Oops, forgot to add an explanation on mine... Basically wheelin in my buddys backyard and decided to cross a stream without checking the depth of water on the condition of the bottom. The bottom of the stream consisted of 2-3 feet of loose sediment.

So basically just plain stupidity on my part lol.

i got my first YJ stuck in a ditch the day after i bought it because the vacuum disconnect went bad and it was like 2 a.m. so i see a Tahoe coming down the road and i start getting out to flag him down......... and its a cop! so he comes up and is like "what are you two doin?" and my wife (g/f at the time) is like "what does it look like were doin?" and he gets all pissed, so im like "sir, can you please pull me out my 4WD wont engage?" and he just crosses his arms and says "nope." "and you better hurry up and figure something out or im going to have to give you a ticket for distubing the peace." so i call my buddy that lives a few miles away and hes all drunk and drives down there (he was 18) with a case of beer in the passenger seat of the truck. so he starts spinin' his wheels on the wet grass, then he drives over on the asphalt and hooks up to the front and his headlights are shining into someones house and the guy comes out in his boxers screamin at the top of his lungs"TURN YOUR F-IN LIGHTS OFF!!!" and my buddy just hits the gas and pulls me and the dude just stops and says "damn now thats a Chevy!" and goes back inside. and i look over and the cop is just drivin off. not exactly the worst stuck but it looked pretty grim for a while and its funny. hahaha
