I was questing in The Storm Peaks saving the lost spirits of the Forefathers, and as I was blowing the horn I realised that I had a fly on me.
No, not in real life, but a Rogue. A level 80 Rogue had decided to take me down just seconds after I had fought a valiant battle... Honorless... And a bit stupid as I still had Icebound Fortitude on me (and the amazingly bright glow that Blizzard makes visible to everyone in the game saying: "THIS DEATH KNIGHT IS UNSTUNNABLE! DO NOT ATTACK HIM ROGUES! WE LOVE YOU!"
But hey, I had fun watching him take down 1k - 1.5k (from a pool of 23.5k), and I turned around, looked at him and then turned around again to rescue another poor, lost soul. As he stealthed away (and perhaps cried), giving up, I laughed (/lol) and carried on with my Death Knighty business.
Thank you, blind Rogue, for giving me so much fun!

I was on my dk being very bored so I went to TM and start fishing near there. I decided I wanted to cool off so I took off my hot armor and just put on a shirt and some low lvl pants. This 30 Pally runs up and seeing a horde that looks weak starts beating on me. SO I turn and 1 shot him with my fishing pole. no strikes or anything. Gotta love

I know this thread is like 5 years old but reading it brought back some fun memories from the BC days I want to share.
1. I was leveling my mage in Ashenvale doing an escort quest on the Zoram Strand. 3 alliance about my level wanted to be jerks so they kept killing my mob. I waited for them to leave, but they were having fun messing with me so they were going nowhere. They killed the fishing trainer which flagged them, so I start lobbing fireballs at them. They think that now's their chance to kill me, so all three rush me as I casually hop back into Zoram'gar. By the time they get to me, all the npcs in the town rush them and kill them.
2. I was in Feralas on my 70 rogue, I forget why but I happen upon a lower level guy trying to do quests, with a flagged draenei shaman about his level taunting him. I'm thinking, ally are not this bold unless their friends are about, so I knew there was a rogue or druid nearby. I whisper the guy and ask if the draenei was bothering him, and he said yes. I told him not to worry, I got this. He told me about the rogue, I said, I know. So I stealth and kill the draenei, then stand there and wait for the rogue to attack. Sure enough 70 nelf rogue tries to stunlock me. I pop my trinket, blind her, and vanish. I sap her a couple of times to mess with her, and then teach her a lesson about stunlocking. When she's almost dead, I just start hopping around and let the dots finish her off. Then we have a laugh at their dead bodies. They let their flags drop and res, then salute me with respect. I salute them back, and head on my merry way.
3. This one is kind of long but so gratifying. I get home from work one day, and my brother hollers at me that he needs some help. I go to his room, and he says there was a 70 alliance druid following around his lower level pally he was leveling, just being a jerk. So I say, no problem... I get on my mage and head that way, and tell my bro to try and get the druid to flag. After I land at Tarren Mill and get over to them, sure enough the druid is flagged, so out comes the water elemental and I start firing frostbolts. I knew the first thing he would do is try to run, so once I got off the first frostbolt cast ranged frost nova, and after that used a netherweave net. Finished him off pretty easily. The next 30-45 minutes I went druid hunting, and killed him a few more times. He must have been getting upset because he starts calling in for reinforcements. Next thing I knew, there were about two other 70s, and a bunch of level 40-50 toons all coming after me. I retreat back into Tarren Mill, and they follow. The NPCs and I continue to kill them, but before I knew it there were like 15 alliance toons coming after me. I retreat into one of the buildings, and go up into the top floor to eat/drink. They keep coming, one at a time. I have to stop eating to kill a dwarf, then when he's dead a draenei comes in, and the cycle repeats. Eventually they get the idea that there is strength in numbers, and all 15ish come in after me. They finally killed me, and they were oh-so-proud. They teabagged me and danced upon my corpse. I knew they would wait for me to res, so I went just outside the building and ressed. I knew they would come after me once they saw my body turn to bones, so as they were running down the stairs and out of the building, I cast invisibility and run right past them back into the building. I finally get to eat and drink in peace as they run around outside looking for me, and I hang out in there until my flag drops. I go back outside to see what they're up to, and they are being cocky since they killed me (a raid group to kill one dude, but I digress). They taunt me and try and get me to reflag, but I just start dancing with them instead. My brother was watching the whole time, and I start to explain to him that they will do something stupid, and I'm following them to take advantage of it when they do. As soon as I said that, they attack the bat handler. I target their tank and burn him down with frostbolts, and then take the other two 70s down while their hands are full. Then I just aoe the rest of the raid group down, relatively easily with the bat handler's help. So I return the teabagging and dancing favor, to all 15ish of them.
I miss the BC days.

