Sore Losers

takamichinoku

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!

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.

Eh, your brother sounds like he has mental issues beyond being a sore loser OP.

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.

He sounds like a complete fucking moron to be honest.

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.

keith16

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

Donegal struck me as very sore winners 2 years ago.

Neither, it's an eejit.

I should clarify, he was a lot of repressed anger ...the other brother does too, actually!


Don't think I do though... do I?

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

beano345

A friend of mine is the worst sore loser I know,its funny to watch him getting beat on the PlayStation his controllers are all taped together from when he loses it and smashes them,was only down with him last night and there was a controller embedded halfway in the plasterboard from him losing it!

Not yet, he's only 26 though and I'm sure he's emailing them videos of him doing skills running rings around a bunch a children, that's bound to get some notice eventually!

ToddyDoody

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.

Robsweezie

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

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

The old "broken controller" is another one. It's amazing the bad runs of luck sore losers get with broken controllers

zetecescort

Davy Fitzgerald. Good manager, plays a lovely style of hurling but all the conspiracy nonsense after they lost didnt reflect well on him

I'm sorry, but in the interest of his future humility and well-roundedness, I would have battered him quite badly the second time he did that. I believe that is what is missing from some peoples lives, a lack of sufficient kickings as a kid.

SouthTippBass

We used to play Mario Kart all the time years ago, and a friend of ours was always batter at it than us. He was never smug or arrogant about it though. One evening, whatever happened, we managed to best him. Not just best him, but hammer him. He came last in a 4-player race. We were all singing and cheering like this was the best day ever, and yer man with a big grumpy head on him reaches over and turns off the Gamecube! "This is f*ckin bullsh*t"

Que a chorus of ooooooohhhh and more laughing! Freakin hilarious, I still laugh about it today. Ah, I guess you had to be there

I've never understood why people get so worked up over football like that.This thing of following teams and talking about the bloody team like theyre on the board of management or something, "we're in with a chance this season" etc.Some younger lads at work talk about nothing else.Boring facts and figures about transfer fees etc.

Tell me this was Robbie Keane

Barely There

I have a 5 year old whom I like to play chess with.
I'll usually engage in a good bit of trash-talk in the lead up to and during the game - especially if he forgets what way the knight moves or something.

Then when I inevitably win I'll make up a victory dance and a song about how great I am at chess.

P. Breathnach

I am a good loser.

I put it down to lots of practice.

Play League of Legends, and be prepared to see how abysmal the "community" of it is. :pac:

I gather half the people on Xbox live do this the whole time on just about any game.

Speaking of WWE, I beat my older brother on one of them once where he climbed up the cell, fell off, then tried climbing up again, and immediately fell off again so I just pinned him and got the 3 about a minute into the game.
Beat the **** out of me after that, so he did.

shruikan2553

Any online game especially league of legends and "professional" call of duty players. In fact, they are dicks no matter of they are winning or losing.

Mal-Adjusted

Way back in primary school, a friend and I would play with the classrooms chess set. whenever i'd get close to winning, he'd just grab any piece of his and jump it around the board like crazy and walk away, claiming he'd won. The thing is, we were both crap at it, he'd legitimately win as often as i would.

I used to go out with a guy who was a bit like that. It was the most unattractive thing ever. Still makes my skin crawl when I think about his reactions to losing.
