Breaking Bad: 10 Worst Things Jesse Pinkman Has Ever Done

7. Leading Hank To The RV

Now, this is more a series of bad decisions rather than a single f**k up, but they all reflect just how reckless Jesse was in Season 3. The first misstep in this enterprise of bad moves came when he drove out to cook meth in the RV, and didn't have any money for gas on the way home. In order to get home, he gives the gas station cashier a baggie of meth in exchange for fuel, and goes his merry way.

Of course, that meth then makes it into the hands of a junkie who's busted by the cops, which arouses the suspicion of Hank, as this is the first time the blue stuff has turned up in Albuquerque for months. He traces it back to the gas station and manages to pull a snap of the RV.

Eventually he figures out it's Jesse who owns the vehicle, and stakes out his house. Walt becomes aware of this and tries to dispose of the vehicle... before Jesse accidentally leads him to it (which he does after thinking Walt is trying to put him out of business).

If he'd just been more cautious, Walt wouldn't have to have faked Marie's hospitalisation that allowed the two to escape, and avoided the beat down Hank gives him.
