Reloading small amount of ammo even though I know shit will hit the ground soon.
[QUOTE=Blackbird88;32268767]Reloading small amount of ammo even though I know shit will hit the ground soon.[/QUOTE] Oh god I know. Kill scout who was coming at me with a FaN, turn corner, reload, A FUCKING HUNTSMAN SNIPER.
[QUOTE=Ian;32274899]Oh god I know. Kill scout who was coming at me with a FaN, turn corner, reload, A FUCKING HUNTSMAN SNIPER.[/QUOTE] Considering you didn't waste all of your ammo on the Scout, you can interrupt the reloading animation by shooting. Also you can surprise Huntsman snipers around corners by crouching, with some luck their shot will completely miss.

[QUOTE=E.C.S;32254690]Spychecking players using his secondary weapon.[/QUOTE]A good spy has the binds to change his weapon for his disguise.
Uncloaking in front of someone.
OH NO AN ENEMY FIRE ROCKETS OOPS OUTTA ROCKETS FIRE OFF RESERVE SHOOTER OKAY RELOAD ROCKET LAUNCH-OH FUCK ANOTHER ENEMY SWITCH TO SHOTGUN NO BOOLET every time.
Forgetting my controls when I change them. Like recently I made M4 primary weapon, M5 secondary, R melee, and M3 reload. Sucks so bad when I stab-n-sap.
Thinking you're disguised as a spy and going into the battlefield and uncloaking to try not act suspicious, then realizing you're not disguised as a spy.
Sometimes I walk around undisguised on accident too. Then I see a nice old unattended sentry nest. It didn't end very well for me.
I have problems with uncloaking. sometimes I walk into someone thinking I'm uncloaked, or try to sap a nest while cloaked.
I get lost on every map. Including Harvest and Convoy.
[QUOTE=Black;32277879]Uncloaking in front of someone.[/QUOTE] More like the person you're about to backstab never turns around except for the EXACT MOMENT WHEN YOU UNCLOAK.
activate dead ringer. oh, okay nobody shooting at me, time to deactivate. get shot just as you press M2. cloak drops to 50%, you emit a loud sound and most likely die.
Accidentally jumping into Rockets.

Standing nearly still when a rocket comes at you :downs:
Looking at that crocket I just can't stop staring, I don't even try to move its just s
Healing the enemy spy that then takes out your heavy. Happens from time to time.
[QUOTE=Ian;32281673]More like the person you're about to backstab never turns around except for the EXACT MOMENT WHEN YOU UNCLOAK.[/QUOTE] That actually makes sense, since most likely they could hear the uncloaking noise, I hate when I uncloaked more than thirty feet away from say a Heavy and as soon as I get like two feet behind him he suddenly turns around and shoots me dead.
-Attempt to capture point. -Enemy sentry on point. -Get killed. -Try to capture point again, knowing that there's a sentry there. -Get killed again.
Being an obvious Dead Ringer. It's sometimes hard for me to blend in.
Forgetting to turn my back around time to time to spycheck and i suddenly get backstabbed and it scares the shit out of me.

Switching classes a lot instead of sticking with one of them and going with it. Conversely, I sometimes stick with one class when the situation really doesn't merit it, e.g. I'll play Pyro when there's no chance of me getting into close range combat.
Maybe the occasional slip-ups when trying to move as smoothly and fluently as possible with Scout or something. Other than that.. don't know
I have a tendency to walk on top of my own grenades as a demoman.
In arena_lumberyard theres a healthvial on a log and a pit below it. I always fall down and i always try to get the bitch.
Trying to use the new Engi shotgun, while I keep telling myself "Maybe I will get lucky shots and have infinite ammo!" even though I suck at combat engi.
[QUOTE=Blackbird88;32268767]Reloading small amount of ammo even though I know shit will hit the ground soon.[/QUOTE] reloading animations don't make you unable to fire since one patch a long time ago. there is thus absolutely NO drawback to leaving "always reload automatically" in the advanced multiplayer options :p
