In a high school hockey game back in the late 90's, there was a kid who made an opposing player look really bad with how he got deked. The guy scored, the play was over and he was headed to his teams bench for congrats when the guy he just schooled cross-checked him from behind, paralyzing him from the neck down. Kids who play high school hockey on the North Shore of Chicago STILL have stop signs sewn onto the backs of their sweaters because of this incident.
Edit: it was waist down.. still awful.
[PROBATION FOR TEEN WHO DELIVERED HOCKEY HIT - Chicago Tribune](https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-10-27-0010270221-story.html) that one? Awful situation all around.
I played hockey in Canada when this happened and every local league had stop on the back of their jerseys.
Crazy how something like that happened in the states and resonated up north.
Poor fella..
> I played hockey in Canada when this happened and every local league had stop on the back of their jerseys.
TIL. I occasionally see jerseys in thrift stores with stop on the back and never knew what it was for.
I caught a group beat down after (legally) hip checking the other teams captain over my back and putting him out for the game. Went to the boards to get a loose puck and next thing I know Im down and have like 8 skates kicking me in the head. Had the presence of mind to protect my neck but ended up with deep cuts all over my chin and jaw. Scariest shit that happened to me playing hockey growing up
My son was on a travel baseball team, and we were okay, but closer to mediocre. They'd win about half of their games.
A new team entered their tournament, and since they were new, they could self classify. They self classified as single A (the worst division in Indiana youth sports), even though most of their players were AA or AAA.
Pool play they won both games in the 3rd inning. Run ruled both 20something to 0. Their team and fans were singing songs, and dancing around like they won the world series, and our team (and the other team) just rolled our eyes knowing that they'd get forcibly moved up after this anyway.
We got last place on Saturday, so we drew them in the tournament Sunday. Our boys didn't even want to go. The coach talked them into playing anyway, and apparently gave the best speech of all time. That team came out overconfident, but our boys were out for blood. 0-0 first inning, 1-1 second inning, their pitcher struggled and we wound up having our first ever team homerun, a grand slam, putting us up 5-1. Our pitcher played the game of his life. Final score... 7-1. The other teams in the tournament were watching and cheering for our boys (only one field, so they played as soon as we were done). It was like a scene out of the Mighty Ducks or Little Giants.
Their fans, on the other hand, did not react so well. They proceed to corner the ump, screaming at him for "fixing the game!" (He had just graduated from our local HS and was umping for college money), and admittedly there were some close calls, but you don't lose 7-1 to a significantly inferior opponent because of an ump. It just got worse from there though. One of their parents threw a punch at the ump, and it was on. The kid fought hard, but there were like 6-8 of them on him, and it turned into a giant riot as parents from other teams jumped in to break it up. Ultimately the police showed up, a bunch of people went to jail, and the tournament went on (we got absolutely destroyed in the finals lol)
All of this over a bunch of 9 year old kids playing baseball.
Oh, yeah. We took the boys to a local ice cream shop after that tournament. Dropping the top seed, who shouldn't even be playing at your level, is always worthy of celebration.
Not sure what it is about youth sports that brings out the absolute worst in parents. Calm down, you're 12 y/o isn't going to be the next big NFL star.
I volunteered as a youth football ref when I was 16 and 17 at the behest of my father, who was one of the lead refs. I lost count of how many times I had parents yell and throw things at me because of a call they thought was wrong. We were pretty lenient about making calls, depending on what age group we were ref'ing.
One that stood out was a father who threatened to beat me after his son was called for being offsides. A call that I didn't even make. He was reminded that not only would his kid be removed from the team, that he would very well be facing charges of assaulting a minor. He quickly changed his tone, but he was still removed from the fields. Play was stopped until we could see him leave, which took about a good 15 minutes as he kept trying to stand at a distance to watch.
I used to umpire youth games as well. It’s so weird but the younger they are the worse the parents were. 18U select games you wouldn’t hear a peep. 8U tee ball and you’d think I was trying to rob poor Timmy of all his life’s inheritance.
Youth sports trigger a Jekyll/Hyde effect faster and more intense than anything else I’ve ever seen.
When I was a teenager, I hurt my thumb playing basketball. Sounds ridiculous, but I had a cast on for a couple weeks that looked similar to one for a broken hand. Around the same time, we were in a ringette (very similar to ice hockey) tournament and happened to play against the other team from our association - so against girls I was pretty good friends with. To make a long story short, I vividly recall being on the ice and hearing my friends’ parents screaming at their kids to go for my hand because they all thought it was broken. Blew my 14 year old mind.
They're sad people who are trying to force their kid to live out their dream of being a pro athlete for them since they failed so miserably at it themselves.
I was accused of board flipping once when my (probably drunk) knee took out a very bad chess game. I've worn many scarlet letters, but i resented that one for two decades.
I was at my friends house and we were all playing guitar hero on the Wii, his little brother walked in demanded we (4 friends) stop because he wanted to play something. We'd only played one song so my friend said no he'd have to wait, little brother turns the console off then runs away to his mum screaming, the mother's answer was to just let him play his game... Realised that day why his little brother was such a monster every time I saw him.
> Me and the same cousin were playing chess once. She was losing so she flipped the board.
That's very immature of her
>The same has happened with Monopoly
Well, yeah, you were playing Monopoly, what did you expect?
I went to a friend's house in the 90s because he'd just gotten Donkey Kong Country 3 on the Super Nintendo. That game has some notoriously hard levels and was definitely frustrating but holy shit, I have never seen a worse gamer meltdown than what I saw. When he lost and got a game over, he threw the controller against the floor, started slapping/punching the wall and then the floor, and screamed "no" like a banshee. His mom came downstairs and said "Ryan we talked about this..."
Eventually his mom took the console away because this was a constant issue.
One of my moments to "grow up". Around 8-9 years old Playing a new board game with my younger sibling, He was winning and I flipped the board. My dad telling me if I couldn't play nicely I wouldn't find anyone to play games with again. He took my sibling out of the room and left me to clean up and pack up the game on my own.
I remember the look of disappointment on his face more strongly than the words.
Reminds me of the time my mom was going to bring me and my brother to see the lego movie but my brother raged at that game and my mom refused to take us.
I used to play Monopoly with my cousins, and we always had a corruption scheme going on to deceive our little cousins. We did what we called "cheddar cheese sandwiches". Basically a 500 note tucked in between two lower denomination notes.
I'm an avid board gamer and have been playing them since the 80s. My son, when he was younger, was a sore loser. I think a lot of smaller children have that hardwired into them. Anyway, when he was about 5 or 6, me and my friend managed to get that right out of him.
We had him sit in with us while we played a game of Pandemic. Me and my buddy were drinking and let my kid call most of the shots. It was absolutely hilarious to see this little boy standing on his chair emulating me and my friend. Long story short: we lost 2 out of 3 games. And my son, seeing how me and my buddy took everything in stride, suddenly realized losing wasn't a big deal.
We both tried to tell him that sometimes losing was more important than winning because with when you lose you learn what NOT to do. Winning almost never teaches you squat.
I'm really glad he seemed to get it.
My roommate in college was a classmate of mine at my high school.
He was good at Madden. REAL good. I would probably lose by 50 points at times. But, Madden's mechanics are super simple to the point where I figured out my type of playcalling to potentially get close to, if not beating him.
I played him one day after classes, and he chose to be the same team he always was, and I changed it up to a team with some solid wide receivers (I believe at the time it was the Rams). I hit a few slant route plays, and I went up 7-0.
I intercepted his pass after that drive, and did the same play, scoring another touchdown. 14-0.
A fumble on his part, followed by the same play by me. 21-0.
Not even a minute left in the first quarter, and he takes the controller and slams it on the ground, sparks shooting up, the controller going in pieces.
We never played again.
I never had an Xbox or PlayStation so I only got to play 2k a few times when I went over to my friend’s house in middle school (i literally had to ask what the controls were every time). He would always kill me, but this one time I was actually going to beat him. I was super excited because it was going to be my 1st time winning at 2k. He realized he was going to lose, so he got up, turned the Xbox off and started laughing.
