    Tell me about some sore losers you know and incidents involving them!


    I can't really think of any of my own right now asides from my brother, goes absolute nuts when he loses; I've seen him drop kick an Xbox around a room (he broke two of them!), break discs in half with his teeth, chew and swallow game covers, cut jerseys to shreds ...gets scarily involved into his football games and matches, proper mental stuff. I always forget he does it until I'm home some day his team loses, you'd never expect from him at any other time.



    ...sore winners would be good too! :D

    I'll admit I'm a sore loser. I get really really mad when I lose!

    A friend of my parents is a really lovely guy until he loses at cards or board games. The best example is when he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant in the mid 80s, went up to her conservative Catholic parents' house to have the whole "welp, I guess we're getting married, nice to meet you by the way" conversation, and ended up roaring at his future father in law over Monopoly a few hours later.

    Understandable. I've seen marriages break up over monopoly.

    I'm a sore winner. I love to rub it in people's faces when I win stuff and go on about how great I am.

    Every game of Monopoly either ends in apathy or a war though, the ****ing father in law led him into a trap.

    You're brother isn't a sore loser. He's a psychopath.

    Your, not you're

    Who among us hasn't flipped over the board in disguist when a five year old beats you at chess/draughts or snakes and ladders?

    It's a learning curve.

    I know a guy that repeated Maths in the Leaving Cert because he wasn't happy with his A2 (he had the points, easily, to do the college course he wanted). Got an A1 on the repeat. Not sure if that's a sore loser or a man of principle, lol.

    Barcelona are a team that are sore winners and very sore losers.

    Donegal struck me as very sore winners 2 years ago.

    No, I'm a good sport and pretty gracious in losing. I'd want to be seeing as I'm such a .. loser.

    Seriously though, if I lost something, or even just 'out out on something' down to someone cheating and so there was an element of an injustice about it, well then I would be pissed off about that for sure but otherwise, if it's a just a case of someone being better.. so be it.

    It's amazing how much that attitude drives people up the wall sometimes, it's like they want you to be a sore loser. "Hahaha I beat you!" "Aye, so you did" "You lost! I'm better at this game!" "That's true" ":("

    That's a sore winner


    There was one kid back in primary who used to always force the football match or whatever to have him win at the end of lunch "next goal wins" "...no, not that goal, the next goal!" who was insufferable but everyone seemed to think he was great cos the school was full of ***** and sure ***** love *****, I guess.
    Anyways, when he got up to sixth class, effectively becoming king of the schoolyard, he used to spend half of every lunch having a ****ing trophy presentation to himself.


    As an aside, he was still going on about how he's going to play for Liverpool when he was in sixth year :(

    My leaving cert physics book had grass stains on the pages due to the amount of times I threw it out the window in a blind rage. My dad loosing at the driving range is also quite funny. There's a regression to a child-like state of tantrums, anger and depression. A friend who'd loose at badminton just wouldn't talk to me for days after. When someone I like doesn't like me it usually takes little short of a death threat to get rid of me.

    used to play wwe on the playstation with a friend of mine. Every time I came close to winning and had him in a pin attempt that was headed for a 3 count he would threaten to quit the game
