Bad Idea
Many things in NetHack are a Bad Idea, although that often only becomes apparent after your demise, which may well be YASD.
A few bad ideas include :
- Casting force bolt while in a shop
- Picking up items in shops while afflicted with Teleportitis
- Teleporting the Riders' corpses
- Eating "just one more" giant corpse/royal jelly
- Strength training by over burdening your self
- Wielding a cockatrice corpse while burdened
- Walking around while blind, without gloves
- Letting that monster hit you just one more time before you heal yourself
- Breaking a drawbridge while standing adjacent to it
- Having your wand of wishing in your main inventory instead of a bag
- Putting a wand of cancellation or a bag of tricks into your bag of holding
- Walking around with a cockatrice corpse wielded. Levitation is safe, as long as you don't pass over a sink
- Sacrificing at a cross-aligned altar while having bad alignment record
- Killing a co-aligned unicorn, breaking a mirror, etc
- Picking up non-identified gray stones (identification is done by first kicking and then rubbing the stone on an iron object)
- Killing the Wizard of Yendor before collecting seven candles for the invocation ritual
- Reading a scroll of genocide while confused
- Throwing your highly enchanted metal daggers at a metallivore.
- Slowly engraving more than 1 letter of Elbereth at once while under attack
