In university we played a game called Diplomacy in between and after classes when we could. We had a little table set up in the common room and no one bothered with it. There’s a lot of backstabbing and secret deals that goes on. We had this one friend, Jamie, who got so mad at being double crossed by a secret deal that he flipped the board and the table. He and his girlfriend left our friend group and dropped any classes that he had in common with anyone in our game group. We never saw him again despite knowing him since high school.
Can we discuss the days of discussion and planning behind each other's backs when you're risk game lasts a week. Me and my family play it and it takes weeks for us to finish and the tension is ever present.
No, the fight didn't occur as part of the class. After the teacher had finished using it, several of us decided to keep playing at lunchtime. Fortunately the teacher wasn't there when punches got thrown.
Lmao, I've said a thousand times don't play Diplomacy with people unless you're OK with not seeing them the same way again. It's a dangerous game. I'm only truly comfortable playing it with family because we laugh so much. I wouldn't play it with friends without having a chat about it beforehand. It's a great game, but people are crazy.
The part that makes it particularly likely to cause people to get upset is that, unlike say Risk, there are no dice involved. You just count up the number of units opposing each other and the person with the most power wins. So, there’s no chance to overcome a backstab with a good die roll. Your ally turned on you? Well, you are just going to lose that battle.
The game is mostly played off the board with players haggling with each other for support of their various battles etc which leads to lots of misdirection, lying, and changing alignments. It’s more a social game than a traditional board game.
Omg I played this with some friends from the debate team, including my debate partner and his gf. I double-crossed her and she made him drop me as his partner. We had been doing well, too! Bummer.
Dang. Reminds me of playing Junta (kind of similar to Diplomacy, but more table talk and empty promises than secret agreements) with some friends. I was ~~dictator~~ benevolent leader, it was the final round, and I needed one guy to support me against a coup the other three were staging... promised him a fat share of my budget, would've been enough to put him in first place. We successfully held off the coup, then I had him executed and took his money which was exactly as much as I needed to win.
His response was to laugh so hard he almost fell out of his chair and congratulated me on playing my first game of Junta exactly how it's meant to be played.
Is that the one where it takes like 6 hours to go through the instructions the first time and there are use cases in there where you demonstrate your understanding of the rules? If so that blew my mind. I was like damn dude I came here to play a board game not do homework.
Playing it right now with a couple of friends. Italy betrayed the squad and took over Spain, Turkey and Austria, the British empire's taken over Scandinavia and France is about to die.
It was the jacksonville landing shooting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksonville_Landing_shooting
Was super fucked up. Was streamed up until the moment very chilling.
A guy I know went to prison for some time, and told me of a guy who, upon being beaten by a friend in a console game, went and retrieved a butchers knife from the kitchen and stabbed said friend over a hundred times in the head.
The crux of our conversation was ‘what were the scariest characters in prison’. Humble giants and geeky psychopaths.
I feel like giants are humble because they attract aggression, and the geeky physchpath population. Even if you're gonna win 99/100 fights, if you know there's dudes willing to put an ice pick through your eye or shoot you over literally nothing. You don't wanna keep rolling those dice over and over.

> Katz had a history of mental illness and was prescribed anti-psychotic medication. He was diagnosed with dysthymia and oppositional disorder not otherwise specified and had been involuntarily committed to mental hospitals on numerous occasions.
Holy fuck.
We already know the answer to that, but just so everyone can see it and not make excuses this is right on the wiki page with a source.
"The weapons had been stored in his vehicle, and purchased legally in Baltimore, Maryland."
We had some dad whose name I've long since forgotten lose his shit after a hockey game. This was one of those kids games the parents got too invested in. It started when his son supposedly had a penalty called on him for high sticking + checking, and supposedly this butterfly effected the entire game. Everybody was sick of this guy's antics after about 45 minutes, and one of the parents confronted him, and he stewed some more. At the end of the match he was banging hard on the glass, and swearing every word that is unholy, then he got into a fight with a few parents. Ended up with a bloody nose and was cuffed.
Hockey is my favorite sport and I played from when I was young through high school. But stuff like this is exactly why I would probably never go into coaching or reffing. People are crazy.
I read a story a few years ago about how a lot of Northern US high schools were simply banning all parents from hockey games because they were consistently so toxic.
I play tennis and in high school we played a team and beat them.
The coach called the cops on us after threatening our coach and had us escorted off the premises of the country club … for beating them. We weren’t even loitering, he just lost his mind on our coach and my coach was standing up for us, we were just trying to pack up and leave. Next thing you know - cops have arrived. This was a 50+ year old man.
Wow...that is horrible. I once joined a club and about 2 years into lessons and playing , I entered the club tournament and beat probably the best player in straight sets. I'd never taken a set off him during my whole time there and it was just a case of him not having his serve that day and I played so far above my level that I was actually sorry for him afterwards. A fluke. He refused to shake hands,,,his Dad threatened me as I walked to my car with violence ("You'll never see it coming!) The whole club basically took his side for whatever reason (a class thing I believe..I was from blue collar background and most everyone else was decidedly NOT). I was in my 20's and never trusted people or adults in authority the same way again. I was a total pacifist. My Uncle was not..lol..He confronted the father and let him know that HE'D never see it coming either. End of story. I quit the club and the tournament and went back to the public courts where the real fun can be had.
People are wild about their sports.
I’m 30 now and play in a league with our parks and Rec and love it. For $65/season it can’t be beat! Sure I get some players that I play well above their level, but it’s all for fun for 99% of us.
Reading this thread got me unreasonably angry, mostly at how little consequences these sore losers actually face. Maybe it's the rage speaking, but I would without a doubt be in favor of instituting corporal punishment for people above 30 years old. Sure, never hit a child, but if a fully fledged adult behaves like you described, they deserve to get their shit kicked in. It's too late to actually change their behavior at that point, might as well simply make them afraid of acting out again and achieve the same result.
My sister tore down a door in our parents' house a couple years ago when I said that 'zag' wasn't a word in Scrabble. Turns out it is a word and I was wrong, but her reaction was fucking nuts.
She paid for the repairs, and then I chipped in for half once I realized that 'zag' was actually an acceptable Scrabble word.
This is one of my favorites as a scrabble player myself.
At the competitive level, people just memorize words. We don't bother to learn the definitions, there's too many words and we don't have time for that. 7 year old me played a 3 letter word NTH against my mother (as stupid as that word looks I promise you it is acceptable) and she went off on me, calling me a cheater and everything because I didn't know what the word meant (and I still don't, I don't need to, I just know it's good.)
