Dumb ways to fail in chess and how to do it!

List all the dumb ways to lose or draw (foolishly) in chess!

(example: Deep Fritz vs. Vladimir Kramnik 2006, 34... Qe3??)
i'll start!
1. Stalemate opponent's king with your queen in king and queen vs. king endgame
If that last example had been Bullet all would have been forgiven. :D
Qf7 intended instead of Qe7, perhaps?
@QBall That's why I uploaded the game into this thread. Watch and learn how to draw the K+Q+N vs K endgame!
@Mondayhater Looks like you have learned from this game and will not do this mistake again.
Accidentally moving your queen to the wrong square and hanging it (LOL I did that in correspondence once).
