UUUGHH!

So you got lectured by a 7 year old. Right.....

My friend pointed out that a chav is basically a human ork lol they speak the same language and everything. If you've seen ali g well thats a chav

Try being a Goth in an area populated with chavs...

NOT fun

Well, sort of. His mom was giving me the evil eye like "If you leave, then I'll find your family and eat them" look. Don't get me wrong, I would have bailed out in a second, but I didn't want to be rude, cause everyone there kind of knew me, so they'd think I was a jerk to small kids or something.
I'm not BSing you or anything, and I only became the rude, grumpy person I am in the past 6 months.

I think I had my most irritating moment this day. I was playing LOTR with a friend when a person walks up to the board, looks at us and ask if we realised that LOTR where for Emos and small kids, and he played Tau...... I felt like strangeling him with Easterling moddels

A tau fire warrior destroyed my dreadnought.

I have copies of the LOTR books that are probably older than him.... damn kids today!!!

Going into the Off-Topic forums on DakkaDakka. I really should just stay out here where the air is fresh.

Yes, damned kids. However the local nid player nomnomed his commie space smurfs

About five years ago I stepped into Hobbytown USA for the first time with my brother-in-law to check out some warhammer stuff. While we were examining some of the warhammer boxes, this very odd, creepy guy came up to us, asked us what army we played and after telling him he went on and on and on about which armies were best, etc. I can't remember most of what he said, but it was very very weird. It's hard to put into words, but I'm sure most of you understand seeing how a lot of your stories are far worse. I had experienced nothing like it before, or since. We left after his 30+ minute lecture, never went back and TBH I have never entered a LGS because of this encounter.
These stories aren't helping my phobia either

I've just stuck to playing with friends/family.

Look for the post by Little lord Fauntleroy.

WOW. I wonder if he does indeed have a scar.

Here's a bit of annoyment from my life:

My entire MTG collection (unlimited and up), 2 giant 40k armies and extensive set of classic RPG material going up in a goddamn fire.

Only thing that survived was my Malifaux stuff. God bless metal minis.

Sorry, but I still don't get why this could have annoyed anyone that much. Being the older (and presumably more mature) person, shouldn't you have put it on yourself to just accept the kid's ramblings as misguided opinions? And where does the mother's evil eye look come into play? As if she had any right to be mad at you for distancing yourself from her child. I think it was more of a matter of you not being able to diffuse the situation quickly yourself, and just leaving the kid be, honestly.

When you got to fart so bad and try to make it quit. Instead it comes out like the horn of Gondor. After that just go with it and shout charge and send in your calvary

Once some Deros came to my GW Store and threatened the Manager.

For me it didn't have anything to do with other players. My most annoying game was a 1500 point game of 40k and my first 3 turns with IG + issuing orders and didnt kill a single guy. I had a leman russ, a basilisk, 3 sentinels, 5 platoons, pltnd cmds and cmpny cmndr.

Sir you appear to have run out of vowels near the end of that sentence...

Hey! Leave Emos out of this.

I've only had a couple bad issues.

With one, it was a game with my IG against his SM's during a league. He know my list ahead of time, I tell him he needs to change a couple things in his list to deal with mine, doesn't do any of them, proceeds to start on the table with 7 AT guns (2 on a Land Raider) total, and then starts whining and complaining and having side converstations in the middle of the game, holding the game up, about how much he dislikes my army and how it isn't fun. Granted, it was a fairly hard list, but he knew what was coming and I'd offered advice, he was playing what basically amounted to one of those 3E example army lists in old codecies with a random smattering of everything and lots of relatively mediocre armed foot troops against a tank heavy IG army designed for 5E.

Another was against a guy, 40something year old dude, who was a known for showing up at every event and having a rules argument every game (and usually being shown wrong) and acting like someone pissed in his cheerios when he lost. He was playing a CSM army with plague marines and 20 nurgle termi's and outright would not play a Daemonhunters player. Well, this day he'd had multiple rules arguments and accused pretty much every single one of his opponents of cheating, gets to my game, pulls a ton of shady crap like arguing his nurgle terminators were fearless, arguing every single cover save (after asserting in multiple games at a previous event this his gaunts gave his Fex's a cover save), etc. Then goes on to complain about the results and the TO on the forums, at which point I call him out, and a community organizer has to step in and take action and the store bans him from future events.

Having teenagers walk into my FLGS, start to laugh and bag people playing a game. Thats when I say "kids your what 14, I am 28 you think I care what you think". Most of them hang their heads in shame and proceed to exit the store quickly.

I feel your pain brother, When people act like this during a game I generally just get up and start to pack my minis away.

This made my night, lol.

This isn't reallly my most annoying moment but just one that annoys me when it happens.

I keep finding that when people try to move vehicles or MC's around the board they will often move them inbetween two terrain pieces. What annoys me is that the rules say that is a models base/hull cannot fit through a space it is to big to go through. When they find the base cannot fit through they start moving the terrain pieces to allow it to fit through and get it where they want between the two terrain pieces. Unless it is a wall on a building or something the will move it further than they should sometimes about 3-4inches from where it actually ended up.

My current most annoying moment was when I was playing a 2v1v1 game my tau vs orks vs grey knights (which hadn't come on yet). I had shot a large unit at a squad or boyz and used a marke light to boos to BS4. I took off the counters and made my rolls. Thinking I ws hitting on 4's I picked up all of my 3's which there was a fair few of. The opponents refused to let me re-roll them and would't even let me put the marke light back on the unit demanding i had used it up and it was my fault which granted it was. So I shrugged it off. But in his turn (this is what peeved me off) then he moved his deffkoptas over a unit of fire warriors and dropped 3 big bombs on them he rolled the scatter and 2d6 they all scattered and 2 of them hit his own units. he then was looking through the codex at da big bomb entry and the said 'oh wait it is only d6 scatter not two' he then picked up the dice and re-rolled all three 2 of which hit the other hiting nothing.

I said he coudn't do that as he didn't let me re-roll my to hit rolls. But he insisted it was the ruels (which it is) and had to re-roll them and he wouldn't listin to what i was saying. We asked an older player (grey knights) and he simply said " I don't want to get involved but if you didn't let him re-roll you shouldn't really do it either". They both still refused to listin. it was really vexing.

Sorry for the rant.