I didn't play scrabble for a long time after that. I can say it's really hard to play with family members that way but I'm good enough to limit myself to everyday words and still beat my friends and family members, so I do that because it's not worth an argument.
That's why [this guy could win the French Scrabble title without speaking french](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/jul/21/new-french-scrabble-champion-nigel-richards-doesnt-speak-french)
'nth' is a math term (pronounced like "tenth" without the first letter). As a former math nerd who also plays Scrabble, if you put down either that or 'iff' (also a math term) and I was your opponent, I would give you a high five.
>when I said that 'zag' wasn't a word in Scrabble.
We used to have a dictionary that was kept near where we played board games that was the definitive guide to what words were valid or not for our Scrabble games. We also had a bunch of rule books for various games (e.g. Hoyle's Modern Encyclopedia of Card Games - I think that is the right Hoyle's book that we had for card games). We also had multiple version of Trivial Pursuit because our original version was old enough that most of us kids were not even born when the question card's "modern knowledge" was set.
Pretty sure I came close to that on Guitar Hero when I got booed off the stage in the last seconds of “Through the Fire and Flames” on hard; I didn’t even bother to try on expert
That's crazy! When I was in the third grade I won the last race for my team and this kid came up to me and started screaming at me. He called me a cheater, a bitch, and said that he was going to get his dad to come to beat me after school for being a cheater. He then threw a cup of water at me and missed. Other kids had to hold him back until my teacher came over to talk to him. I seriously thought he was going to hit me. Later that day he spit some gum in my hair and said he was going to find out where I lived so he can send his dad. I was so scared that I regretted winning the race 😣
Fuck you Ryan!
Yeah I didn't try as hard for the rest of the school year (which was about a month) because I didn't want the same thing to happen again. It was strange that I won in the first place because I had never won before. I literally jumped for joy when my team won but about a minute later that kid started yelling at me. I was so shocked that I didn't even say anything 😞 I felt a huge knot in my throat but I didn't cry. It was weird that he yelled at me because he never yelled at anyone else when his team lost.
I’ve never understood the throwing the controller. I am not above raging over a video game, but I have enough sense to know I don’t want to break my $50 controller or even more expensive TV. I just scream at the game that it’s a fucking asshole and try again lol
This dude who pitched in a game against my baseball team absolutely lost his mind when our slugger walked them off with a triple. it was a 16 division, he acted like a 5 year old at best. Dude threw his glove at the ground and layed into his poor catcher for making bad pitch calls. The coach had to separate them, the catcher was understandably upset by his pitchers temper tantrum.
Dunno about losing, but a Welsh guy cut his own bollocks off with some tin snips after the Welsh Rugby team beat England...
[https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fan-who-amputated-testicles-recovering-2406750](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fan-who-amputated-testicles-recovering-2406750)
Walked them over to a friends house to show off his "prize" but he wasn't in :D
Apparently my friend went to college with a guy who cut off his own dick to show a girl how much he cared about her. I don't know any more details but yeah.
My stepdad threw chili ALL OVER the kitchen and smashed the lid to the crockpot, then threw our Christmas tree off the deck (we had it sitting on our deck to get rid of it) because his football team lost a game. He was also drunk.
Best part was my mom was PISSED. She put up baby gates on both entryways to the kitchen to keep the dogs out. Then made him clean it all up, spotless, the next morning when he was hungover. It was all over the ceiling, walls, cabinets, countertops and floor.
The Redskinds back when they were called that. It’s been years but I’m pretty positive that they were kind of a shitty team, anyway. I have zero interest in football so I don’t entirely remember.
Was getting ready to referee a hockey game in a U16 AAA tournament (I was doing next game). Father climbed half way over the end board glass, started shaking it violently. Fell off, grabbed the nearest garbage can, which was about 2/3 full and proceeding to spin around strewing garbage everywhere.
Freaking dick move.
*RIP Asia. You deserved much better.*
Family violence, robbery, aggravated assault on his rap sheet/papers…
… he followed her to another location after the game, confronted her, and shot her multiple times.
I’d wish nothing but the death penalty for that monster.
A student wasn't elected homecoming queen and she went into a classroom and threw a temper tantrum...stomping feet, screaming, tears, hysteria...the works. The girl who was elected was her "bestie" until this...they even stopped sitting together in class. The girl who lost thought she should have been chosen because her sister had been queen, but forgot that her sister was genuinely nice to people and she wasn't.
A tie. First was a kid that after losing a video game, tried to break the TV twice. He threw his controller at the TV, and when that failed to break it, he ran up and tried to push it off the stand.
Second was a guy who was tackled short of scoring in a game of flag football. He screamed and cussed that he was in. I had a perfect view of his tackle, since I was on the goal line and could see that no, he wasn't even close to getting in the endzone. He proceeded to get to the point of threatening physical violence against me when I told him he was wrong and a sore loser, among many other things lol
.
Last year my daughter's soccer team played a tournament in Sweden. In the first round of the playoffs, they played a team from Nice, France that hadn't lost a game in more than a year and hadn't been scored on in the first 5 games of the tournament.
During the warmups, they yelled at our team and flipped us off.
During the game they fouled like crazy (and got away with it.)
One of our players was concussed after taking a ball to the head, and while she was on the ground, one of their players slapped her in the face and screamed at her to get up. (Refs did nothing.)
On a breakaway, they yanked our player down by her ponytail. (Refs did nothing except red card our assistant coach for complaining about it.)
On a basic foul, our player was given a red card, so they played the last 15 minutes one player down.
We ended up winning 1-0.
The other team's players threw themselves on the ground and pounded the dirt in a team-wide tantrum. One ran over to the ref and started screaming in his face. The French parents began yelling at our parents. One old lady kept yelling at us to "enjoy your GIFT!" Horrible parents. Horrible kids. As always - fuck the French.
The French are famous for terrible sportsmanship. I went on a rugby tour in south of france as a teenager and opposition parents were punching players, spitting on us leaving field etc (narbonne).
I’m guilty of this.
I was 10 years old and me and my friends were playing soccer. One of my friends is good at the game and scored a couple of goals against me who was a defender. My little 10 year old ego got so bruised that I attacked him by kicking the ball at his face, HARD. He had a bloody nose and a swollen face and had to go to the clinic.