Just yesterday I was questing through the Southern Barrens on a level 34 BM Hunter, full BoA with all the best-scaling enchants. I went AFK at Desolation Hold, in a little subdivision off the southern wall in front of a Forsaken NPC questgiver, not realizing that this area is unguarded from the West. I stepped away from my computer and went to make some dinner, every few minutes I'd return and hit the spacebar to jump a few times to avoid getting logged out.
Ten to 15 minutes later I come back to the computer with a delicious cheeseburger in hand and what do I see but an unfriendly Frost Mage's Water Elemental just chilling right next to my afk Hunter. As I sit down and set my plate on the table, I can see a little level 32 Gnome Mage standing just out of my attack range in the distance, strafing left then right, making little micro-adjustments in preparation to burst down my afk Hunter and run away with a free kill.
Just as my hands get free the Mage steps forward into range and I target him. He starts to cast something as I hit Kill Command, and the squishy little Mage dies in one GCD. I realize that my pet's auto-attacks would have most likely been enough to kill him even if I hadn't come back, but I still got a kick out it. Not the funniest ever, but fresh in my memory.
Playing low-level alts on PvP servers with full BoA and the best enchants gives you a lot of fun experiences... people just love to attack Boomkins questing out on the world, I had at least a couple experiences leveling mine where two Alliance players decided to gang up on me at once but couldn't even come close to out-bursting my self-heals, so I took them both out in spite of having almost no pvp experience or much skill.

Has to be during WOTLK, leveling my Dk in a pvp server, this gnome rogue approaches me and goes into stealth. I brace for the inevitable gank, Rogue uses Ambush........... and it barely even nicked me :P
He learned the hard way that some classes you just dont gank. Killed him in 3 hits, didn't even went below 95% life.

While i was in Krasarang Wilds doing my dailies and some mining, 2 Allies decided to kill me. I may be on a PVP server, but I do not PVP. All I can say is if you are going to kill someone, it would be wise to see if they are WAY more geared than you are. 2 clothys against a geared Ret Pally ... let's just say it did not end well for them.... twice.

I don't usually PvP much.
But I recently leveled another Warlock, and as I wanted to get the classic T5 PvP set I figured doing the Isle of Thunder dailies for a while would be a good way to start off as a 90.
Plus I was hoping for the Tome to drop to eventually learn green fire.
Of course at this point the the game there are very few people doing the Isle, and generally PvPers from both factions seem to let each other alone.
However this day was different, I'd just picked up the crystal that gives you a buff, but you also need to return, and in the process aggroed one of those fugly swamp beasts.
Suddenly I was death gripped onto the path, where a DK proceeded to wail on me.
I dotted him up, feared him and popped my Terrorguard.
Keeping him at distance I made extremely easy work of this guy, thought no more about it and went about my dailies.
I was heading back to the base, when I saw my old friend again, this time he was in combat attacking a Belf guard, so decided to return the compliment knowing this was probably going to be an easy fight set my demon on him.
This time however he was not alone, As I attacked him a hunter set his pet on me.
Knowing the DK would take a few moments to kill the npc's I ran towards him a little further into the base out of LoS of the hunter.
The hunter followed and immediately aggroed a group of guards. which made him very easy to finish off. Then in rushed the DK again, once more guards attacked him and I finished him off, giving his corpse a friendly hug.
I headed back and handed in my quests, and was just thinking about logging off when I was whispered by a very irate person.
You can probably guess at the language used as he proceeded to call me all kinds of names, especially for using the npcs.
I laughed, reported and logged off.
I love it when you can impact someone so much that they log out, create a level 1 character on your faction and cuss you out.

a blood coin collecter and his friends on the isle tried to harvest me while after i accidentally tagged him getting huolon.
i pulled those two eternal kiln masters and kept moving such that i dodged the fire lines and kept getting them hit, specially with the kiln put down. they got slaughtered before my half my 2nd evasion was even complete and i went on my merry way.
i once tried this with those rock giants below. But we all died.
