Person A: My roommate was playing Grand Theft Auto the other day, but it was his first time playing a game in the series. That part became clear when he tried stealing the first parked car he saw... only to immediately get a wanted level because there was a police car nearby that he somehow didn't notice.
Person B: Talk about a rookie mistake.

Falling in love with a girl prematurely.
"Man! Look at that idiot! He fell for that slut after one night! She totally blew him off!"

The act when someone makes a mistake that is so stupid, he is considered a rookie at it. The person must be called a rookie until the event is forgotten about, which in most cases takes a long time. Sucks for the rookie.
Person 1: Whats a rookie mistake?
Person 2: Thats a rookie mistake for not knowing what a rookie mistake was!
Person 1: Ahh man!
Person 2: Thats a rookie mistake for not knowing what a rookie mistake was!