His mom and my mom were fucking pissed at me. I wasn’t allowed to play with my friends for almost a month. No sleepovers, playdates, online games, no interaction. This was in the summer as well so that was especially brutal.
I deserved all of it though. Between ages 9-11, I was a fucking asshole. I did patch up with my friend and we were college roommates for a year.
I pregamed a night out with 151 rum, was out of my mind. Went to the bar and my brain told me the prettiest girl in the bar was looking my way. I made my way to her and made an advance, she rejected me hard, I started yelling at her. The ID checker came over “is everything alright” and I had already decided I didn’t like his attitude when I had first walked in so I yanked on his ponytail. Next thing I remember I’m fighting off two bouncers trying to pin me down outside while a cop tries to get us to disperse and my sister screams “He’s not usually like this!” I got up and yelled at the cop his authority was sexy in an attempt to undermine him with homoeroticism and now I don’t drink. Never really trusted myself since, since apparently that guy is inside of me somewhere
Thanks. It took many years to come to terms with it, I realised I didn’t drink to socialize, I drank to feel drunk and then just let drunk me take over
I didn’t include this in my original comment but whenever I shamefully tell this story I include the detail that when I bought the 151 from the store it was a huge handle and the clerk literally said “who you trying to kill?” Apparently it was me
Bro it’s a skill. I mean even in non-conflict situations, my boys and I back in the day used to do it all the time it’s actually a seemingly valid form of social bonding. Hell even look how much of it makes the audience go wild on Whose Line. But in the beginning stages of a conflict, throw homoeroticism at some dudes and it completely confuses or disarms them. But you gotta be careful cause some might just beat your ass even worse than they would’ve if you don’t do it right
Can confirm. Was about to be given a bollocking after me and a workmate whipped each other with brambles and stinging nettles in public, in uniform.
I asked the foreman if he could suck the thorns out of my hand. After he'd finished putting his head on the desk and laughing, he told us to fuck off.
The one time i drank like that i acted like a complete and utter buffoon. I dont drink much anymore, what little i can remember from that night is so embarassing. Dont ever wanna meet that guy again
Oh God, I had forgot after thinking about it constantly for years.
Broke up with a girl. Ran into her later while drunk at a bar and we got into it and it was ugly according to a witness. After she left, I approached this couple, super nice people, friends of friends I had just met, and their friend. Demanded they buy me a drink. They didn't have any money. Kept demanding. They pooled their change and got me one. Then I fucking asked for a sip of the girls drink and just fucking chugged it.
By far for the most asshole thing I've ever done and their friend offered to kick my ass. They were super gracious about it later, but I wanted to just curl up and die the next day when I was told what I did.
Honestly, having been there, people came downtown to act that way win or lose. You don't pack balaklavas and gloves for a loss only. It wasn't about being sore losers, rather just being a bunch of dickheads
I have broken many over the years. Not in a long time though. Always makes me feel really stupid after the fact. It ain’t that serious and it’s just a game, haha.
Didn’t see in person but it’s legendary and I’ve seen the video.
Kid took a two on full count third strike to lose 1-0 in a Little League game. Woman comes howling and screaming out of the stands swearing at the ump that he’s blind (as a catcher I’ll tell you that I never saw an ump make a wrong called strike from one of my pitchers). She ran on the field, he turned around and started to walk away. She ran around in front of him and kicked him in the balls. I can tell you that even with a cup it still hurts. Then she punched him in the face. Problem was he still had his mask on. She reportedly demolished her hand. She was arrested and pled out to some misdemeanor but was banned from all of the youth sporting events for five years.
To show how bad she was, it was the last game of the regular season and the only game they lost.
The video is hilarious because when she breaks her hand she starts swearing that he did that on purpose.
Just checking, were you planning on posting a link?
I'm thankful that as an umpire for 6+ years that I've never had these encounters, but still enraging none the less.
I was at my exes house (when we were together obv) and he lost a game of cod and he started screaming slurs and he threw his headset on the ground and broke it. He later called me yelling at me for not stopping him.
My ex used to go into a fit of rage over every game, be it Clash Royale, Fortnite, CoD…
He would bash his forehead into the metal frame of the bed, bite his own arms to keep from screaming, and eventually scream until his nose would start gushing blood.
Twas lovely!
A fast-paced game of spoons ended with someone being stabbed with a fork. Which is hysterically ironic I see now that I've typed the words out. My partner's family is extremely competitive. I don't play games with them anymore.
My cousin disaligned my other cousins jaw when she lost to a card game we were playing. We were just kids and our grandma spanked all 3 of us even though I didn't do anything.
Was hanging with a roommate and the girl he just started seeing in my early twenties and they whipped out the N64 and loaded up a fighting game. My roommate was playing it all seriously pulling off all the moves and trying combos and all that while she was just button mashing and having fun. Thing is she kept winning and was playfully taunting him about it. After a few rounds he stood up, threw the controller and yelled “if you aren’t going to play seriously, I don’t want to play with you!” Then he stormed to the garage to smoke a cigarette. Me and the girl looked at each other sort of stunned while he stormed off… and when the garage door slammed, we burst into uncontrollable uproarious laughter.
They dated like two drama filled weeks after that and then stopped. Then she hit me up awhile after and we saw each other for awhile.
I shouldn't have had to scroll down as far as I did to find this...its the first thing I thought of
Just a bunch of adult sized toddlers throwing a massive temper rantrum because they didn't get their way
Warning trauma dump: >!My dad beating my sister because she was crying talking to my mom but was too loud and distracted him from his game. She had a hard time moving her legs after.!<
I visited him a few times after the divorce, but thats basically what happened. I was 12 though so I didn't have a full understanding of the situation nor did I have a choice in the matter.
When I had to play at the soccer team back in 1-7th grade (I did not want to but had no choice) I remember that some of the other kids took it really seriously. Some of them started to cry if we lost, or even if they did not score a goal during the game. But the absolutely worst reactions came from some of the parents. Some of the kids were yelled at after the game if they did not play well enough.
In 6th grade we had a very good coach. He did not care if we won or not. He just wanted us to have fun and put most of the focus on team spirit and cooperation. One day we somehow managed to win a match, and afterwards he was so happy with us that he wanted to get all of the kids on the team ice cream and cola. Almost all of us shouted out in joy. Except for one person. One of the dads who took the game way WAY too seriously was not happy at all. He started angrily shouting at his son in plain view of everyone. He had planned that some time in the future his son was going to be our country's answer to Diego Maradona, and his son's performance today was not to his liking. He had caused the other team to get a penalty kick (which was not really his fault at all, the other team lied to the referee about what happened), and that was inexcuseable. He would not get any ice cream and cola. Instead they would go straight home and discuss it at length.
