    No so much quitting, but I got booted because my cat killed my whole team.

    It was back when I was playing Call of Duty, and it was in hardcore mode where it allowed friendly fire, but within limits. If you accidentally shot a team-mate you’d usually be okay (although they’d have some choice words for you on the team chat), but if you went around massacring your team-mates you’d get auto-booted. Anyway, we were in a situation where the whole team was hiding behind a wall, getting ready to take on someone who was hiding and being particularly troublesome. I was about to throw a grenade at them so my finger was hovering over the button, and my cat happened to walk past and rub himself on my hand because he wanted pets. He head-butted my finger, which made me throw a grenade right at my own feet, followed by an explosion and the game ending, at least for me.

    I didn’t get a chance to explain myself, so I wonder what everyone else thought I was up to lol.

    Last year when cyclone Chido hit, I was playing Fortnite with my friend. Suddenly the ping went through the roof and an instant later the power was gone. We watched the lagoon swell for another hour before the wind really hit. Just now realizing I haven’t fired up Fortnite ever since

    Came in thinking this thread would be full of laughs like the guy who almost shit himself. Thread ended up being much sadder.

    I was also going to say it was poop related

    I was playing EverQuest and that game was relentless. You never got a break from it.

    Anyway I had to quit in the middle of a dungeon crawl as my Son’s best friend’s dad was killed in a Motor-cycle wreck.

    Not actually me, but in the middle of a raid when one of two brothers in the raid force suddenly typed “Got to go, yacht sinking” and they both logged out. (Not a terrible reason though)

      I feel that :D

      I actually turned my multi socket around to only be able to accidentally turn it on instead of off.

    I always quit midgame, because in windows, whenever my laptop over heats, windows fails to smoothly throttle and the game starts running on less than 1 fps.
    even the windows UI runs slow.

    To fix the issue, I reset windows for the third time now, hopefully it fixes it self.

    EDIT: This issue isnt software issue, because linux doesnt suffer from this