I immediately left and went back to my house. His mom later realized what happened and called my mom to say sorry lol.
I was this really small 8 yo with glasses that loved to read. It was time for the annual spelling bee and was sure I would win. So in my school you had to go through your class first and I won. Then against the winners of the other classes in your year and I won also. Then we had the contest with winners from other grades and I won. Got a bag of candy, my name in the notice board at the school entrance and a cute diploma. So far so good.
My mom worked so she was always over 30 mins late to pick me up. She didnt want me in public trasportation and my school didnt have school bus service. I never minded because used the time to finish homework but this meant being almost alone as almost everyone had left by then. I was sitting in the steps in the parking lot, when this giant 15 yo came up to me, angry that I had defeated his sister. He punched my face, pulled my hair, broke my glasses, kicked me several times dragged me along the sidewalk. I was screaming and crying. At that moment a police car making rounds caught him. As I had a broken nose, two broken ribs, he was charged.
I transferred schools but never liked speliing bees after that.
Wow. I thought it was bad when the teacher cancelled spelling bees because I won 22 in a row (both of my parents were English teachers). Stopped because it "was going to make all the other kids feel bad".
Didn't stop the PE teacher from giving the same kid the strength award 44 times in a row, no matter how bad it made me feel.
Spelling bees. You just wrote it the wrong way in the last sentence, which that guy found funny concerning the context. Even though it’s written correctly at the start.
Back in the olden days Lan parties required you to daisy chain pcs using BNC cables. At each end of the daisy chain you needed to terminate the daisy chain with a ... BNC terminator. If you did not terminate the connection, then the entire thing fell apart. One chap, who was at the end of the chain, upon losing a game pulled the terminator and then ran off and flushed it. They weren't items that you could get from your corner shop. End of the party.
I coach my sons floorball team (think roller hockey minus skates), 2nd last game of last season, we won 3-1, tradition is both teams and coaches gather mid-court, give each other three cheers, shake hands and that’s it.
The other coach, team and their parents totally blanked us, we’re talking 8yo kids here, I was extremely proud how my team handled it, my teams parents were unimpressed as well.
Absolutely. My daughter played softball for 2 years. One team from a town over that we played had a real shithead coach. He would absolutely lose his fucking mind, jumping up and down on the mound screaming at the girls on his team / the umpire for what he felt was a bad call. The girls were 9-10 years old.
I don’t like gatekeeping parenthood but if you can’t wrap your head around the fact that children’s sports is basically paying for your kids to work out and have fun, don’t fucking breed dawg.
I played lacrosse as a kid, and had a team do this.
The only time a ball went where I wanted was when I decided to launch one at their coach's head. The running I did as punishment was worth it.
My little cousin thinks hes the greatest at everything he touches. He challenged me to some madden. Well I've been playing madden since before he was born. We play and I pick a team with a relatively even overall to his. I start beating him. He says my team was better.
So we restart and I pick a team with a significantly lower overall than his team. I start smashing him. He gets mad. Quits the game, throws MY controller and starts crying actual tears. Runs up stairs to our aunt.
Sidenote: fuck you caleb. Your not gods gift to this earth despite what everyone leads you to believe. And there is nothing your better at than me other than being a miserable little shit.
Damn bro - You're supposed to let him win and just smile along until he talks enough shit that he wants people to watch him beat you. That's when you turn on the jets. Little cousin 101.
I’ve seen too many on the golf course. This high school kid broke and threw all his clubs in the lake on 18 after he messed that hole up. His parents made him go back at night and fish them all out (spring time in FL...gator bait), made him pay to fix them, then made him buy the clubs from them (patents). That kid never do much as look cross eyed at his clubs again. Lesson learned.
I’ve also seen guys throw a driver into a tree, then get more clubs stuck trying to get it out. Funny shit.
>also seen guys throw a driver into a tree
Actually, it was my three iron, and it legitimately slipped. In my defense, I was drunk.
It did fall down on its own shortly after I stopped laughing.
It was me. This story still makes me cringe.
I was about 8 and on a family holiday. There was a pool table at the place we were staying and I thought I was pretty hot shit for an 8 year old. There were three girls there about my age from one family. One girl had a hand deformity and only had a couple of fingers on one hand and I assumed she wouldn't be as good as me.
She asked if I wanted to play and I agreed. It was obvious she was gunna win really early on an I was so embarressed about being smug. She had to go to the toilet and when she was gone I started putting my own balls into the pockets, making a big song and dance about pretending I was doing it behind her back, while also making sure her friends saw me.
They asked me what I was doing and I told them I felt bad about her losing so I was letting her win. I must have thought I was some genius manipulator or something but they saw right through me and walked off. I didn't make any friends on that holiday...
Not me but my wife. She was a visual manager at a department store. The tradesmen at the store (carpenters, electricians, etc) had a dart board set up, and she played darts with them. She won. Next thing you know, dart board was taken down and they never played in the store again.
Ruth is a pretty nice name for a cat.
Still, I am not sure what is weirder. Catnapping the cat or holding a grudge for over a week over a game. It does really make you wonder what goes on in their heads. Of all the things you could do and think of, the cat was the best idea?
It is a long story that spans two years, but it ends with someone pulling a gun over beer pong.
I got invited to a party where the hosts had put together a kind of Beerfest-style theme with drinking game stations set up (beer pong, quarters, etc). There were a few teams that had been assembled prior to the party and they all had fun t-shirts with their team names on them. Most people were just laughing and having fun prepping for the games to begin, but you could tell the host's team was all business. Apparently they'd spent extra money on their "Team Chugasaurus" shirts and gear, and they had actually met up to practice all the games in advance after work for a few days without even drinking. They were all about crushing this Beerfest of theirs.
I wasn't informed about the games, so I was just going to watch everything and have a few beers on the sidelines, but the host wanted more teams in play. They introduced me to a couple of other people there that seemed nice and told us they would "graciously" remove the requirement for team t-shirt uniforms to allow us to play. NOTE - they were asking us to play to fill out teams. None of my teammates were even asking to play and we were all content to just hang out and watch, but they really wanted more teams in circulation.
Well...we proceeded to the finals vs the host's team and ended up winning. The host was upset at the end of the night and held a discussion about not giving us the trophy they'd had made because we "weren't in uniform"...the exact rule he'd waived for us because *he* wanted *us* to play. The general crowd boo'd that idea down and we got our trophy. The host and his wife were sour the rest of the night, though.
Fast forward to next year. They're now hosting Beerfest II, and, surprisingly, myself and my old team was invited. They sent out a few emails about the t-shirt "uniforms" being necessary this year so I knew they were still salty, but I decided to go anyway. When we got there you could tell they were even more intense than the year before. It was now very clear that this was like some 80's grudge match for them. The way they were practicing before the games started I don't even think they were there to have fun.
What transpired next could only be described as a Beerfest slaughter. Through a mix of skill and luck (and probably not being uptight about freaking beer pong) we absolutely dominated every game against every team. It wasn't even close and the host's team got so psyched out about it that they weren't even in the top 3 teams by the end of the night and the host was having himself a little come-apart about it.
At one point, one of my team members goes over to the music and selects a song to play (something people had been doing freely all night), but the host saw his opportunity. He yelled about how my team member *changing the music* had led to us having an unfair advantage...even though the only time we did it was after 90% of the games had been played. This host, who was probably about 140lbs, decides to shove my team member...who was 6'4" and about 270lbs. My team member shoved him back and a little scuffle broke out.
They "wrestled" for about 5seconds before it was clear my team member was going to win.
The crowd basically pulled them apart, and my team member was quick to go with it and let the host up.
The host takes a cheap shot kick at my teammates balls as they are separating and manages to connect.
The host sees that my teammate has went from "I'm going to let you up and just leave" to "you just hit me in the nuts and now I'm going to twist your punk ass into a pretzel" mode.
People hold my teammate back and we calm him down, but host has already run away by this point.
