Annoying Behaviour

In light of way too many recent annoying games, I'd like to see what behivour everyone has come across, and share some of my own.
My first pet peeve is when opponents don't pay attention to the game. Where they are obviously surfing the 'net or chatting in the room. Another is when they play with their cards at the very bottom of the screen and then act surprised that you can't see them. Third is general sh1t talking and rudeness, which I've never been a fan of. And last is ignorance. For example: Me: 123.45.678 for t2 w/dis.
You: What's your ip? or same thing, but when they call its either: sealed right? or league right? or how do i do this? or brb.... Sorry to bitch, but when have humans lost their clue?

Keeping in mind that I only use MWS ...

-Rearranging lands in the in-play zone apart from the grid, though I have no problem with arranging lands by color (they snap to a grid for a reason)

-Moving a creature forward when you attack/block (it puts the border around the card for a reason)

-Not using the phase buttons (they are centrally located and actually modify gameplay for a reason)

-And most especially, not doing what you want/are supposed to do but expecting me to know anyway.

This last one may require explanation. The most recent example is not one of the worst offenders, but it fits.

My opponent had Capsize. He taps Island, Island, Power Plant, Tower, Mine, Island, Island, Island then plays Capsize targeting my creature. I kill my creature in response and tell him he burns. He says "of course I wouldn't have tapped my mana" and untaps his lands in a different order (because if he just undid one Capsize's worth of mana, he would still burn for 1 off the Tower).

I did something similar to this in my very first League game but in my case my opponent was rushing me (even going so far as making some assinine "Slow" token and constantly (un)tapping it throughout the game; the Judge ruled against him and penalized my opponent for poor sportsmanship).

Oh yeah,

-Shuffling more than twice (MWS randomizes the cards in one shuffle for a reason)

I wrote the article on random, Kfcman. You do not need true randomness to be statistically random.

The worst is when you block their creature that is equipped with a jitte with your tribe-elder and put damage on the stack and sac the elder to get a land and they put counters on the jitte...
Then you tell them they get no counters and they say "But you put damage on the stack..."
Then I have to go on a five-minute long explanation of why they are wrong and they end up not believing me anyways...

Basically, when people don't know the rules.

yeah, I don't even try anymore for example jsut today

him: cast thoughtcorrier
me: draw, put down land, say go
him: activate thoughtcorrier
me: You can't it doesn't have haste
him: no SS goes away at the end of my turn
me: No it goes away at the beggining of your next turn
him: no, go check the rules

At this point I actually wanted to test the deck so I just joined another game. Also idiots annoy me such as you winning them disconnecting then naming thier game YourUsername is a noob!!!!!

Then there are funny idiots jsut a minute ago this happened

Den18 taps Mikokoro, Center of the Sea
Den18 taps Battlefield Forge
Den18 taps Mountain
Den18 plays Char from Hand
<GordonFrohman> yup. going to watch scrubs till you scoop.
<GordonFrohman> nah, I'm in a good mood
<Den18> ?

A guy beat me with a garbage owl deck, he had one life left...

He said "Oh this was too easy!" And left, next turn he was dead, and he started bashing me...

I'm sick of these idiots who win a fluke game, and think they are important.
