My favorite gankfail was the female human rogue who repeatedly tried to gank me throughout my time of levelling my priest.
First in Desolace (Fear, SW:P, Mindflay; Mind Blast, Mindflay, Dead), then in STV (as above), then in Tanaris (again), then in Ungoro.
At this point I respecced out of shadow and became easy meat, but the fact that the stupid 'tard kept coming back for more every time was easily the funniest thing. I never once initiated the fights and she would die 3 or 4 times before I would get bored and leave the area. Guess it must be depressing to loose consistently to a shadowpriest 1-2 levels lower than you.
Now as holy I can do nothing but /golfclap in SoR form to show how impressed I am that a rogue/feral druid (or mage&lock together) has killed a holy priest.
On the flip side, I once had a feral druid try to gank me on my rogue and realise that he didn't stand a chance, so he popped travel form and ran for it. I sprinted after him in time to see him turn cat and stealth, but (like our rogue friend above) he had a vanity pet out, so I stealthed round behind him and ripped him a new one :D
Lesson is, if you're a stealther, never take your vanity pet out ganking.

I don't know why, but everytime I try to do the Ring of Blood quests, someone always tries to gank us, and always fail miserably. If you try to gank someone and they kill you until you're on respawn CD while they keep going with those quests, you might want to try something else...
I've wiped a group of 5 by myself on that event, man that ^&*! was fun XD

Can't remember why, but I had my tank gear (bear suit) on for some reason. Long story short, I end up flagged, wearing a surprise rogue. Guy kept me locked down a long time too. That part went something like this:
Rogue misses.
Rogue hits you for 108.
Rogue misses.
Rogue hits you for 79.
Rogue crits you for 188.
Rogue misses.
Repeat for a while.
Well he must have run out of lockdown juice. I hit him with one Mangle, it crit, and I was at full health again. Now its my turn! You can guess the rest. Yes I played. There were bear charges, a cyclone just for the heck of it, some roots, the whole tamale. I did eventually kill him, but it was kind of hard with all the laughing.

I was up in the plague lands on the toon that would become my main on a new server at the time a level 54 mage. I'm up by the lake herbing and questing running along the hills that border the lake. As I harvest an herb a level 62 warrior charges me from behind and knocks my health to under 50%. I'm stunned and he's wailing away. When the stun fades,I frost nova, blink, and start the poly as my health drops from (I assume) bleeds. I double poly him and catch him as he trinkets. Then, at about 10% health, its over the hill into the lake and swim under water along the bottom to the far end. Hide heal, mana up and continue with my questing.
Really must make some people feel good ganking someone 8 levels below you, but not that time.

Oo Oo I have another one!
Thanks to KingAnubis7 for reminding me of how a foolish Dranei Warr tried to gank my Troll Frost Mage in between Arathi Highlands and Alterac Mountains.
I was literally on the border of the 2 zones, blinking my way to Hammerfall, around lvl 27 (with lots of tailor made PvE frost damage gear and about 750hp) when a lvl 29 Dranei Warr ran past me in the opposite direction.
As I have target-of-target on, I saw that she had targetted me, so I kept my camera on her, but kept running as I wasn't really up for PvP.
Sure enough, I got charged. As soon as the charge stun wore off I just frost nova'd and blinked, then spammed frostbolt. The poor warr didn't stand a chance and, despite her best attempts, couldn't even get close enough for a hamstring.
She died a frosty death, so I waved goodbye and carried on my way :D
I also remember getting on the boat in Booty Bay on my way back to Kalimdoor to hand in the Warsong Supplies quest and get my nice leather boots for my Belf Rogue. There was a Human Warrior 2 levels higher who decided to pick a fight with me once we zoned in, but before the ship had docked. Ironically I got the hits in when the guards noticed us, so they pwned me instead.
Kinda pi$$ed off by the way I'd been set up, I stalked the guy deep into the barrens and ripped him apart.
I then left him, only to come across him later in Ashenvale and rip him apart again.
I must have made that poor kid's life hell as, every time I saw him, I felt obliged to kill him. After all, if he hadn't been cowardly enough to start a fight on the boat, knowing I would get pwned, then I would have had a fair fight with him and left it at that.
One of my best failed gank memories was a Nelf Warrior who tried to take out my Shadow Priest while I quested in Desolace. I was in my mid 30s and he was 40.
Even so, despite his level advantage, I was able to use mindflay and fear to bring him down.
The greatest irony was that, rather than get mad and keep trying to gank me, the guy had the dignity to realise that he wouldn't beat me again. When he ressed, he simply waved at me and left me alone. It was the most honourable thing I have ever seen done by a player of the opposing faction.

This one was kind of funny to me... Not technically a gank though. I was playing a level 61 Human Warlock. I was doing the Honor Hold daily PvP quest capturing the points, and I was on my last one, Overlook. I was up on the ramparts, and it was late at night and I hadn't seen a soul the whole time. I really had to go to the bathroom before I could capture Overlook, so I threw caution to the wind and made a quick run to the bathroom. Just as I was exiting my room I hear the sounds of someone blasting me, I race back to my PC and see that a level 66 Shadow Priest is melting my face off.
Luckily I had my Felhunter up, so I jump back into my chair and Howl, start laying DoTs and heal myself back up a bit. The fear breaks on him pretty quick and he fears and starts melting my face again. We go back and forth for a few seconds, but it's clear he caught me off guard and I'm in trouble. So I say screw it, my DoTs are still up but I'm going to lose the race to kill him first because I'm almost out of health, so I drain life...
Then something incredible happens. The priest starts walking backwards away from me... and walks himself straight off the edge of the rampart, and falls to his death. Oops, thanks for the honor. ;)