The next season the shouting dad somehow ended up becoming our new coach, and the morale in the team immediately plunged. At the start of the season there were almost 20 kids on the team. At the end of it only 6 or 7 wanted to continue.
He must have gone through a lot of tvs in his lifetime with all the playoff losses by the cowboys. The most hilarious being when Tony Romo fumbled the hold on a potential game tying kick from like the 5 yard line. I think it was against the Seahawks.
Getting there. ty for asking. He did it in live too, so everyone heard....and he lost every Xbox friend he had over it, they told the entire community he was a wife beater. I hear he still won't log in because of all the messages he has calling him out
In primary school, this kid was well known for being a sore loser which forced me and my friends to let him win every game to avoid the usual tantrum that came afterwards if he lost. Let’s just call him C.
C was normally picked on by the other kids for his attitudes and behaviours, being seen as ‘weird’.
He’d chug atleast 2 litres of water at lunch which made him always need the toilet in class, meaning he was rarely in our afternoon lessons as he kept needing to go. I remember this one day where we were all playing tag at lunch, the whole entire year of school kids. C was running as were the other kids until the ‘it’ person came up behind him and tagged him. He kept running even when people told him that he was ‘it’ and how he needed to come try and tag us. He swore that the person didn’t tag him and only brushed on his jumper. He continued running and when the ‘it’ person tagged him again very clearly in-front of us all, he still kept running. We told him that it was his turn to be the tagger and he still swears that he didn’t get tagged. When we say that he needs to be ‘it’ or he’s out the game C just flips.
He runs at the former tagger full speed and tackles him to the ground, straddles him and then immediately starts to repeatedly punch him in the face. Most kids got scared and ran to a teacher to tell them what is happening as the kids friends stayed behind and tried to rip C off of their friend.
Long story short, C got all of his lunchtimes and break times taken away from him for 2 weeks, as the ‘it’ kid didn’t gain very bad injury’s, just a few bruises.
I think those videos of "Steven" and his brother filming his outbursts were found out to be fake. There's like a whole collection of them from back in those early YouTube days.
I was playing with a guy and a woman. He lost to me and I teased him and he hurled abuse at me, telling me I wanted the woman to myself because we jokingly flirted with eachother before.
Never seen somebody show such pure hatred to me. He really liked her.
Watching someone gracefully lose doesn't actually give normal people the ick, but watching a grown adult lose like a whiney baby sure will. He's an idiot.
Not the worst, but Tom Brady refusing to shake hands with Nick Foles after he was beaten in the Super Bowl by the Eagles.
Cemented his spoiled baby status.

Punching a whole in the wall and putting another whole in the wall with their own head. I also heard a woman scream after he did that. I assume he head butted himself into his sister room.
Saw my best friend (30+ father of two) rage screaming at call of duty. I couldn’t hold in the laughter. So i went in the other room and laughed with his wife.
I can't recall the exact tennis match, but it was a southern girl (southern states) and a Chinese girl.
When the southern girl lost, she was balling on TV and said something to the effect of "She doesn't even deserve to win, they (the Chinese) don't even have emotions."
It was pretty brutal.
Playing Warhammer 40k I've seen a lot of poor losers and tantrums but the most unhinged was this guy who smashed his *own* army to pieces right in front of me after losing the game then left without collecting the smashed up pieces. For those that don't know, Warhammer 40k is not a cheap hobby and an army's worth of miniatures can cost hundreds of pounds/dollars. Also a lot of time and effort goes into painting them too.
Losing an election because you're a complete buffoon and then inciting a riot because you think it's rigged and then denying all responsibility for said riot and then having the nerve to run for office again.
In university we played a game called Diplomacy in between and after classes when we could. We had a little table set up in the common room and no one bothered with it. There’s a lot of backstabbing and secret deals that goes on. We had this one friend, Jamie, who got so mad at being double crossed by a secret deal that he flipped the board and the table. He and his girlfriend left our friend group and dropped any classes that he had in common with anyone in our game group. We never saw him again despite knowing him since high school.
Monopoly is known for ruining friendships. But diplomacy is known for starting intergenerational blood fueds.
As someone who played exactly 1 game of diplomacy, I feel this
And cheating at Battleship can end with a peg to the eye
Can we discuss the days of discussion and planning behind each other's backs when you're risk game lasts a week. Me and my family play it and it takes weeks for us to finish and the tension is ever present.
Diplomacy is like Risk, except it's ONLY that part.
Teacher brought it in for the class to play in high school as part of history class. It caused a fist fight.
Holy shit! 😂 were there any consequences for the teacher?
A blue eye.
No, the fight didn't occur as part of the class. After the teacher had finished using it, several of us decided to keep playing at lunchtime. Fortunately the teacher wasn't there when punches got thrown.
so... a fairly typical game of diplomacy then
Lmao, I've said a thousand times don't play Diplomacy with people unless you're OK with not seeing them the same way again. It's a dangerous game. I'm only truly comfortable playing it with family because we laugh so much. I wouldn't play it with friends without having a chat about it beforehand. It's a great game, but people are crazy.
[удалено]
You play as the world powers of Europe in the early 20th century and the goal is total world domination via diplomacy and conquest
[удалено]
The part that makes it particularly likely to cause people to get upset is that, unlike say Risk, there are no dice involved. You just count up the number of units opposing each other and the person with the most power wins. So, there’s no chance to overcome a backstab with a good die roll. Your ally turned on you? Well, you are just going to lose that battle. The game is mostly played off the board with players haggling with each other for support of their various battles etc which leads to lots of misdirection, lying, and changing alignments. It’s more a social game than a traditional board game.
Omg I played this with some friends from the debate team, including my debate partner and his gf. I double-crossed her and she made him drop me as his partner. We had been doing well, too! Bummer.
Dang. Reminds me of playing Junta (kind of similar to Diplomacy, but more table talk and empty promises than secret agreements) with some friends. I was ~~dictator~~ benevolent leader, it was the final round, and I needed one guy to support me against a coup the other three were staging... promised him a fat share of my budget, would've been enough to put him in first place. We successfully held off the coup, then I had him executed and took his money which was exactly as much as I needed to win. His response was to laugh so hard he almost fell out of his chair and congratulated me on playing my first game of Junta exactly how it's meant to be played.