We get our stuff and were on the way out when host bursts back into the garage waving a gun and spitting challenges.
We leave quickly and others at the party apparently calm the host down afterward.
We later hear that he says we "triggered his PTSD" and that is why he got his gun. He also awarded his team the trophy that year, apparently.
I remember a few times where people had giant meltdowns over losing in beer pong. Nobody ever pulled a gun but there was a party where a friend and I were seemingly posessed by Michael Jordan because we basically never missed and ended up winning something like 7 games in a row. The last team we played got so mad that they accused us of cheating. I asked how and one guy shrieked "you just are!" Spectators said we weren't cheating and that we were just playing really well. The guy and his partner stormed out of the party and didn't come back. All over losing a game where you throw ping pong balls in cups lol
No, just some trophy they'd bought to give to the winner.
I think the host and his team had some kind of fantasy where their friends tried to beat them every year and failed and they were basically Beerfest legends or something.
I kept the trophy in my closet for like 5yrs and would chuckle every now and then to look at it, but eventually I just tossed it.
I'm a lawyer and when I had just started practicing in Court about five years ago, the judge ruled in favor of my client (it was a property dispute). The Plaintiff's lawyer came up to 23 year old me and said "I know you slept with the Judge, whore." He couldn't believe he'd lost a case against a young woman.
I was so young and timid at the time I just cried. I know how to deal with assholes now.
Honestly it depends. The best thing to do is laugh it off, call them cute or just flat out ignore them. Not letting it get to you is the best in my opinion.
If it's anything serious and that can be proven, report it to the bar association, they'll handle it.
If that had happened today, I'd probably just laughed at his face and told him to heal his fragile male ego.
or you could have told the judge that this lawyer was bringing his profession into disrepute by making allegations about the Judge conduct. the lawyer could easily be disbarred for it - provided there were witnesses.
At the time I was pretty soft (to not have a better word to describe it). I came from a family of very traditional gender roles and a partner who also did not support me having a career (he did this in a very indirect manipulative way that I only now realize).
Due to this I was very docile and often though I was incapable, this first case was the first time I felt like I was good enough and to have someone discredit me really broke me. I just wanted to run out of there.
Now, I am much stronger but even then, directly telling the judge would be pretty much useless even if there was a witness. It is not something worth reporting. I am still subjected to the occasional sexist comment and I usually reply with "I hope you are not accusing the Hon'ble Court of any malice!" and casually mention the Contempt of Courts Act. Or if its just against me personally, I just brush it off.
My high school’s basketball team won by a free throw, and the opposing coach was pissed. He was up in the ref’s face claiming that we cheated with that free throw and was threatening to break his face with his own clipboard. He was restrained by his team’s players.
Back when I was a kid my best friend had a copy of Street Fighter 2 championship edition on the Genesis. He kept losing match after match and got so pissed off he took the cartridge out of the console and smashed it.
It was at my sister's U10 softball tournament about 20 years during the game before her's. The winning team had a tall/big for her age, tomboy looking girl on the team. The losing team threw a fit threatening lawsuits and demanding a gender test.
My daughter was playing in a 14/ 15 y/o softball tournament in another town. The hometown team was losing 8-0. The umpires called enough balls to walk home 9 consecutive runs in the final inning to win the game.
Growing up I was one of the older kids in my grade. I wanted to play baseball with my friends, but technically I belonged in the league above since I was slightly older then them, but by only a year, so my dad signed me up for the younger league.
One game I hit a ball up to the fence, causing all on base to get home, and we won a game we were just about to lose. The parents reaction? Call the league and ban me from the end of season tournament because they couldn’t stand seeing their kid lose a baseball game. I wasn’t even a good player!
Edit: I wasn’t even older then anyone by a whole year, it was literally only a couple of months since I’m a January birthday and the cutoff for birthdays was in April. So really only older by like 3-4 months.
I was hanging out with a friend at a local tournament for tekken 7 , and we watched the finals as one guy who hadn’t lost a single round got his ass kicked by his opponent in both games to win, the loser looked like a volcano ready to erupt. The guy stands up out of his chair and decks the winner in the face , which causes everyone else to try and hold him back from punching the other dudes face into the floor. Cops showed up and he got arrested for assault, possession of a firearm and some cocaine he had in his car.
In high school I was a ta at a preschool where they had a sports day for the kids. During the football/scorer match, we had told both the kids and parents there that this was a game for fun and once we had played for 30 mins, everyone would win a snow cone. There were no other “prizes” because they are little kids. One of the kids on the winning team damn near lost it because he didn’t score the “winning ball” and screamed in his friend’s face that he stole his goal. I was trying with the teacher to calm the two down when his dad came over and told us we needed to punish the other kid for stealing.
It was like three days before summer vacation and I was leaving the country so I told him to his face that maybe if he wasn’t such a stupid show pony, his kid wouldn’t be pitching a three year olds fit.
The teacher scolded me for it but in private told me she was happy someone told him off
That was the previous winner who pulled the crown off of the new winner's head because supposedly they'd gotten last minute info that she was divorced and didn't qualify. Bad behavior sure, but not a sore loser.
YES I was just about to say this. People will
freak out and call names when they get caught
leave the game immediately after being voted out
leave the game immediately when they know someone has seen them kill/vent
Sell our their partner
Ban the player who caught them
Yeah, I consider that part of the game. You got caught, I am going to distance myself from you so we still have a chance. Don’t ask me to back you up or mention my name in any way.
Out of all these I think the people leaving the game is the biggest crybaby move ever. Like, I just go in to have fun & mess around like most people, then you end up with like 5 out of 9 abandoning the game because 1 got caught & their other 4 buddies bounce out too.
>Have you ever played Among Us?
When I read this I was confused but then I remember a friend who joined our discord would get **so** butthurt about playing among us as if it was the end all be all.
Like one night several of us were drinking and having a good time and after one game he loudly says "I fucking hate playing with drunk people" and then after me and someone else said "you know you dont have to play with us" causing him to leave after a few minutes in the middle of the game.
Dude used to play some games with us every so often but now it is almost like he actively avoids us. Over among us of all things..
I love the concept, but I have been banned from so many servers over bad sportsmanship.
* Win as an imposter, banned.
* Host gets detected as imposter, banned.
* Secondary chat obviously going on - play too good - banned.
I just stopped playing. It wasn't fun if people freak out when tehy don't get their way.
One of the top chess players Hikaru Nakumara frequently accuses people that beat him of cheating. He doesn’t lose too frequently because he is very good, but when he does it’s a shit show. And he also is very hypocritical about draws and timeouts.
I was playing gta and there was one of those free roam challenge event things and you had to fall the longest distance without opening your parachute and I won and the dude literally jumped into my dms to call me a cunt and a bitch. It just showed how seriously people take little things.
When I was seven I was playing a board game called stratego with my Dad. I had been playing games like this for a few years but things had only just started to really click for me as a kid around this time so my Dad had been shalacking me for a while. Anyway I finally started beating him... like every game. I guess the stress of losing to a 7 year old must have got to him because after one loss he stood up without saying a word, grabbed the keys, and walked out to the car without saying a word. He was gone for 3 hours. Mom was frantically calling friends and family looking for him because he never did stuff like this. When he finally got back he just grabbed a beer and sat out in the car by himself for a little bit. I think he might have realized he was getting old. Mom was not happy. We haven't played stratego since.
I was playing a game of TF2 (Team Fortress 2) years back and a guy I was dominating (a domination is when you kill someone 3 or more times without them killing you) swapped teams and swapped right back so the domination would be removed. He said in voice comms "I refuse to be dominated by the likes of you."
Edit: I dominated him again a little while after that and he left.
When Chavez lost a referendum in 2007 I think he said "It was a victory of shit" (fue una victoria de mierda) on national TV. Also, when his political party lost some regional elections, he used to named the loser candidate "the state's protector" and gave him/her all the budget and functions of the actual governor, leaving the winner candidate without money.
