When you first started playing minecraft, what were some of your noobiest minecraft experiences? What kinds of mistakes did you make? What were some misconceptions you had? Share your stories here!

I had 50 "Survive and Thrive" videos under my belt before the game was released.
The noobiest things I suppose I ever did was trying features that weren't yet implemented in TU1 such as breeding.
When I started playing the 360 edition I didn't know that Iron Golems weren't added yet. Built an entire 4 cell Iron Golem farm just to find out that nothing happened. Villagers couldn't even breed yet.
When I started out, I seemed to not realize the value of armor. Needless to say, I died a lot. I did avoid digging straight down though.
Also, I built my house at the spawn. It was right as I started and I had no idea about what was what and no one told us differently... so I built. As did about everyone else.
Back at tu7 (On the demo) I discovered a village, but for some reason, I was afraid of the villagers. I hit one, then ran away back into the forests. I also tried to kill enderman with bows. Then when i got the full game, i though silverfish were actual fish, and I got really excited when a cow rode around in my minecart track.
When I first started playing MC, it was about 3 year ago now and it was the PC version. I don't recall being too bad of a noob the first go around. But when I came back to it...LOL. Noob-apalooza. And it was't simply because I switched to Xbox. I think that's due to two main issues: 1) I assumed since I had played it before that I still knew the game, and I wasn't aware of the many changes and additions to the game and 2) I'm getting old and the ugly truth is, I just don't pick up things as easily as I once did.
The first total noob moment I had was in my very first Xbox game: as I had tried out the PE version before getting the Xbox, I completely stressed out over not being able to figure out how to build a stonecutter in the Xbox version.
Then I got stuck in sneak mode and thought the game had glitched on me.
Then shortly after that: "Oh hey, look at that over there! Is that some sort of well? That's new. Oh crap, I fell in! How the bleep do I get out???" (desperately clicks random buttons on the controller, gets stuck in sneak mode again, dies)
And all the sheep I hit and villagers I punched before I remembered which button to click to shear wool or open the trade dialogue.
Then there was the time I built my first cactus farm and didn't leave enough space between it and the adjacent sugar cane farm so I nearly killed myself harvesting the sugar cane.
Then there was that time I was mining clay underwater, opening up a cavern and nearly drowning by the current sucking me in.
And the time I built a fancy, snazzy boat dock that the boat couldn't steer into.
And all the really long falls I took while building something overly ambitious before realizing that you couldn't fall while in sneak mode.
And that time I was running around with a compass in my hand trying to figure out how to read it, not realizing it points to your spawn point and not north (I don't remember having a compass in my old PC version).
Yes, I remember my neighbor coming into my world and burning the trees for the fun of it. I told him not to do it but he just told me that there was plenty of them. I got irritated but I begrudgingly let him burn trees until he poured a bucket of lava down a mining cave. I then panicked and exited the world and came back to avoid any damage. I didn't realize that the lava wasn't going to do anything harmful and that it was actually not as bad it seemed at the time. Now looking back I feel like an whenever I think about it.
I remember the very first time I played I was in survival trying to recreate this structure from modern warfare 3 and i died getting wood with my fist. I never found where i started to build it and deleted the world, telling myself I would never play this game again...
when i first started i thought the chest and arrow pointing down that pops up meant there was treasure below so everytime i saw it i dug down but no treasure

Oh the list could go on...
