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:

  • Pasting stuff into Nethack unless you are sure what is in the clipboard
  • 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
  • Eating old corpses
  • Strength training by overburdening your self
  • Wielding a cockatrice corpse while burdened and deciding to go down stairs
  • 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.
  • Killing a nymph with a force bolt
  • Killing the Wizard of Yendor before collecting seven candles for the invocation ritual
  • Picking up non-identified gray stones (identification is done by first kicking and then rubbing the stone on an iron object)
  • 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
  • Using fountains and sinks at a low level
  • Kicking doors when there is a store somewhere on the floor. Even if the doors are locked.
  • Genociding @.
