Just like real life, online gaming invites an incredibly diverse set of people, with hundreds of thousands of different individuals banding together for some cooperative or competitive gameplay. But also like real life, unfortunately, you can’t go five minutes without meeting someone you want to beat over the head with the nearest piece of furniture.

The online world of gaming is chock full of some of the most infuriating types of people you could ever meet. People who see the online aspect of the game as a reason to detach themselves from any semblance of common decency, acting in the most annoying way possible.

Chances are you’ve met at least one person who qualifies to be included here, and although we're all guilty of annoying others to no end, let's be totally honest - there are some online gamers that make the whole experience far worse than it needs to be.

No matter how many matches you play there is always one of these people. The person who waits until the last second to agree to a second match or to leave the lobby.

Especially when they decide not to play after all having wasted your time entirely. Or when the match requires a certain number of people to go ahead and they leave, meaning that there isn’t the right number of players, forcing you to back to a main screen.

And all because they needed the toilet. Funny, because most of the time they appear to be taking the p*ss, rather than having one.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
