That Irritating Guy
I eat sloppy joes while loudly criticizing everyone's suboptimal moves - firing chunks of meat in their faces - and I hit on my friends' girlfriends, in front of my wife, whom I make change the vomit bucket I keep beside my seat. Plus I cry when someone steals the role I was about to take.
Seriously, I try to be a good sport when playing a game I dislike - usually some SJG Munchkin-style humor crap - but my misery is obvious.
Neon, I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I think I read about you on the RPG.net creepiest gamer threads. Anyone remember those?
Mine are probably
1. Bitching about people taking too long on their turn. Sometimes this is deserved but often I'm just being an ass to people that are trying to think.
2. Complaining about games mid-play... some games you know suck about halfway through and this is when I start ripping on the game, the designers, the publishers, and anyone who happens to be enjoying themselves. Heads of State was a good example. Any game which has a phase devoted to assassinations and STILL isn't any fun can rot in hell!
3. Interrupting people during how to play instructions. I'm really bad about this and I'm trying to stop.

2. I teach the rules (typically) and occasionally "remember" rules I "accidentally left out" at strategic moments. I also sometimes teach new games with house rules and/or optional rules as if they were the standard way to play.
3. I stock the mini-fridge with mini-sake bottles and mini-pink champagne bottles.

1. Being a loud, straight-forward Kiwi in quiet old England.
2. Inadvertant Cheater (and I provide a lot of the games!) - mainly from not paying enough attention and getting too wrapped up in an apparent good move (because I wasn't following the rules).
3. Deck adjuster - all those skill decks in BSG drive me mad.
4. Will walk away from (and go home if nothing else is on) most eurogames 'cos I just can't stand them anymore.
5. Try to be helpful to newcomers and end up giving them too much advice/moves.
.... I can see my name being quietly struck off lists all over the world now.

I don't think that I've ever been a "deck adjuster" but those skill decks in BSG were driving me mad last night. One player was doing his own discard pile, discarding all of his cards into one messy pile. Another player, the one sitting nearest the skill decks, kept flipping over the real discard piles (because his OCD told him to?), forcing other players guess which pile to draw from. We didn't even notice that one player's own discard pile until we suddenly ran out of yellow cards.

If this doesn't happen, I am incredibly figity (knitting at the table helps) and have been known to wander off to play with pets, fuss with music, make a cup of tea - to the chorus 'THAADD! GET BACK HERE -YOUR TURN'. It gets worse if I am tired too, I have a good 30 second attention span.
Player elimination is a blessing at times - for me, and everyone else.

But I'm sure it's my analysis-paralysis that really gets on people's nerves the most.

But far worse is this habit I developped in high school: I can tflip a pen/pencil in my right hand over, and over, and over again without looking at it or even be aware that I'm doing it.
if any writing instrument is within my grasp, I'll subconciously reach for it and start flipping it. It relaxes me, but drives everyone else around me batshit insane within half an hour.
My wife has promised to shove the next thing she catches me flipping staright up my arse.
I need help.
