Sorry, don't get you. How do you mean wearing the same outfit?

above listed extract of what YOU told HIM and yet you are posting a complaint about people being rude to you ? - what's your favourite club, a 9-irony

and just for you RD here's your first Cross Word...
1 accross : diseased canine, with foam ( 9 ( including under_score ))

touché kohai, agree that rudeness and embarrasment are separate issues

Yes Wagrro, you must understand that I was upset by his outburst and so reacted this way else why would i (it was a spur of the moment response) and my exact words were "bugger off" (which is also rude in or out of context). Else why would i put it in this forum.

pleasures4life : is the question you're asking, about embarrassing moments ? or people being rude ?

True talk, rude and embarrassment are 2 difft things. If you read the intro well, you'll find i was embarrassed by his rudness, so the topic (clearly stated) is 'embarrassment' but if you choose to share a rude or embarrassing moment- feel free. and if you don't want to share or read - freedom is the rule in cyberspace. Enjoy friends

"Cross word"? Rabid_Dog? Goodness gracious. The only thing embarrassing is that this boring thread exists. Next time try to entertain, guys, instead of act "mopey" cause someone was RUDE to you once... "Oh no! How scary!"

YIKES.

.... babies.

I'm too busy entertaining opponents with my wonderful brand of chess to be a scintilating wit all/any of the time! I do try and take time to contribute to contributor's first articles, as a form of welcome. If I can be witty I will be. Otherwise I will be courteous. If I was rude (and to quote your words in post 20), I'd be failing, not winning in my objective.

Nice joke by Tunatin by the way. Rael, unfortunately your comments are not up to your usual standard

Embarrassing moment. I walked into the McDonalds men's room on a long stride. Two steps in and I'm looking at the backs of 7 young ladies dressed in yellow McDonald's uniforms, milling about the sinks and mirrors. I stop like I've hit a Plexiglas wall. They turn, burst out laughing. I do the math; ladies = ladies room. I can't get out of there fast enough. ABOUT-FACE. Giant step toward the door. Giant step out the door. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. That was embarrassing!

This is normal in chess so its okay to get furious. On the other hand if the other fellow thinks that the "sacrifice" will help his plan of winning the game he will go after it. Just be careful and not be overconfident next time

LOL!!!

I kept prodding my opponant in the eye with my finger until he shouted "would you please stop doing that", I immediately resigned in protest and won't play with him again.

Seriously guys, is the purpose of this thread to join together in moaning about "the bigger boys being mean"? Oh dear

Like in chess the thread has many variations and could be interpreted differently. It could also be that silentfilmstar13 felt embarrassed by acting furiously over a lost queen that he left en prise hoping his opponent won't see it. Unfortunately the opponent saw no danger to the queen being "sacrificed" so he captured right away.

Rude moment. My last game. I was closing in on my opponent. He moved into a forced mate in two. I didn't see it. I think he saw it after his move. So I tortured him for several more moves. Then he moved into a forced mate in 7 and he jumped on the sword in 3. It was rude of me to have not played precisely for the mate in two. It's like when my cat catches a mouse. He could kill it quickly; and the mouse knows it's done for. But no; he throws it in the air and catches it several times, then lets it run and catches it again. It's rather rude I think.

My oponent was a perfect gentleman though. Sent me a trophy and everything. And I him.

Both of the "views" he agreed with before were consistent. If I were to "test" our friend RELee1865 I'd have to be like:

Oooooh you poor guys, was someone rude you to you widdle bwabies? Awwww why dwon't you shware your swad experiences of aw da times dat someone has bween wude do you?

Farking noobs. Go cry to your mothers, and in the future, if yo're going to start a thread, try and ensure it's full of win, instead of fail, okay?

Again w/ the "glub, glub, glub?"

(My wife's wondering why I'm laughing and snorting in front of the computer.)

I'm just glad all their McGoodies were well wrapped, too. It was bad enough with all the laughing yellow dresses. Screaming would have been unbearable.

Sorry, don't get you. How do you mean wearing the same outfit?

My apologies. I was merely juxtaposing a lightly humorous social gaffe with a situation where it could not possibly occur. :|

You should be happy no one (another femme) saw you exit, that would have been even more embarrassing.

It's all about the communication and some possible humour...

Just stick with it if you can and enjoy.