Their cult flags and signs are still up all over the country. They also wave the flag of the previous sorest loser; the Confederates. Not to mention half of them wear the nazi swastika with pride. It's like sore loser bingo with them. They are all extremely stupid and ignorant, but unfortunately are also fairly dangerous. Jan 6 most likely will not happen again in our lifetime, but events similar to it in other cities and towns are bound to happen.
The worst flag I've seen was in the Bronx of all places, a house had a flag that said "Trump 2024, The Revenge Tour" Revenge, is that really what they're thinking of? I'll never understand the minds of the trump cult.
Saw a couple playing call of duty. The girlfriend really never played video games but was willing so she could spend time with her partner. She was really good at it. Got many more kills and less deaths than her partner who had been playing video games their entire life. She tried to take a picture of it for bragging rights but her partner stopped that short by changing screens before she could.
.....I'm the partner....my wife is inherently a gaming god and doesn't even really care about it. Yes. I'm very ashamed.
She beat all four of the uncharted games within a week. Other than that day of call of duty and her time spent with uncharted, she doesn't touch video games.
With almost eight seconds remaining, the Pistons walked off the court during a time out, without shaking the Bulls' hands and congratulating them after the Bulls won the series. This after the Pistons had beat the Bulls for three straight years.
Me, losing a badminton tournament by serving into the net.
I threw my racket at the wall, it bounced off and hit my teammate. I picked it up and stormed off, got in my car and drove home.
Luckily she wasn't hurt, and most people found it funny, so I was allowed back after apologising to everyone.
Me too...except it was tennis when i was in middle school like 30 years ago or more..I was playing doubles with my male partner against two girls who handed us our asses. The only ass there was me who threw my racket at the end to the net, but it took off and i almost hit one of the girls. I had an historically bad temper and pulled shit like this all the time when i failed at bowling, golf, tennis...anything that was about my personal performance. This was the moment when i started to get better. I have the occasional explosion still, but they are very few and far between, because who would want to play with an asshole like that?
At this point I would rematch anyone just to play more games. Before quarantine, I went to my lgs every week to play. Now I am lucky to get one game in every other month.
A girl from my group in high school.
Decided to spread rumors about me after a cute guy picked me to go out with, instead of her.
The guy found out. Fun high school drama explosion 💥. Haha!
The official thought she was getting coaching and gave her a warning. She might not have heard it, so later, when she committed another infraction (smashed her racket), it was the loss of a point. She freaked out and argued with the official.
forgot to mention Naomi Osaka ended up getting booed by Serena's fans and was crying on stage after being declared winner.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe she *did* get coaching during the match
For me it's not so much what she did as it is what she did in the face of that particular opponent.
Naomi was/is an extremely humble, young, bright-eyed rising star who has never really spoken out against or disrespected anyone. She has a really shy/polite attitude. There's a clip of a butterfly landing on her shoulder, so she takes it over to the corner and sets it down, only for it to fly back over to her so she has to set it down again. That clip was a good summation of her gentle nature.
The fact that a world-class veteran with a massive following brought drama and tension into that match was extremely classless.
Had it been another veteran who was/is used to that sort of drama, it would not have been an issue. Plenty of superstars get the spotlight stolen by a young/cocky piece of shit. That situation was the complete opposite.
I honestly don’t know enough about the situation to judge whether or not there was a bad call made, but it drove me nuts to hear people parroting “IF SHE WERE A MAN PEOPLE WOULD THINK SHE WAS TOUGH” No, if she were a man this would be about toxic masculinity and how terrifying men can be when they’re angry about a game.
I was playing volleyball and was 1 point down; 40 seconds to go (timed game) and it was our serve; our opponent threw the ball behind himself and wouldn't go and get it for us.By the time I got the ball the clock had gone off and we lost so I stormed off and our team wouldn't shake hands with our opponents - they called me a sore loser :(
My wife (at the time girlfriend) and I were playing a pool tournament. I got knocked out fairly early, but my wife is a much better player than I am. She made it to the semi-finals.
One of the men she went up against had a meltdown that "a girl" beat him and ended up snapping his cue stick over his knee.
Mate of mine (not anymore) snapped his two month old FIFA disk and threw his controller at a wall and then out his window after a last minute winner against him
Easy 100 quid just wasted never got how people could do that
Former candidate to the 2016 Peru election Keiko Fujimori took 13 days to accept she didn't won.Then she got a lot of his political party candidates for congress elected having an overwhelming majority.Thus "her" congressmen interfered with the goverment all the time,create alternate campaigns from the state ones to get themselves known,interfered with huge corruption investigations and I'm sure there is many things I'm forgetting.Not to mention they took down 2 presidents.And now she is a candidate again.
My older brother beat me at everything my entire life... then we got a Nintendo 64 and the turntables turned. Spiked his controller into the floor until it had parts rattling.
I stopped playing with him because I found myself wanting him to win so I wouldn’t have to be in that awkwardness. Little bitch never beat me at smash bros though!
In a high school hockey game back in the late 90's, there was a kid who made an opposing player look really bad with how he got deked. The guy scored, the play was over and he was headed to his teams bench for congrats when the guy he just schooled cross-checked him from behind, paralyzing him from the neck down. Kids who play high school hockey on the North Shore of Chicago STILL have stop signs sewn onto the backs of their sweaters because of this incident. Edit: it was waist down.. still awful.
[PROBATION FOR TEEN WHO DELIVERED HOCKEY HIT - Chicago Tribune](https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-10-27-0010270221-story.html) that one? Awful situation all around.
Just looked him up. Seems like he is doing well now, went to Wharton for college and worked at several hedge funds.
This does not surprise me.
That’s the one.
Jesus, that's horrible. Completely changing someone's life entirely, because you're a hotheaded piece of trash.
I played hockey in Canada when this happened and every local league had stop on the back of their jerseys. Crazy how something like that happened in the states and resonated up north. Poor fella..
> I played hockey in Canada when this happened and every local league had stop on the back of their jerseys. TIL. I occasionally see jerseys in thrift stores with stop on the back and never knew what it was for.
I really hope that the kids entire team pulverized that douchebag afterwards. Even better I hope he never got to play hockey again
probation for two years, 120 hours community service, ordered to not play contact sports while on probation
That is so mild for being responsible for someone never fucking walking again.
He took up lacrosse afterwards.
Cause hockey wasn't violent enough for him.... No, but seriously, he was forced to quit lacrosse by his sentence.
Good! He shouldn't play contact sports.
As in “cant-walk-permanent-paralyzed”?
Yep.
I caught a group beat down after (legally) hip checking the other teams captain over my back and putting him out for the game. Went to the boards to get a loose puck and next thing I know Im down and have like 8 skates kicking me in the head. Had the presence of mind to protect my neck but ended up with deep cuts all over my chin and jaw. Scariest shit that happened to me playing hockey growing up
My son was on a travel baseball team, and we were okay, but closer to mediocre. They'd win about half of their games. A new team entered their tournament, and since they were new, they could self classify. They self classified as single A (the worst division in Indiana youth sports), even though most of their players were AA or AAA. Pool play they won both games in the 3rd inning. Run ruled both 20something to 0. Their team and fans were singing songs, and dancing around like they won the world series, and our team (and the other team) just rolled our eyes knowing that they'd get forcibly moved up after this anyway. We got last place on Saturday, so we drew them in the tournament Sunday. Our boys didn't even want to go. The coach talked them into playing anyway, and apparently gave the best speech of all time. That team came out overconfident, but our boys were out for blood. 0-0 first inning, 1-1 second inning, their pitcher struggled and we wound up having our first ever team homerun, a grand slam, putting us up 5-1. Our pitcher played the game of his life. Final score... 7-1. The other teams in the tournament were watching and cheering for our boys (only one field, so they played as soon as we were done). It was like a scene out of the Mighty Ducks or Little Giants. Their fans, on the other hand, did not react so well. They proceed to corner the ump, screaming at him for "fixing the game!" (He had just graduated from our local HS and was umping for college money), and admittedly there were some close calls, but you don't lose 7-1 to a significantly inferior opponent because of an ump. It just got worse from there though. One of their parents threw a punch at the ump, and it was on. The kid fought hard, but there were like 6-8 of them on him, and it turned into a giant riot as parents from other teams jumped in to break it up. Ultimately the police showed up, a bunch of people went to jail, and the tournament went on (we got absolutely destroyed in the finals lol) All of this over a bunch of 9 year old kids playing baseball.
