I wouldn't consider these particularly embarrassing but:

1. I've completely obsessed with collecting dice to the point that I'll never be able to sit down and count them all...

2. I have half a bookshelf filled with rulebooks that I've never read and likely won't ever get around to reading.

3. My characters are often more of a danger to the party than the most powerful enemies.

4. I often roll dice to pick my spells.

5. I buy roughly 10 miniatures for each of my characters so that I can visually equip them with different gear (or sometimes I'll break off limbs to represent damage).

74. Let's just say that it isn't a great idea to cook and eat an Axe Beak if one of the party members seems to be missing and you're in a region where that particular animal is very uncommon.
I will say in my defence that a Polymorphed Halfling-Axe Beak tastes exquisite when fried over an open fire.

65. Due to a major accident while using a teleportation spell, me and my party are no longer on the same plane of existence.

Tonight I'm listening to my playlist of music from OverClocked Remix (remixes of music from video games, link added for the curious).

I've haven't walked out on a DM yet (hopefully I'll never need to), nor have I had anyone walk out on my games. Our current group is quite a good bunch for getting along.

In an old group, we collectively stopped playing in a game once and told the DM that if he couldn't do his role properly then someone else will have to take over.
We only did that because the story was getting thrown to one side and it turned into nothing but an endless chain of encounters with no real goal.

I have had to kick a player out once for using feats he shouldn't have had and refused to change them to something more suitable; we started the campaign with characters being made from the core rules and one supplement book, but he decided to use a set of completely different books that we weren't playing from.

A handy thing for a DM do when running a game is to print out a brief list/table of the player's base stats and feats & traits with notes on what they do so they can glance at them for reminders.

Not a one liner, but...

In an adventure with an old group, I played a blind Gnome sorcerer who had minor clairvoyance to sense obstacles within a 4ft radius.
The party was walking through some thick overgrowth when the GM handed me a note that I had tripped and fallen behind a little and to not speak to the party. He then pointed out to the group that nobody was keeping an eye on my Gnome and told the ranger, who had been hacking away at the plants to clear a path, to roll a D20.

Ranger rolls a 1, followed by a 19.
Quickly followed by our GM putting on a look of horror.

GM - "The sounds of nature fall silent as you raise your sword from the entangled undergrowth, you glance down at your sword and notice the crimson red now running off the tip of the blade." (something around those lines)

Everyone suddenly went a little sheepish and looks at each other and then at me.

Ranger - "Oh God, oh God... please don't let that be the Gnome... I'm so sorry!"

Everyone looks at me patiently as I read a second note handed by the GM.

Me - "Thanks for waiting guys; say, has anyone seen my familiar?"

The look of relief on the group's faces was priceless.
The ranger never owned up to killing my familiar in that adventure.

My favourite one liner in an adventure would have to be from our GM where one of the player's character was a master of the elements who had to pray to his Goddess to use his power.

Player - "I call upon you my Goddess, grant me your powers over the elements: Earth, Fire Wind and Water!"

GM - "Heart!" [short pause] "With your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!"

The whole group struggled to keep a straight face whenever he went to use his spells for the rest of the day after that.

I tend to listen to relaxing music when I'm on a forum.
At the moment I'm listening to Helium Vola:
