I make a hospital, but don't pay attention to it's stocks. Later on, I dig up some adamantite. After a lot of extraction, I go to make wafers. There aren't any materials for it.

Even worse, I realize this after mopping up a siege. I look in my hospital to find several soldiers sporting adamantine-thread stitches...

I put my dwarves to work, and all they do is drinking.

And then! Oh yes! Migrants! let`s hope for more work getting started.
But NO! All the migrants walks straight into the kitchen and start chuggin` on them barrels...

I just ordered my miners to remove a part of the hill overlapping to the wall of my fortress without realizing I was creating cave-in situation.
Now one of them lies dead on the ground of the moat.....

I spent a good few years wondering why my mule-breeding program wasn't getting anywhere.
Idiot.

The sad part is that mules in DF arn't sterile - they just are all male.

Fought a forgotten beast.  I was smart enough to install a dwarven bath between the cavern entrance and my fort, so the extract ended up in the bath and not tracked all along my fortress.  Unfortunately, I also have a bunch of dwarves whose clothes have rotted away and they haven't bothered to pick up new ones.  Every so often one of them will traipse through the bath, walk a few paces, and fall unconscious.  This is not usually a big deal.  They get carried back to the hospital, spend a few days there, then get up good as new.  I haven't been very motivated to figure out how to cleanse the bath.

This time, however, a naked miner walked through and passed out on top of a cage trap.  Luckily, the trap was not loaded.

A short amount of time passes and I see this message: Urist McMason cancels recover wounded: Unconscious.  I zoom in and find out that he decided to pass out on a weapon trap.  Lots of mason pieces all over the place.  :(

As I'm facepalming over this, a dwarf comes along and loads the cage trap.  :o

You can also just tap the 's' button once you get the message about not trading. Their stuff still has the [ T ] next to it, so just pinch what you want.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

I order a set of recruits to patrol the edge of the river, to scare large fish into a cluster of cage traps that I built in a now-flooded area beside the river. One of the recruits, a zealous wrestler, decides to leap into the river to punch a fish in the dorsal fin. He can't swim...

....They just refuse to stay down unless butchered, in which case their skins will haunt you until you subdue and tan them. Never has legendary butcher and legendary tanner seemed so valueable as in this release.