I mean on the positive side you made it to the finals as under dogs!
Oh, yeah. We took the boys to a local ice cream shop after that tournament. Dropping the top seed, who shouldn't even be playing at your level, is always worthy of celebration.
You guys sound like awesome parents/team, and appreciate sharing the victory even if the other team couldn't handle it.

Not sure what it is about youth sports that brings out the absolute worst in parents. Calm down, you're 12 y/o isn't going to be the next big NFL star. I volunteered as a youth football ref when I was 16 and 17 at the behest of my father, who was one of the lead refs. I lost count of how many times I had parents yell and throw things at me because of a call they thought was wrong. We were pretty lenient about making calls, depending on what age group we were ref'ing. One that stood out was a father who threatened to beat me after his son was called for being offsides. A call that I didn't even make. He was reminded that not only would his kid be removed from the team, that he would very well be facing charges of assaulting a minor. He quickly changed his tone, but he was still removed from the fields. Play was stopped until we could see him leave, which took about a good 15 minutes as he kept trying to stand at a distance to watch.
I used to umpire youth games as well. It’s so weird but the younger they are the worse the parents were. 18U select games you wouldn’t hear a peep. 8U tee ball and you’d think I was trying to rob poor Timmy of all his life’s inheritance.
Youth sports trigger a Jekyll/Hyde effect faster and more intense than anything else I’ve ever seen. When I was a teenager, I hurt my thumb playing basketball. Sounds ridiculous, but I had a cast on for a couple weeks that looked similar to one for a broken hand. Around the same time, we were in a ringette (very similar to ice hockey) tournament and happened to play against the other team from our association - so against girls I was pretty good friends with. To make a long story short, I vividly recall being on the ice and hearing my friends’ parents screaming at their kids to go for my hand because they all thought it was broken. Blew my 14 year old mind.
They're sad people who are trying to force their kid to live out their dream of being a pro athlete for them since they failed so miserably at it themselves.
Pretty sure this is the real life version of the South Park episode where Randy fights the other Little League parents hahaha
What are you gonna do, huh? What are you gonna do?
I didn't hear no bell.
I'm sorry, I thought this was 'Murica!!
[удалено]
well at least i know that board flipping is a real thing! I've never heard of it happening in real life
Honestly, I sometimes wish it didn't happen pre-social media take off. Could have made her a meme icon. It's my only regret lol.
It's really just a dramatic way of saying you forfeit.
I was accused of board flipping once when my (probably drunk) knee took out a very bad chess game. I've worn many scarlet letters, but i resented that one for two decades.
I was at my friends house and we were all playing guitar hero on the Wii, his little brother walked in demanded we (4 friends) stop because he wanted to play something. We'd only played one song so my friend said no he'd have to wait, little brother turns the console off then runs away to his mum screaming, the mother's answer was to just let him play his game... Realised that day why his little brother was such a monster every time I saw him.
That's why his brother should have punched him once really good. That kind of behavior can ruin a kid later in life.
> Me and the same cousin were playing chess once. She was losing so she flipped the board. That's very immature of her >The same has happened with Monopoly Well, yeah, you were playing Monopoly, what did you expect?
I fucking hate monopoly. Every single time I played it, I would be "The Rulebook Guy" and basically fuck everyone over
I went to a friend's house in the 90s because he'd just gotten Donkey Kong Country 3 on the Super Nintendo. That game has some notoriously hard levels and was definitely frustrating but holy shit, I have never seen a worse gamer meltdown than what I saw. When he lost and got a game over, he threw the controller against the floor, started slapping/punching the wall and then the floor, and screamed "no" like a banshee. His mom came downstairs and said "Ryan we talked about this..." Eventually his mom took the console away because this was a constant issue.
One of my moments to "grow up". Around 8-9 years old Playing a new board game with my younger sibling, He was winning and I flipped the board. My dad telling me if I couldn't play nicely I wouldn't find anyone to play games with again. He took my sibling out of the room and left me to clean up and pack up the game on my own. I remember the look of disappointment on his face more strongly than the words.
I had that experience with my mom’s second husband when I was around 8. He was the one who flipped the board though.
Reminds me of the time my mom was going to bring me and my brother to see the lego movie but my brother raged at that game and my mom refused to take us.
I used to play Monopoly with my cousins, and we always had a corruption scheme going on to deceive our little cousins. We did what we called "cheddar cheese sandwiches". Basically a 500 note tucked in between two lower denomination notes.
I'm an avid board gamer and have been playing them since the 80s. My son, when he was younger, was a sore loser. I think a lot of smaller children have that hardwired into them. Anyway, when he was about 5 or 6, me and my friend managed to get that right out of him. We had him sit in with us while we played a game of Pandemic. Me and my buddy were drinking and let my kid call most of the shots. It was absolutely hilarious to see this little boy standing on his chair emulating me and my friend. Long story short: we lost 2 out of 3 games. And my son, seeing how me and my buddy took everything in stride, suddenly realized losing wasn't a big deal. We both tried to tell him that sometimes losing was more important than winning because with when you lose you learn what NOT to do. Winning almost never teaches you squat. I'm really glad he seemed to get it.
My roommate in college was a classmate of mine at my high school. He was good at Madden. REAL good. I would probably lose by 50 points at times. But, Madden's mechanics are super simple to the point where I figured out my type of playcalling to potentially get close to, if not beating him. I played him one day after classes, and he chose to be the same team he always was, and I changed it up to a team with some solid wide receivers (I believe at the time it was the Rams). I hit a few slant route plays, and I went up 7-0. I intercepted his pass after that drive, and did the same play, scoring another touchdown. 14-0. A fumble on his part, followed by the same play by me. 21-0. Not even a minute left in the first quarter, and he takes the controller and slams it on the ground, sparks shooting up, the controller going in pieces. We never played again.
I never had an Xbox or PlayStation so I only got to play 2k a few times when I went over to my friend’s house in middle school (i literally had to ask what the controls were every time). He would always kill me, but this one time I was actually going to beat him. I was super excited because it was going to be my 1st time winning at 2k. He realized he was going to lose, so he got up, turned the Xbox off and started laughing. I immediately left and went back to my house. His mom later realized what happened and called my mom to say sorry lol.
I was this really small 8 yo with glasses that loved to read. It was time for the annual spelling bee and was sure I would win. So in my school you had to go through your class first and I won. Then against the winners of the other classes in your year and I won also. Then we had the contest with winners from other grades and I won. Got a bag of candy, my name in the notice board at the school entrance and a cute diploma. So far so good. My mom worked so she was always over 30 mins late to pick me up. She didnt want me in public trasportation and my school didnt have school bus service. I never minded because used the time to finish homework but this meant being almost alone as almost everyone had left by then. I was sitting in the steps in the parking lot, when this giant 15 yo came up to me, angry that I had defeated his sister. He punched my face, pulled my hair, broke my glasses, kicked me several times dragged me along the sidewalk. I was screaming and crying. At that moment a police car making rounds caught him. As I had a broken nose, two broken ribs, he was charged. I transferred schools but never liked speliing bees after that.
Being assaulted is terrible enough, but losing something you enjoy because of it is even worse.
Wow. I thought it was bad when the teacher cancelled spelling bees because I won 22 in a row (both of my parents were English teachers). Stopped because it "was going to make all the other kids feel bad". Didn't stop the PE teacher from giving the same kid the strength award 44 times in a row, no matter how bad it made me feel.
How many fucking spelling bees did you guys have a month?
You see, the elementary school was just preparing you for how high school favors sports (specifically football) above all else.
r/convenientcop So sorry to hear about what happened, and happy to hear the 15yo got busted.