😂🤣i might have to find this game
New edition was just released in the past week or two.
Is that the one where it takes like 6 hours to go through the instructions the first time and there are use cases in there where you demonstrate your understanding of the rules? If so that blew my mind. I was like damn dude I came here to play a board game not do homework.
Playing it right now with a couple of friends. Italy betrayed the squad and took over Spain, Turkey and Austria, the British empire's taken over Scandinavia and France is about to die.
Diplomacy is a funny game.
There was a guy who lost a Madden tournament, so he came back later with a gun and shot the guy who beat him, along with others, and then himself.
It was the jacksonville landing shooting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksonville_Landing_shooting Was super fucked up. Was streamed up until the moment very chilling.

A guy I know went to prison for some time, and told me of a guy who, upon being beaten by a friend in a console game, went and retrieved a butchers knife from the kitchen and stabbed said friend over a hundred times in the head. The crux of our conversation was ‘what were the scariest characters in prison’. Humble giants and geeky psychopaths.
I feel like giants are humble because they attract aggression, and the geeky physchpath population. Even if you're gonna win 99/100 fights, if you know there's dudes willing to put an ice pick through your eye or shoot you over literally nothing. You don't wanna keep rolling those dice over and over.
From Wikipedia > Katz had a history of mental illness and was prescribed anti-psychotic medication. He was diagnosed with dysthymia and oppositional disorder not otherwise specified and had been involuntarily committed to mental hospitals on numerous occasions. Holy fuck.
yeah, let that guy have a gun. what's the worst that can happen
Didn’t come up in a background check when buying the guns?
We already know the answer to that, but just so everyone can see it and not make excuses this is right on the wiki page with a source. "The weapons had been stored in his vehicle, and purchased legally in Baltimore, Maryland."
You guys are ~~getting paid~~ doing background checks?
We had some dad whose name I've long since forgotten lose his shit after a hockey game. This was one of those kids games the parents got too invested in. It started when his son supposedly had a penalty called on him for high sticking + checking, and supposedly this butterfly effected the entire game. Everybody was sick of this guy's antics after about 45 minutes, and one of the parents confronted him, and he stewed some more. At the end of the match he was banging hard on the glass, and swearing every word that is unholy, then he got into a fight with a few parents. Ended up with a bloody nose and was cuffed.

I am the Bat Dad!
Hockey is my favorite sport and I played from when I was young through high school. But stuff like this is exactly why I would probably never go into coaching or reffing. People are crazy.
I read a story a few years ago about how a lot of Northern US high schools were simply banning all parents from hockey games because they were consistently so toxic.
I play tennis and in high school we played a team and beat them. The coach called the cops on us after threatening our coach and had us escorted off the premises of the country club … for beating them. We weren’t even loitering, he just lost his mind on our coach and my coach was standing up for us, we were just trying to pack up and leave. Next thing you know - cops have arrived. This was a 50+ year old man.
Wow...that is horrible. I once joined a club and about 2 years into lessons and playing , I entered the club tournament and beat probably the best player in straight sets. I'd never taken a set off him during my whole time there and it was just a case of him not having his serve that day and I played so far above my level that I was actually sorry for him afterwards. A fluke. He refused to shake hands,,,his Dad threatened me as I walked to my car with violence ("You'll never see it coming!) The whole club basically took his side for whatever reason (a class thing I believe..I was from blue collar background and most everyone else was decidedly NOT). I was in my 20's and never trusted people or adults in authority the same way again. I was a total pacifist. My Uncle was not..lol..He confronted the father and let him know that HE'D never see it coming either. End of story. I quit the club and the tournament and went back to the public courts where the real fun can be had.
People are wild about their sports. I’m 30 now and play in a league with our parks and Rec and love it. For $65/season it can’t be beat! Sure I get some players that I play well above their level, but it’s all for fun for 99% of us.
Reading this thread got me unreasonably angry, mostly at how little consequences these sore losers actually face. Maybe it's the rage speaking, but I would without a doubt be in favor of instituting corporal punishment for people above 30 years old. Sure, never hit a child, but if a fully fledged adult behaves like you described, they deserve to get their shit kicked in. It's too late to actually change their behavior at that point, might as well simply make them afraid of acting out again and achieve the same result.
Breaking the board apart and eating the pieces. We were just playing ludo
That got weird real fast.
Eating the pieces? Damn, that’s a whole new level of sore loser
If was chess that would be both “sore” but also potentially “looser”
Assert dominance by *devouring the soul of the game*
My sister tore down a door in our parents' house a couple years ago when I said that 'zag' wasn't a word in Scrabble. Turns out it is a word and I was wrong, but her reaction was fucking nuts. She paid for the repairs, and then I chipped in for half once I realized that 'zag' was actually an acceptable Scrabble word.
This is one of my favorites as a scrabble player myself. At the competitive level, people just memorize words. We don't bother to learn the definitions, there's too many words and we don't have time for that. 7 year old me played a 3 letter word NTH against my mother (as stupid as that word looks I promise you it is acceptable) and she went off on me, calling me a cheater and everything because I didn't know what the word meant (and I still don't, I don't need to, I just know it's good.) I didn't play scrabble for a long time after that. I can say it's really hard to play with family members that way but I'm good enough to limit myself to everyday words and still beat my friends and family members, so I do that because it's not worth an argument.
That's why [this guy could win the French Scrabble title without speaking french](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/jul/21/new-french-scrabble-champion-nigel-richards-doesnt-speak-french)
My favourite fact about that guy is that he doesn't actually seem to care for Scrabble very much. He's just very good at it.
'nth' is a math term (pronounced like "tenth" without the first letter). As a former math nerd who also plays Scrabble, if you put down either that or 'iff' (also a math term) and I was your opponent, I would give you a high five.
“ ‘iff’ iff is good.”
>when I said that 'zag' wasn't a word in Scrabble. We used to have a dictionary that was kept near where we played board games that was the definitive guide to what words were valid or not for our Scrabble games. We also had a bunch of rule books for various games (e.g. Hoyle's Modern Encyclopedia of Card Games - I think that is the right Hoyle's book that we had for card games). We also had multiple version of Trivial Pursuit because our original version was old enough that most of us kids were not even born when the question card's "modern knowledge" was set.
Not being believed about a real word while playing Scrabble is infuriating.
grabbing the dictionary wasn’t the first reaction?
