Losses due to weird circumstances

[TWill]

Since there hasn't been too many posts the last few days I thought I'd share a story about a recent loss.

I was playing a guy earlier today and I was losing. I still had plenty of room and options. I usually play QR during my lunch hour and I'll eat one of those microwavable soups during the game. Today's game got messy. I either had a twitch, turrets, or a moment of of being possesed by Steve Eurckle because I bumped the steak and noodle soup and it went everywhere. All over my mouse, the key board, the desk, and my pants. I tryed to make a few moves after that but it was pointless. I felt asking for a void would be poor sportsmanship...so I let my poor little pieces die. Healthy Choice Steak & Noodle Soup was not healthy toward QR today.

Anyone else ever have any weird losses due to circumstances outside of the game itself? If not, that's cool...just trying to generate some conversation on here.

Yea I had a fairly shitty loss not too long ago. My opponent was cornered and defeated but instead of resigning he decided to wait out the timer. As I got up from the couch I knocked the mouse over onto the floor and for nogoodfuckingreason it closed the browser window. So chalk up a win for the never-resign camp...asses.

i never realized that i have back and forward browser buttons below my space bar... last month I realized it the hard way

Yeah, I've got my 4th and 5th mouse buttons bound to forward and back, sitting mere centimeters from my thumb at any given minute. Once or twice I've accidently hit the back button in midst of QR combat.

I have proposed a cross-browser solution for that a long-long time ago but you know how Jimmi is implementing new ideas

I've lost due to getting tangled up in a chain while trying to take my dog-who-can't-stay-in-the-yard-so-he-has-to-be-in-a-chain inside, watching and struggling as mere feet away my pieces exploded.

...Gah.

Where the heck is everyone,lol. Part of my day consists of checking the board and reading the threads. It must be finals week or spring break or something.

I lost several battles because SWIMBO entered the room... my boss lives and works 500 km's away so that's no issue but when I'm officially working from home (which I do often as at work I can't connect ot any games... darned firewall) my SWIMBO is a real PITA.