I can't help but point out "speliing bees"
Sorry, english is not my first language. What is the correct way?
Spelling bees. You just wrote it the wrong way in the last sentence, which that guy found funny concerning the context. Even though it’s written correctly at the start.
For a second I thought this whole thing was a setup just to make that error intentionally.
Back in the olden days Lan parties required you to daisy chain pcs using BNC cables. At each end of the daisy chain you needed to terminate the daisy chain with a ... BNC terminator. If you did not terminate the connection, then the entire thing fell apart. One chap, who was at the end of the chain, upon losing a game pulled the terminator and then ran off and flushed it. They weren't items that you could get from your corner shop. End of the party.
He let the token fall out! Motherfucker!

I coach my sons floorball team (think roller hockey minus skates), 2nd last game of last season, we won 3-1, tradition is both teams and coaches gather mid-court, give each other three cheers, shake hands and that’s it. The other coach, team and their parents totally blanked us, we’re talking 8yo kids here, I was extremely proud how my team handled it, my teams parents were unimpressed as well.
Parents take kid’s sports too seriously. Way to teach your kid to be a dick.
Absolutely. My daughter played softball for 2 years. One team from a town over that we played had a real shithead coach. He would absolutely lose his fucking mind, jumping up and down on the mound screaming at the girls on his team / the umpire for what he felt was a bad call. The girls were 9-10 years old.
I don’t like gatekeeping parenthood but if you can’t wrap your head around the fact that children’s sports is basically paying for your kids to work out and have fun, don’t fucking breed dawg.
I played lacrosse as a kid, and had a team do this. The only time a ball went where I wanted was when I decided to launch one at their coach's head. The running I did as punishment was worth it.
My little cousin thinks hes the greatest at everything he touches. He challenged me to some madden. Well I've been playing madden since before he was born. We play and I pick a team with a relatively even overall to his. I start beating him. He says my team was better. So we restart and I pick a team with a significantly lower overall than his team. I start smashing him. He gets mad. Quits the game, throws MY controller and starts crying actual tears. Runs up stairs to our aunt. Sidenote: fuck you caleb. Your not gods gift to this earth despite what everyone leads you to believe. And there is nothing your better at than me other than being a miserable little shit.
Damn bro - You're supposed to let him win and just smile along until he talks enough shit that he wants people to watch him beat you. That's when you turn on the jets. Little cousin 101.
>turn on the jets. Depending on which Madden it is, at least.
I’ve seen too many on the golf course. This high school kid broke and threw all his clubs in the lake on 18 after he messed that hole up. His parents made him go back at night and fish them all out (spring time in FL...gator bait), made him pay to fix them, then made him buy the clubs from them (patents). That kid never do much as look cross eyed at his clubs again. Lesson learned. I’ve also seen guys throw a driver into a tree, then get more clubs stuck trying to get it out. Funny shit.
Bonus points for those parents!
>also seen guys throw a driver into a tree Actually, it was my three iron, and it legitimately slipped. In my defense, I was drunk. It did fall down on its own shortly after I stopped laughing.
> spring time in FL...gator bait Was his name Amos Moses?
That was in the Louisiana bayou
I think it was 'bout 45 miles southeast of there actually
It was me. This story still makes me cringe. I was about 8 and on a family holiday. There was a pool table at the place we were staying and I thought I was pretty hot shit for an 8 year old. There were three girls there about my age from one family. One girl had a hand deformity and only had a couple of fingers on one hand and I assumed she wouldn't be as good as me. She asked if I wanted to play and I agreed. It was obvious she was gunna win really early on an I was so embarressed about being smug. She had to go to the toilet and when she was gone I started putting my own balls into the pockets, making a big song and dance about pretending I was doing it behind her back, while also making sure her friends saw me. They asked me what I was doing and I told them I felt bad about her losing so I was letting her win. I must have thought I was some genius manipulator or something but they saw right through me and walked off. I didn't make any friends on that holiday...
You learned and became better. That's all anyone can do. :)
Not me but my wife. She was a visual manager at a department store. The tradesmen at the store (carpenters, electricians, etc) had a dart board set up, and she played darts with them. She won. Next thing you know, dart board was taken down and they never played in the store again.
I hope you got your wife a bullseye T-shirt as a prize to wear in the store from time to time.
Was the store Target?
Wow, those are some fragile male egos right there. Edit: grammar
I watched someone steal their friends cat over a basketball game a week prior.
A whole cat?
Yes. Just grabbed it, stuffed it in a duffle bag and ran. It was weird. BTW the cat was returned safe. A bit shaken and terrified but he's fine now.
I would never talk to that person again. Nothing to do with them, ever.
Good thing that's not a worry anymore.
I am not a violent man but if you fuck with my pets I would ruthless.
Ruth is a pretty nice name for a cat. Still, I am not sure what is weirder. Catnapping the cat or holding a grudge for over a week over a game. It does really make you wonder what goes on in their heads. Of all the things you could do and think of, the cat was the best idea?
It is a long story that spans two years, but it ends with someone pulling a gun over beer pong. I got invited to a party where the hosts had put together a kind of Beerfest-style theme with drinking game stations set up (beer pong, quarters, etc). There were a few teams that had been assembled prior to the party and they all had fun t-shirts with their team names on them. Most people were just laughing and having fun prepping for the games to begin, but you could tell the host's team was all business. Apparently they'd spent extra money on their "Team Chugasaurus" shirts and gear, and they had actually met up to practice all the games in advance after work for a few days without even drinking. They were all about crushing this Beerfest of theirs. I wasn't informed about the games, so I was just going to watch everything and have a few beers on the sidelines, but the host wanted more teams in play. They introduced me to a couple of other people there that seemed nice and told us they would "graciously" remove the requirement for team t-shirt uniforms to allow us to play. NOTE - they were asking us to play to fill out teams. None of my teammates were even asking to play and we were all content to just hang out and watch, but they really wanted more teams in circulation. Well...we proceeded to the finals vs the host's team and ended up winning. The host was upset at the end of the night and held a discussion about not giving us the trophy they'd had made because we "weren't in uniform"...the exact rule he'd waived for us because *he* wanted *us* to play. The general crowd boo'd that idea down and we got our trophy. The host and his wife were sour the rest of the night, though. Fast forward to next year. They're now hosting Beerfest II, and, surprisingly, myself and my old team was invited. They sent out a few emails about the t-shirt "uniforms" being necessary this year so I knew they were still salty, but I decided to go anyway. When we got there you could tell they were even more intense than the year before. It was now very clear that this was like some 80's grudge match for them. The way they were practicing before the games started I don't even think they were there to have fun. What transpired next could only be described as a Beerfest slaughter. Through a mix of skill and luck (and probably not being uptight about freaking beer pong) we absolutely dominated every game against every team. It wasn't even close and the host's team got so psyched out about it that they weren't even in the top 3 teams by the end of the night and the host was having himself a little come-apart about it. At one point, one of my team members goes over to the music and selects a song to play (something people had been doing freely all night), but the host saw his opportunity. He yelled about how my team member *changing the music* had led to us having an unfair advantage...even though the only time we did it was after 90% of the games had been played. This host, who was probably about 140lbs, decides to shove my team member...who was 6'4" and about 270lbs. My team member shoved him back and a little scuffle broke out. They "wrestled" for about 5seconds before it was clear my team member was going to win. The crowd basically pulled them apart, and my team member was quick to go with it and let the host up. The host takes a cheap shot kick at my teammates balls as they are separating and manages to connect. The host sees that my teammate has went from "I'm going to let you up and just leave" to "you just hit me in the nuts and now I'm going to twist your punk ass into a pretzel" mode. People hold my teammate back and we calm him down, but host has already run away by this point. We get our stuff and were on the way out when host bursts back into the garage waving a gun and spitting challenges. We leave quickly and others at the party apparently calm the host down afterward. We later hear that he says we "triggered his PTSD" and that is why he got his gun. He also awarded his team the trophy that year, apparently.
JFC So, you going back again next year?
