Some players distinguish YASD from YAAD, using YAAD or [[DYWYPI]] for random, unavoidable events such as falling onto [[trap#.5E_Spiked pit|poison spikes]] (provided the [[pit]] wasn't already known, of course), and reserving YASD for pilot error. Amusingly enough, YASDs can happen to [[monster]]s as well, such as them bouncing a beam off a wall back to themselves. |

- Touching/eating/fighting while bare handed/otherwise manipulating a cockatrice, its corpse, or its egg
- Drowning in water or lava
- Genociding oneself
- Eating rotten food after recently praying
- Eating something you shouldn't eat (Medusa's corpse - "hey, there's a melon on the ground!")

- Wandering near a known giant eel/kraken position
- Death by Boredom
