i like to play pretty long games even on blitz sites, i play with 25 mins and i hate when people rush me and when they do i take a bathroom break or feed the dog and come back etc. lol

I don't make any excuses to any of my opponents when I lose, thanks.
Of course! Hehe 🙂 It wasn't directed at you but does include you.

I feel cheated when people do that. They play a great game and then do something dumb like that and lose and the win just isn't as sweet. I don't like it.

I don't think drunken people do it deliberately, it's just that you will talk and talk after 8 pints until you're blue in the face. as you know. 🙂 anything can come out of the mouth.

I get annoyed when I miss something obvious that I actually thought about, but somehow didn't understand fully the consequences. like my opponent's pawn breaks. with pieces everything is so obvious, but those little critters must have some kind of a cloaking device to stay off the radar...

When someone is completely lost, for example, with a lone king, and refuses to resign.

When chess players in OTB tournaments try to "act cool" by hitting their clock twice.

Nice try, but we'd only duck and advance a somnambulant platypus to d5.

When people beat you and then have the audacity to say "Why'd you resign?"

Im sure a gender confused tiger advancing to b3 would give the somnambulant platypus cause for thought and prompt many questions along the lines of "Who am I? Why am I here" 😛

I hate the fact that i have to sleep, i wish i could just play chess instead...

as for what i hate about chess, people you play brag about what they've done and who they've beaten...every game is different, just because you beat a player rated 2000 one day, doesnt mean you're going to beat someone rated 1800 the next...