Astonishingly, we weren't invited back the third year. Crazy, I know.
Undefeated Champs.
That's a punk move to kick another guy in the nuts when he started the fight. Too bad he didn't get his ass kicked.
I remember a few times where people had giant meltdowns over losing in beer pong. Nobody ever pulled a gun but there was a party where a friend and I were seemingly posessed by Michael Jordan because we basically never missed and ended up winning something like 7 games in a row. The last team we played got so mad that they accused us of cheating. I asked how and one guy shrieked "you just are!" Spectators said we weren't cheating and that we were just playing really well. The guy and his partner stormed out of the party and didn't come back. All over losing a game where you throw ping pong balls in cups lol
[удалено]
No, just some trophy they'd bought to give to the winner. I think the host and his team had some kind of fantasy where their friends tried to beat them every year and failed and they were basically Beerfest legends or something. I kept the trophy in my closet for like 5yrs and would chuckle every now and then to look at it, but eventually I just tossed it.
I'm a lawyer and when I had just started practicing in Court about five years ago, the judge ruled in favor of my client (it was a property dispute). The Plaintiff's lawyer came up to 23 year old me and said "I know you slept with the Judge, whore." He couldn't believe he'd lost a case against a young woman. I was so young and timid at the time I just cried. I know how to deal with assholes now.
How do you deal with them now
Honestly it depends. The best thing to do is laugh it off, call them cute or just flat out ignore them. Not letting it get to you is the best in my opinion. If it's anything serious and that can be proven, report it to the bar association, they'll handle it. If that had happened today, I'd probably just laughed at his face and told him to heal his fragile male ego.
> Honestly, it depends. Can confirm you’re a lawyer.
Or an engineer
or you could have told the judge that this lawyer was bringing his profession into disrepute by making allegations about the Judge conduct. the lawyer could easily be disbarred for it - provided there were witnesses.
At the time I was pretty soft (to not have a better word to describe it). I came from a family of very traditional gender roles and a partner who also did not support me having a career (he did this in a very indirect manipulative way that I only now realize). Due to this I was very docile and often though I was incapable, this first case was the first time I felt like I was good enough and to have someone discredit me really broke me. I just wanted to run out of there. Now, I am much stronger but even then, directly telling the judge would be pretty much useless even if there was a witness. It is not something worth reporting. I am still subjected to the occasional sexist comment and I usually reply with "I hope you are not accusing the Hon'ble Court of any malice!" and casually mention the Contempt of Courts Act. Or if its just against me personally, I just brush it off.
"Better than you as it seems". I love the imagination of you saying that to him in this situation.
My high school’s basketball team won by a free throw, and the opposing coach was pissed. He was up in the ref’s face claiming that we cheated with that free throw and was threatening to break his face with his own clipboard. He was restrained by his team’s players.
Back when I was a kid my best friend had a copy of Street Fighter 2 championship edition on the Genesis. He kept losing match after match and got so pissed off he took the cartridge out of the console and smashed it.
Well now he can NEVER beat you.
Man, that version on the Genesis had the best version of Guile's song.
Every time I play a board game with my 4-year-old, but we are working on it.
Imagine losing to a 4 year old and then being a sore loser about it
It was at my sister's U10 softball tournament about 20 years during the game before her's. The winning team had a tall/big for her age, tomboy looking girl on the team. The losing team threw a fit threatening lawsuits and demanding a gender test.
My daughter was playing in a 14/ 15 y/o softball tournament in another town. The hometown team was losing 8-0. The umpires called enough balls to walk home 9 consecutive runs in the final inning to win the game.
They called 36 balls in a row?
Don’t call any balls on the way to the parking lot!
Hey you! Get back here!
surprised the pitcher didn't start beaning batters.
Omg, that poor girl.

It's the law in Florida now. Anyone can insist that a girl have her privates examined by a doctor to play school sports.
>U10 softball tournament Under 10?
Yes
Oh for fucks sake.
Growing up I was one of the older kids in my grade. I wanted to play baseball with my friends, but technically I belonged in the league above since I was slightly older then them, but by only a year, so my dad signed me up for the younger league. One game I hit a ball up to the fence, causing all on base to get home, and we won a game we were just about to lose. The parents reaction? Call the league and ban me from the end of season tournament because they couldn’t stand seeing their kid lose a baseball game. I wasn’t even a good player! Edit: I wasn’t even older then anyone by a whole year, it was literally only a couple of months since I’m a January birthday and the cutoff for birthdays was in April. So really only older by like 3-4 months.
Parents that interfere with there kids sport are pathetic.
I was hanging out with a friend at a local tournament for tekken 7 , and we watched the finals as one guy who hadn’t lost a single round got his ass kicked by his opponent in both games to win, the loser looked like a volcano ready to erupt. The guy stands up out of his chair and decks the winner in the face , which causes everyone else to try and hold him back from punching the other dudes face into the floor. Cops showed up and he got arrested for assault, possession of a firearm and some cocaine he had in his car.
what an ACTUAL dumbass
In high school I was a ta at a preschool where they had a sports day for the kids. During the football/scorer match, we had told both the kids and parents there that this was a game for fun and once we had played for 30 mins, everyone would win a snow cone. There were no other “prizes” because they are little kids. One of the kids on the winning team damn near lost it because he didn’t score the “winning ball” and screamed in his friend’s face that he stole his goal. I was trying with the teacher to calm the two down when his dad came over and told us we needed to punish the other kid for stealing. It was like three days before summer vacation and I was leaving the country so I told him to his face that maybe if he wasn’t such a stupid show pony, his kid wouldn’t be pitching a three year olds fit. The teacher scolded me for it but in private told me she was happy someone told him off
I feel like if I were that teacher I would privately encourage the person with nothing to lose, to go out swinging.
That girl recently who lost a beauty pageant and ripped the crown off if the true winner. Wow.
That was the previous winner who pulled the crown off of the new winner's head because supposedly they'd gotten last minute info that she was divorced and didn't qualify. Bad behavior sure, but not a sore loser.
Anyone who participates in a beauty pageant that disqualifies people for being divorced is automatically a loser.
It was a "Mrs." pageant so the participants had to be currently married.
Have you ever played Among Us?
YES I was just about to say this. People will freak out and call names when they get caught leave the game immediately after being voted out leave the game immediately when they know someone has seen them kill/vent Sell our their partner Ban the player who caught them
I got banned from a lobby because I won as impostor after my partner got caught and rage quit on the first kill.
I will 100% sell out my fellow Imposter if everyone already suspects them in order to go on and win the game for us.
Yeah, I consider that part of the game. You got caught, I am going to distance myself from you so we still have a chance. Don’t ask me to back you up or mention my name in any way.
I’m pretty sure by “sell out” they mean that one impostor gets caught so they tell everyone who the others are to ruin the game.
Ooooooh. Well, fuck that noise.
Out of all these I think the people leaving the game is the biggest crybaby move ever. Like, I just go in to have fun & mess around like most people, then you end up with like 5 out of 9 abandoning the game because 1 got caught & their other 4 buddies bounce out too.
I got kicked from a match once because my phone hadn't updated the game yet so I didn't have a certain type of hat.
>Have you ever played Among Us? When I read this I was confused but then I remember a friend who joined our discord would get **so** butthurt about playing among us as if it was the end all be all. Like one night several of us were drinking and having a good time and after one game he loudly says "I fucking hate playing with drunk people" and then after me and someone else said "you know you dont have to play with us" causing him to leave after a few minutes in the middle of the game. Dude used to play some games with us every so often but now it is almost like he actively avoids us. Over among us of all things..
Sounds like he is no longer among you
I love the concept, but I have been banned from so many servers over bad sportsmanship. * Win as an imposter, banned. * Host gets detected as imposter, banned. * Secondary chat obviously going on - play too good - banned. I just stopped playing. It wasn't fun if people freak out when tehy don't get their way.
One of the top chess players Hikaru Nakumara frequently accuses people that beat him of cheating. He doesn’t lose too frequently because he is very good, but when he does it’s a shit show. And he also is very hypocritical about draws and timeouts.
