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:
- Genociding @
- 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 (rotten) corpses
- Strength training by overburdening your self
- Wielding a cockatrice corpse while burdened and deciding to go down stairs
- Walking around with a cockatrice corpse wielded. Levitation is safe, as long as you don't pass over a sink
- Walking around while blind, without gloves
- 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, a bag of tricks, or another bag of holding into your bag of holding
- Sacrificing at a cross-aligned altar while having bad alignment record
- Killing a co-aligned unicorn, breaking a mirror, et cetera...
- 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.
- Letting that monster hit you just one more time before you heal yourself
- Saving the game in the middle of a wish or genocide selection
- Attempting to mount a pony before leveling at least once
- Offering the corpse of a werecreature at an altar as a non-chaotic human character.
- Eating werecreatures, particularly as a human.
- Walking around in the Gnomish Mines before acquiring poison resistance.
- Killing your quest leader
- Killing your quest guardians (probably)
- Eating kittens (or at least, you feel it was)
