I seriously feel like I just went full retard a moment ago.

So, I'm hunting those serpent eggs on my lock. I mounted up, thinking I hit my Headless Horseman mount....and ran off the cliff to fly to the next. Except I was going down and couldn't go up. I start wondering "Why am I not going up?" Just before I hit the ground....I notice I was on my Dreadsteed.

I must be all sorts of special to not notice I wasn't on my HH mount....even moreso to not even notice until I went splat.

*proceeds to put on the cone of shame*

One can ride only so many demonic glowing fiery horses before they all start to look the same.

I know right?

I'm not really sure if I should cry or laugh....or both....

They fool ya by flappin their lil wings!

"I believe I can--OHGOD!"

I can one up this. I'm leveling my Draenei Mage in Netherstorm with my at the time boyfriend on his Rogue. I mounted up on my elekk.. Thinking it was my gryphon.. Hah.. Nope, I jumped and fell into forever and died and he's dying on vent all like "LOL THAT'S AN ELEKK NOT DUMBO!!!". I literally just did a /facedesk.. It was rough.

I did this once or twice. Once I started using litemounts I stopped having to worry about that though.... unless I completely forget that i'm on a toon without flying. >_>

Once upon time, during Burning Crusade... I learned Talbuks can't fly. :C

I've done that so many times with my ravenlord, thinking I am on a flying bird...right off the cliff. hit my traveler mammoth a few times and went splat, thinking I'd hit my serpent.

No, Talbuks cannot fly, no matter how many times I've tried to teach mine...it never ends well.

Hah! That's a good one. XD

When I was on Taluwen back when she was a lowbie. She was in Thousand Needles. I was on one of the high cliffs. I mounted up and my green strider just ran off to the side and right off the cliff, flappin it's wings....needless to say....it didn't work so well.

I think I just started CSA(Cliff Splatters Anonymous). XD

Best quote ever.

Anyways, I used to try to fly so often on the wrong mounts I cannot count the number of times I did it.

I eventually just started keybinding my mounts the same way on all of my toons.
D:Travel form or a land mount
F: Flying mount
G: Mount that is both land/fly
H: Land mount

Now I rarely try to fly on my triceratops (though my hunter has done it a few times), because my flying mount is always going to be keybound to F or G. If I want variety, I just use the mount random macro and put it on one of those keys-make a land only version and a flight version.

I've jumped off the top of the horde base in the starter zone in northrend on my alt on a flying mount...forgetting about cold weather flying which he did not have.

I don't remember having much problems with forgetting that I'm not on a flying mount. Maybe because whenever I'm on a flyer, I compulsively press Space to fly just above the ground. If I were on a non-flyer, I'd find out about it much sooner.

I did that on one of the peaks of Kun lai summit, was doing pet battles, thought I clicked on my cenarian hippogryph mount........ran.....jumped.........down down down......dead, it was my hawkstrider haha.

Not sure why I thought my chopper could fly off Dalaran...but there you go.

i actually did this today .. i was on my polar bear and almost hit the ground ..luckily im an engineer and popped my glider just in time

I did this once back when BC came out.

Me and my mate were on each others accounts for some odd reason. I mounted his ground mount instead of his flyer by mistake and went running off the edge of Hellfire as he went "NOOOOOOOOOO" in vent. It was so bad. xD

Now though, I find myself flinging myself off my flyers on my hunter, forgetting I'm not on my druid. It happens at least once a week. So annoying x.x

As I've been leveling in Pandaria, I've done this a lot. Ofc, it doesn't help that I have a random mount macro, and it insists on counting hippogryphs and griffons in it... I forgot mine apparently had their wings clipped. :U

I've done this as well.
Mistook Fiery Warhorse and HH... though it was on my level 87 DK in Pandaria, so she couldn't fly either way u.u

Oh I have done that many a time. Another good one is flying really high, going to talk in guild chat...and forgetting to hit enter before I start typing....only to cast a spell and find myself falling XD