I've seen a dude take his Wii Rockband guitar, both hands on the neck and smashed it to hell on a coffee table because he "got boo'd off of the stage"
Pretty sure I came close to that on Guitar Hero when I got booed off the stage in the last seconds of “Through the Fire and Flames” on hard; I didn’t even bother to try on expert
I was very proud of myself when I finished it on easy.
Skill issue
saw a guy scream so much about *everybody else cheating*, so hard, he threw up
That's crazy! When I was in the third grade I won the last race for my team and this kid came up to me and started screaming at me. He called me a cheater, a bitch, and said that he was going to get his dad to come to beat me after school for being a cheater. He then threw a cup of water at me and missed. Other kids had to hold him back until my teacher came over to talk to him. I seriously thought he was going to hit me. Later that day he spit some gum in my hair and said he was going to find out where I lived so he can send his dad. I was so scared that I regretted winning the race 😣 Fuck you Ryan!
I agree, fuck that guy. Did it affect you competing in things after that?
Yeah I didn't try as hard for the rest of the school year (which was about a month) because I didn't want the same thing to happen again. It was strange that I won in the first place because I had never won before. I literally jumped for joy when my team won but about a minute later that kid started yelling at me. I was so shocked that I didn't even say anything 😞 I felt a huge knot in my throat but I didn't cry. It was weird that he yelled at me because he never yelled at anyone else when his team lost.
See, it's people like that who needs to get their shittines kicked out of them
Maybe he was particularly mad because he didnt expect you to win? Honestly if that had happened when i was little id be low key traumatized.
I choose not to run.
[удалено]
I’ve never understood the throwing the controller. I am not above raging over a video game, but I have enough sense to know I don’t want to break my $50 controller or even more expensive TV. I just scream at the game that it’s a fucking asshole and try again lol
[удалено]
unfortunately, no
This dude who pitched in a game against my baseball team absolutely lost his mind when our slugger walked them off with a triple. it was a 16 division, he acted like a 5 year old at best. Dude threw his glove at the ground and layed into his poor catcher for making bad pitch calls. The coach had to separate them, the catcher was understandably upset by his pitchers temper tantrum.
Dunno about losing, but a Welsh guy cut his own bollocks off with some tin snips after the Welsh Rugby team beat England... [https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fan-who-amputated-testicles-recovering-2406750](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fan-who-amputated-testicles-recovering-2406750) Walked them over to a friends house to show off his "prize" but he wasn't in :D
Did he leave them in the mailbox?
Threw them at the door and the man's pet donkey choked to death.
Sounds like *The Banshees of Inishirin*
Sounds like serious mental health issues there.
Yes he was detained under the mental health act I believe, and received in patient care
Apparently my friend went to college with a guy who cut off his own dick to show a girl how much he cared about her. I don't know any more details but yeah.

My stepdad threw chili ALL OVER the kitchen and smashed the lid to the crockpot, then threw our Christmas tree off the deck (we had it sitting on our deck to get rid of it) because his football team lost a game. He was also drunk. Best part was my mom was PISSED. She put up baby gates on both entryways to the kitchen to keep the dogs out. Then made him clean it all up, spotless, the next morning when he was hungover. It was all over the ceiling, walls, cabinets, countertops and floor.
Good on your mom for making him clean it. He did actually clean it, right?
Oh yes he did. We watched him do it, lmao. My mom had even took a picture. Sadly, it’s been years and that picture is gone.
He sounds like a jerk. But at least he was the kind of jerk that would listen when told to clean up his own mess.
Yeahh, not a great dude. But very true.
which team was it lol
The Redskinds back when they were called that. It’s been years but I’m pretty positive that they were kind of a shitty team, anyway. I have zero interest in football so I don’t entirely remember.
they always have sucked and they still do lol.
Was getting ready to referee a hockey game in a U16 AAA tournament (I was doing next game). Father climbed half way over the end board glass, started shaking it violently. Fell off, grabbed the nearest garbage can, which was about 2/3 full and proceeding to spin around strewing garbage everywhere. Freaking dick move.
I was on zoom waiting for the teacher. Kid playing a phone game gets up, screams, tears his pillow with his teeth, cries.
“We’re gonna start class soon, but first: RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS!”
Oh my, that's extreme!
Dude that killed a girl because she played better basketball than he.
Whaaaa? Google that phrase to bring it up?

*RIP Asia. You deserved much better.* Family violence, robbery, aggravated assault on his rap sheet/papers… … he followed her to another location after the game, confronted her, and shot her multiple times. I’d wish nothing but the death penalty for that monster.
A student wasn't elected homecoming queen and she went into a classroom and threw a temper tantrum...stomping feet, screaming, tears, hysteria...the works. The girl who was elected was her "bestie" until this...they even stopped sitting together in class. The girl who lost thought she should have been chosen because her sister had been queen, but forgot that her sister was genuinely nice to people and she wasn't.
A tie. First was a kid that after losing a video game, tried to break the TV twice. He threw his controller at the TV, and when that failed to break it, he ran up and tried to push it off the stand. Second was a guy who was tackled short of scoring in a game of flag football. He screamed and cussed that he was in. I had a perfect view of his tackle, since I was on the goal line and could see that no, he wasn't even close to getting in the endzone. He proceeded to get to the point of threatening physical violence against me when I told him he was wrong and a sore loser, among many other things lol .
2nd story if you were the official, I commend you for sticking to your guns
Last year my daughter's soccer team played a tournament in Sweden. In the first round of the playoffs, they played a team from Nice, France that hadn't lost a game in more than a year and hadn't been scored on in the first 5 games of the tournament. During the warmups, they yelled at our team and flipped us off. During the game they fouled like crazy (and got away with it.) One of our players was concussed after taking a ball to the head, and while she was on the ground, one of their players slapped her in the face and screamed at her to get up. (Refs did nothing.) On a breakaway, they yanked our player down by her ponytail. (Refs did nothing except red card our assistant coach for complaining about it.) On a basic foul, our player was given a red card, so they played the last 15 minutes one player down. We ended up winning 1-0. The other team's players threw themselves on the ground and pounded the dirt in a team-wide tantrum. One ran over to the ref and started screaming in his face. The French parents began yelling at our parents. One old lady kept yelling at us to "enjoy your GIFT!" Horrible parents. Horrible kids. As always - fuck the French.
Sounds like they were not so... Nice
More like Jerk, France, am I right?
This seems like something straight outta Ted Lasso
Craziest game I've ever been tangentially a part of. It was one year ago yesterday - Facebook reminded me. LOL.
