stalemated my dad when i had 5 pawns and two rooks vs a king and a pawn.
I moved my queen bc my bishop was able to ‘catch it’ to where my other bishop could also ‘catch it’ and freaked out thinking I was going to lose my queen. There’s probably been worse but this is the only one I can remember right now.

Your opponent didn’t have the respect to remind you to press your clock? That’s a cheap win for your opponent.
Making three queens without knowing it's checkmate after one move

You could do much stupid things in chess. What is your most stupid thing in chess?❓
I knew the King not castling was really bad - having it stuck in the middle. So when attacked, I refused to 'break rank' and use my King to take a piece back. I did that THREE times - lost THREE pieces (two Knights and a Rook, if I recall) in a single game and all three could have been easily taken by my King but it would not budge of its square. Why do you think I'm the donkey?
I've tried to block that game from my memory of stupidity. 
In truth, I suspect it's one of the most important to remember; seems things work out that way.

Quit Chess
Heck no, I won't quit. How about YOU quit!? 
EDITED: Wait ... did you mean the worst thing you did was quit chess? If so, why are you here? Text words on digital media can sure cause misunderstandings!
