Let's see, online gaming is where it happens the most.

Here's a few things I've had to deal with in no particular order:

  • The postman arrives
  • The phone rings and it's an important call
  • I need to pee and can't back out of a match
  • The onset of sudden diarrhea
  • Cats fighting
  • Cat taking a dump and the smell is GODAWFUL
  • Relative arrives to say hello
  • Relative feels free to randomly walk in front of the tv screen
  • The phone rings and the internet craps out
  • My feet get too cold
  • My feet get too hot
  • The charging cord gets caught on some part of my body or couch - so annoying
  • Something in the oven starts burning
  • Battery runs out on the controller
  • Random leg cramp
  • Cat meowing incessantly

  • The missus being emotional and having to spend the whole night appologising because you didn't just turn off the console the moment she showed up.

Nothing more serious than badly needing to pee or take a dump.  Last time we played MK8 online together I had to pee on two occasions.  Thankfully if you don't choose a course quickly and let the time run out it just about gives you enough time to run to the bog for a quick pee.

The absolute worst was playing Dark Souls and leaving your character at a spot with no danger of getting killed for just a few moments to go to the toilet and then return to find out you'd been invaded and mauled.

LOL yes the souls bathroom break is terrifying.

But the worstd worst thing are games with unpausable cutscenes and as soon as the most important cutscene starts knock on the door. Fuuuuu.

My wife has an amazing talent. If I'm playing an offline game she'll let me do my thing all day long. 5 seconds after I start an online game/mode though, "honey come here for a minute. It's important."

I got invaded just before it was dinnertime. I hid, and 30 minutes later when I came back the invader was still trying to find me. Happy

Oh God I hate that, you're playing some game with a story and a cutscene starts that you have to listen to and someone walks in and starts yammering nonsense at you while you're trying to concentrate.

She's obviously trolling you.

I think the worst for me has been the cat taking a shit next door and the stench just grows more and more powerful. So you have to pull your tshirt over your nose and mouth, sitting there trying to play a match and the stench is so bad you can feel your eyes start to water.

Also I have had random butt pain on two occasions now. I don't think the people you're playing against understand that it feels like you are sitting on ragged rocks.