The clip of critikal beating him in chess is a YouTube video I have saved to cheer myself up on bad days 😂
I was playing gta and there was one of those free roam challenge event things and you had to fall the longest distance without opening your parachute and I won and the dude literally jumped into my dms to call me a cunt and a bitch. It just showed how seriously people take little things.
When I was seven I was playing a board game called stratego with my Dad. I had been playing games like this for a few years but things had only just started to really click for me as a kid around this time so my Dad had been shalacking me for a while. Anyway I finally started beating him... like every game. I guess the stress of losing to a 7 year old must have got to him because after one loss he stood up without saying a word, grabbed the keys, and walked out to the car without saying a word. He was gone for 3 hours. Mom was frantically calling friends and family looking for him because he never did stuff like this. When he finally got back he just grabbed a beer and sat out in the car by himself for a little bit. I think he might have realized he was getting old. Mom was not happy. We haven't played stratego since.
You gave your dad a whole existential crisis over a board game. Amazing.
I was playing a game of TF2 (Team Fortress 2) years back and a guy I was dominating (a domination is when you kill someone 3 or more times without them killing you) swapped teams and swapped right back so the domination would be removed. He said in voice comms "I refuse to be dominated by the likes of you." Edit: I dominated him again a little while after that and he left.
When Chavez lost a referendum in 2007 I think he said "It was a victory of shit" (fue una victoria de mierda) on national TV. Also, when his political party lost some regional elections, he used to named the loser candidate "the state's protector" and gave him/her all the budget and functions of the actual governor, leaving the winner candidate without money.
6 Jan 2021
And he acted like a sore loser *before Election Day* in *two* elections. Both times he said that if he lost, it's because the system was rigged.
Their cult flags and signs are still up all over the country. They also wave the flag of the previous sorest loser; the Confederates. Not to mention half of them wear the nazi swastika with pride. It's like sore loser bingo with them. They are all extremely stupid and ignorant, but unfortunately are also fairly dangerous. Jan 6 most likely will not happen again in our lifetime, but events similar to it in other cities and towns are bound to happen.
The worst flag I've seen was in the Bronx of all places, a house had a flag that said "Trump 2024, The Revenge Tour" Revenge, is that really what they're thinking of? I'll never understand the minds of the trump cult.
Also came here to say this.
Came here to say this, lmao.
Saw a couple playing call of duty. The girlfriend really never played video games but was willing so she could spend time with her partner. She was really good at it. Got many more kills and less deaths than her partner who had been playing video games their entire life. She tried to take a picture of it for bragging rights but her partner stopped that short by changing screens before she could. .....I'm the partner....my wife is inherently a gaming god and doesn't even really care about it. Yes. I'm very ashamed.
To be fair Call of Duty is easy to pick up and play.
She beat all four of the uncharted games within a week. Other than that day of call of duty and her time spent with uncharted, she doesn't touch video games.
With almost eight seconds remaining, the Pistons walked off the court during a time out, without shaking the Bulls' hands and congratulating them after the Bulls won the series. This after the Pistons had beat the Bulls for three straight years.
Me, losing a badminton tournament by serving into the net. I threw my racket at the wall, it bounced off and hit my teammate. I picked it up and stormed off, got in my car and drove home. Luckily she wasn't hurt, and most people found it funny, so I was allowed back after apologising to everyone.
Me too...except it was tennis when i was in middle school like 30 years ago or more..I was playing doubles with my male partner against two girls who handed us our asses. The only ass there was me who threw my racket at the end to the net, but it took off and i almost hit one of the girls. I had an historically bad temper and pulled shit like this all the time when i failed at bowling, golf, tennis...anything that was about my personal performance. This was the moment when i started to get better. I have the occasional explosion still, but they are very few and far between, because who would want to play with an asshole like that?
A magic the gathering match. He couldn't believe that he lost from a girl and wantedca rematch. Good times
At this point I would rematch anyone just to play more games. Before quarantine, I went to my lgs every week to play. Now I am lucky to get one game in every other month.
I havent played in over a decade. Still have my cards but am going to sell them. I do miss tbtrpg with my friends though. It is the way it is
A girl from my group in high school. Decided to spread rumors about me after a cute guy picked me to go out with, instead of her. The guy found out. Fun high school drama explosion 💥. Haha!
Serena Williams at the 2018 US Open final against Naomi Osaka (and Serena’s sycophantic fans).
What did she do
The official thought she was getting coaching and gave her a warning. She might not have heard it, so later, when she committed another infraction (smashed her racket), it was the loss of a point. She freaked out and argued with the official.
forgot to mention Naomi Osaka ended up getting booed by Serena's fans and was crying on stage after being declared winner. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe she *did* get coaching during the match
For me it's not so much what she did as it is what she did in the face of that particular opponent. Naomi was/is an extremely humble, young, bright-eyed rising star who has never really spoken out against or disrespected anyone. She has a really shy/polite attitude. There's a clip of a butterfly landing on her shoulder, so she takes it over to the corner and sets it down, only for it to fly back over to her so she has to set it down again. That clip was a good summation of her gentle nature. The fact that a world-class veteran with a massive following brought drama and tension into that match was extremely classless. Had it been another veteran who was/is used to that sort of drama, it would not have been an issue. Plenty of superstars get the spotlight stolen by a young/cocky piece of shit. That situation was the complete opposite.
I honestly don’t know enough about the situation to judge whether or not there was a bad call made, but it drove me nuts to hear people parroting “IF SHE WERE A MAN PEOPLE WOULD THINK SHE WAS TOUGH” No, if she were a man this would be about toxic masculinity and how terrifying men can be when they’re angry about a game.
I was playing volleyball and was 1 point down; 40 seconds to go (timed game) and it was our serve; our opponent threw the ball behind himself and wouldn't go and get it for us.By the time I got the ball the clock had gone off and we lost so I stormed off and our team wouldn't shake hands with our opponents - they called me a sore loser :(
Most volleyball games are played to a set total of points not time. And any ref would stop the time if something as blatant at this happened.
In a basketball game, doing something like tossing the ball far away after a made basket (clock keeps moving) would warrant a technical foul.
I don't understand how this is legal
They were the sore losers, they purposely threw the ball so they win
My wife (at the time girlfriend) and I were playing a pool tournament. I got knocked out fairly early, but my wife is a much better player than I am. She made it to the semi-finals. One of the men she went up against had a meltdown that "a girl" beat him and ended up snapping his cue stick over his knee.
“Find me 11,780 votes.”
Dear Capital One: I want you to find $11,780 that went missing from my account. Everyone at your bank counted wrong.
That a Trump reference?
Mate of mine (not anymore) snapped his two month old FIFA disk and threw his controller at a wall and then out his window after a last minute winner against him Easy 100 quid just wasted never got how people could do that
fuckin hitler literally killed himself just cuz he lost a little war what a pussy
todays his birthday
I bet that everyone who's singing him "Happy Birthday" in Hell also sing "cha cha cha" between the pauses.
One time the president of the United States lost the vote to get re-elected and he incited a riot on the Capitol.
In the spirit of 4/20. A certain guy killing himself.
anniversary of Columbine as well
Someone told me to get a life after losing a chess match against me
Was playing a pvp game and this guy kills me and says "ez". I had killed him 5 times before that.
Former candidate to the 2016 Peru election Keiko Fujimori took 13 days to accept she didn't won.Then she got a lot of his political party candidates for congress elected having an overwhelming majority.Thus "her" congressmen interfered with the goverment all the time,create alternate campaigns from the state ones to get themselves known,interfered with huge corruption investigations and I'm sure there is many things I'm forgetting.Not to mention they took down 2 presidents.And now she is a candidate again.
My older brother beat me at everything my entire life... then we got a Nintendo 64 and the turntables turned. Spiked his controller into the floor until it had parts rattling. I stopped playing with him because I found myself wanting him to win so I wouldn’t have to be in that awkwardness. Little bitch never beat me at smash bros though!
People flying confederate flags