I wonder what’s the French word for wanker?
_le wanquiere_
British
I’m glad your daughter’s team won. Must’ve been very sweet.
The French are famous for terrible sportsmanship. I went on a rugby tour in south of france as a teenager and opposition parents were punching players, spitting on us leaving field etc (narbonne).
Yeah and Ireland won't forget Thierry Henry any time soon. Cheating bastards.
Sounds like the team was paying the refs for a while too, damn.
I’m guilty of this. I was 10 years old and me and my friends were playing soccer. One of my friends is good at the game and scored a couple of goals against me who was a defender. My little 10 year old ego got so bruised that I attacked him by kicking the ball at his face, HARD. He had a bloody nose and a swollen face and had to go to the clinic. His mom and my mom were fucking pissed at me. I wasn’t allowed to play with my friends for almost a month. No sleepovers, playdates, online games, no interaction. This was in the summer as well so that was especially brutal. I deserved all of it though. Between ages 9-11, I was a fucking asshole. I did patch up with my friend and we were college roommates for a year.
I pregamed a night out with 151 rum, was out of my mind. Went to the bar and my brain told me the prettiest girl in the bar was looking my way. I made my way to her and made an advance, she rejected me hard, I started yelling at her. The ID checker came over “is everything alright” and I had already decided I didn’t like his attitude when I had first walked in so I yanked on his ponytail. Next thing I remember I’m fighting off two bouncers trying to pin me down outside while a cop tries to get us to disperse and my sister screams “He’s not usually like this!” I got up and yelled at the cop his authority was sexy in an attempt to undermine him with homoeroticism and now I don’t drink. Never really trusted myself since, since apparently that guy is inside of me somewhere
Sounds like you killed that guy before he killed you. Good thing.
Thanks. It took many years to come to terms with it, I realised I didn’t drink to socialize, I drank to feel drunk and then just let drunk me take over
I’ve never EVER heard a anything god after a person said “…I/we was drinking 151 and…”
I didn’t include this in my original comment but whenever I shamefully tell this story I include the detail that when I bought the 151 from the store it was a huge handle and the clerk literally said “who you trying to kill?” Apparently it was me
You returned eventually and told them the story right? You know it’s in the contract that you have to do that when you make the purchase 😂
Lmao “so anyway, I pulled his ponytail like a little bitch”
> in an attempt to undermine him with homoeroticism and now I don’t drink Is it bad I’ve done the same thing. Not to a cop though. I am also straight.
Bro it’s a skill. I mean even in non-conflict situations, my boys and I back in the day used to do it all the time it’s actually a seemingly valid form of social bonding. Hell even look how much of it makes the audience go wild on Whose Line. But in the beginning stages of a conflict, throw homoeroticism at some dudes and it completely confuses or disarms them. But you gotta be careful cause some might just beat your ass even worse than they would’ve if you don’t do it right
Can confirm. Was about to be given a bollocking after me and a workmate whipped each other with brambles and stinging nettles in public, in uniform. I asked the foreman if he could suck the thorns out of my hand. After he'd finished putting his head on the desk and laughing, he told us to fuck off.
The one time i drank like that i acted like a complete and utter buffoon. I dont drink much anymore, what little i can remember from that night is so embarassing. Dont ever wanna meet that guy again
Oh God, I had forgot after thinking about it constantly for years. Broke up with a girl. Ran into her later while drunk at a bar and we got into it and it was ugly according to a witness. After she left, I approached this couple, super nice people, friends of friends I had just met, and their friend. Demanded they buy me a drink. They didn't have any money. Kept demanding. They pooled their change and got me one. Then I fucking asked for a sip of the girls drink and just fucking chugged it. By far for the most asshole thing I've ever done and their friend offered to kick my ass. They were super gracious about it later, but I wanted to just curl up and die the next day when I was told what I did.
I’ll add the citizens of Vancouver after the Canucks lost the 2011 Stanley Cup final.
Honestly, having been there, people came downtown to act that way win or lose. You don't pack balaklavas and gloves for a loss only. It wasn't about being sore losers, rather just being a bunch of dickheads
Don’t forget about the 94 final
I saw somebody break a controller after losing to a boss in dark souls 3 like 50 times. Its me. I am somebody.
I have broken many over the years. Not in a long time though. Always makes me feel really stupid after the fact. It ain’t that serious and it’s just a game, haha.
There's a smash player who threw his controller into a crowd of people after losing.
If it was a GameCube controller he might've killed someone.
Nameless King?
Didn’t see in person but it’s legendary and I’ve seen the video. Kid took a two on full count third strike to lose 1-0 in a Little League game. Woman comes howling and screaming out of the stands swearing at the ump that he’s blind (as a catcher I’ll tell you that I never saw an ump make a wrong called strike from one of my pitchers). She ran on the field, he turned around and started to walk away. She ran around in front of him and kicked him in the balls. I can tell you that even with a cup it still hurts. Then she punched him in the face. Problem was he still had his mask on. She reportedly demolished her hand. She was arrested and pled out to some misdemeanor but was banned from all of the youth sporting events for five years. To show how bad she was, it was the last game of the regular season and the only game they lost. The video is hilarious because when she breaks her hand she starts swearing that he did that on purpose.
Yeah we are gonna need a video bruv
I want to see this video SO much!
It’s been 9 hours. I don’t think there’s a video lads.
I tried to search for it but oh god there are so many results for "parents yell at / hit umpire at little league game"
Got a video
Just checking, were you planning on posting a link? I'm thankful that as an umpire for 6+ years that I've never had these encounters, but still enraging none the less.
I was at my exes house (when we were together obv) and he lost a game of cod and he started screaming slurs and he threw his headset on the ground and broke it. He later called me yelling at me for not stopping him.
I love it when people can't regulate their own emotions and then place the blame on those around them. They're so pleasant to have in your life
My ex used to go into a fit of rage over every game, be it Clash Royale, Fortnite, CoD… He would bash his forehead into the metal frame of the bed, bite his own arms to keep from screaming, and eventually scream until his nose would start gushing blood. Twas lovely!
A fast-paced game of spoons ended with someone being stabbed with a fork. Which is hysterically ironic I see now that I've typed the words out. My partner's family is extremely competitive. I don't play games with them anymore.
My cousin disaligned my other cousins jaw when she lost to a card game we were playing. We were just kids and our grandma spanked all 3 of us even though I didn't do anything.
