry. I even named it Cute_lil_Merry_Berry. So I saved up for a Strawberry paintbrush and eventually bought it and painted my Usul. A few weeks later, I decided I liked Flotsams better because I like underwater-themed stuff. So I abandoned my newly painted Usul for a blue Flotsam because the color was very close to my favorite color violet. I checked for my Usul a week later and found that she had been adopted and the owner had painted it skunk!!
But I checked on my Usul just the other day, and now she's back to Strawberry. That lucky lucky Usul...being painted so many times...
(And I did all that books disappearing, clothes not being worn, makeup not working, numbers in names, and estimated pricing stuff too)

I can't really remember anything too embarrassing I did as a newbie, but I created my first account about 4 years ago so it's hard to remember. I know I accidently clicked on the wrong country when I signed up, though, and I always put everything in my shop really cheap. I remember when I first got past 10k in Neopoints, I got really excited and thought I was rich.

haha...I've done the CAPS LOCK thing so many times, I can't count it. My laptop doesn't have a little light or warning or anything to let me know it's on, so I find out the hard way every time.

Ah yeah, I did that too. Good times.

two weeks after joining, at the Auction House...
"OMG! a mega-cheap, super-rare paintbrush....plushie? huh?"

I can identify with the people who bought from malls without knowing about shop wiz. I wasn't really ashamed of it, though, because that's how you learn. I still haven't figured out who the mall customers actually are! It might be the uber-rich, but then mallers are apparently the richest in Neopia.

Hmm I can really only think of one neoshameful moment. So, I had a pea chia pop which I was saving to use for when I found a super attack pea lender. Finally, one day I found a lender. I went and got my pea chia pop and fed it to my pet. Catch was is that in all of the excitement I'd forgotten to morph my pet (which was a shoyru at the time) into a chia first. So all it did was feed my pet and count as a gourmet food. I was a bit unhappy and embarrassed to say the least xD.

when I first started I was probably about 12 or 13 (I could do the math, my original account is still active.... but I'm lazy). Anyway, I thought the Shops button would bring me to actual stores and I was so afraid I was going to wind up accidently running up a huge bill on who knows what that I didn't see the shops page for the first two weeks I played!