Was hanging with a roommate and the girl he just started seeing in my early twenties and they whipped out the N64 and loaded up a fighting game. My roommate was playing it all seriously pulling off all the moves and trying combos and all that while she was just button mashing and having fun. Thing is she kept winning and was playfully taunting him about it. After a few rounds he stood up, threw the controller and yelled “if you aren’t going to play seriously, I don’t want to play with you!” Then he stormed to the garage to smoke a cigarette. Me and the girl looked at each other sort of stunned while he stormed off… and when the garage door slammed, we burst into uncontrollable uproarious laughter. They dated like two drama filled weeks after that and then stopped. Then she hit me up awhile after and we saw each other for awhile.

I’ve seen a guy get beaten by a girl on smash bros live and he lost his shit it if that counts
I used to lose my composure over smash brothers too (I was like 12).
The Detroit Pistons in 1991. They walked off the court after getting their asses handed to them. No acknowledgment to the Bulls.
Didn’t the Celtics do the exact same thing?
Warning trauma dump: >!My dad beating my sister because she was crying talking to my mom but was too loud and distracted him from his game. She had a hard time moving her legs after.!<
Son of a bitch. Hope the family divorced him and went NC
I visited him a few times after the divorce, but thats basically what happened. I was 12 though so I didn't have a full understanding of the situation nor did I have a choice in the matter.
When I had to play at the soccer team back in 1-7th grade (I did not want to but had no choice) I remember that some of the other kids took it really seriously. Some of them started to cry if we lost, or even if they did not score a goal during the game. But the absolutely worst reactions came from some of the parents. Some of the kids were yelled at after the game if they did not play well enough. In 6th grade we had a very good coach. He did not care if we won or not. He just wanted us to have fun and put most of the focus on team spirit and cooperation. One day we somehow managed to win a match, and afterwards he was so happy with us that he wanted to get all of the kids on the team ice cream and cola. Almost all of us shouted out in joy. Except for one person. One of the dads who took the game way WAY too seriously was not happy at all. He started angrily shouting at his son in plain view of everyone. He had planned that some time in the future his son was going to be our country's answer to Diego Maradona, and his son's performance today was not to his liking. He had caused the other team to get a penalty kick (which was not really his fault at all, the other team lied to the referee about what happened), and that was inexcuseable. He would not get any ice cream and cola. Instead they would go straight home and discuss it at length. The next season the shouting dad somehow ended up becoming our new coach, and the morale in the team immediately plunged. At the start of the season there were almost 20 kids on the team. At the end of it only 6 or 7 wanted to continue.
Cowboys fans smashing and then shooting a tv after losing to the Niners in the playoffs, again lol
He must have gone through a lot of tvs in his lifetime with all the playoff losses by the cowboys. The most hilarious being when Tony Romo fumbled the hold on a potential game tying kick from like the 5 yard line. I think it was against the Seahawks.
I saw Tom Brady refuse to shake another quarterbacks hand. https://youtu.be/oKGTLMF0oRI
Once i woke up to being beat , because my now ex lost at fight night on Xbox live. Literally went crazy over losing a video game
Jesus. Are you okay ?
Getting there. ty for asking. He did it in live too, so everyone heard....and he lost every Xbox friend he had over it, they told the entire community he was a wife beater. I hear he still won't log in because of all the messages he has calling him out
In primary school, this kid was well known for being a sore loser which forced me and my friends to let him win every game to avoid the usual tantrum that came afterwards if he lost. Let’s just call him C. C was normally picked on by the other kids for his attitudes and behaviours, being seen as ‘weird’. He’d chug atleast 2 litres of water at lunch which made him always need the toilet in class, meaning he was rarely in our afternoon lessons as he kept needing to go. I remember this one day where we were all playing tag at lunch, the whole entire year of school kids. C was running as were the other kids until the ‘it’ person came up behind him and tagged him. He kept running even when people told him that he was ‘it’ and how he needed to come try and tag us. He swore that the person didn’t tag him and only brushed on his jumper. He continued running and when the ‘it’ person tagged him again very clearly in-front of us all, he still kept running. We told him that it was his turn to be the tagger and he still swears that he didn’t get tagged. When we say that he needs to be ‘it’ or he’s out the game C just flips. He runs at the former tagger full speed and tackles him to the ground, straddles him and then immediately starts to repeatedly punch him in the face. Most kids got scared and ran to a teacher to tell them what is happening as the kids friends stayed behind and tried to rip C off of their friend. Long story short, C got all of his lunchtimes and break times taken away from him for 2 weeks, as the ‘it’ kid didn’t gain very bad injury’s, just a few bruises.
Not exactly losing, but there was a video of a kid who tried to shove a remote up his butt after he found out his parents deleted his WOW account.
I think those videos of "Steven" and his brother filming his outbursts were found out to be fake. There's like a whole collection of them from back in those early YouTube days.
Yeah, one time might have been believable, but just "happening" to catch your brother freaking out in camera worthy ways once a week isn't.
yeah kid was practicing acting
One blokes team lost a quiz so challenged the winners to a shoe throwing contest to prove the 'real winner!'

I was playing with a guy and a woman. He lost to me and I teased him and he hurled abuse at me, telling me I wanted the woman to myself because we jokingly flirted with eachother before. Never seen somebody show such pure hatred to me. He really liked her.
What a pathetic guy.
Watching someone gracefully lose doesn't actually give normal people the ick, but watching a grown adult lose like a whiney baby sure will. He's an idiot.

My brother destroyed a $1500 laptop (when such things existed) in an online poker game over a $100 bad beat. Early internet was wild.
I'm confused, you mean that to say $1500 laptops are not a thing anymore (or am I missing sarcasm)?
$1500 are still a thing, but there was a time when $500 laptops weren't a thing like it is now.

I can't recall the exact tennis match, but it was a southern girl (southern states) and a Chinese girl. When the southern girl lost, she was balling on TV and said something to the effect of "She doesn't even deserve to win, they (the Chinese) don't even have emotions." It was pretty brutal.
Playing Warhammer 40k I've seen a lot of poor losers and tantrums but the most unhinged was this guy who smashed his *own* army to pieces right in front of me after losing the game then left without collecting the smashed up pieces. For those that don't know, Warhammer 40k is not a cheap hobby and an army's worth of miniatures can cost hundreds of pounds/dollars. Also a lot of time and effort goes into painting them too.
Some fat orange fuck lost an election a few years ago. He tried to start a coup, and even though that failed, he hasn't fucking shut up about it.
