Turn 4: Baron, crossroads, copper, copper, copper. I really hate whiffing on Baron in general, but man, that one stung.

Opening 5/2 on a board with no $2's. Bonus hate for mediocre $5's, or Fishing Village.

In one less-than-serious game, I decided to open Smuggler... the player before me mis-clicked and bought a secret chamber with $4.

5/2 with Ambassador or Masquerade or Familiar on the board and no $2s.

Play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, play a Village, draw a Village, have 3$, buy a Village.

Why are there 11 copies of Village in this game? Did you accidentally include the randomizer?  ;)

But that's not even 11, that's 12.  He played 10, drew an 11th, then purchased a 12th.

Some of them could be Walled Village, or even Workers Village so you can buy TWO more villages.

If the only engine on the board is Procession->Conspirator, I will play it.

Some of them were Band of Misfits as Village.

Getting a great engine going only to realize you forgot to include a +buy. Then way overspending to get the +buy.

Examples from recent games: spending $10 for a Herbalist; $14 for a Salvager.

This only happens to me in games where I forgot to check and there's no +buy.

Never buy an Herbalist for less than $13.

There are a couple of horrible situations that make you want to quit. What is the top-3?

I guess I would put full pins at first spot, but I've never been in either end of them. My current top 3 is:

- Constant Ghost Ship.
- Torturer chains.
- Scrying Pool chains.

Any additions?
When you lose. I'd say that's pretty annoying.

Depends how you lose. I've had games I've lost that were still very enjoyable. I've also won games that made me feel guilty (e.g. pulling the only curser out of the Black Market on turn 3).

Had I ever been on the receiving end of that, I think "opponent pulls the only curser out of the Black Market on turn 3" would easily make the "most annoying" list. We've got the Black Market promo card, but haven't tried it yet--worried about that kind of swinginess potentially making games less fun.

Early game shuffle luck.

1.)  Impact of 5/2 or 4/3
2.)  Position of opening buys after first reshuffle.
     a) T5CS aka Turn 5 Chapel Syndrome being the worst offender
     b) Trashing in general
     c)  Potion cost cards
     d)  $4/$4 after double silver or equivalent opening

I haven't gone through this whole thread, but man, these two are just so annoying.  I get frustrated when they happen against me and then I feel guilty when they are in my favor.

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

Too bad there is no overpay card with +buy in Guilds.

Building a mostly identical Minion deck to your opponent, having 4 provinces to 0, then your opponent double-provinces in his turn AND his Outpost turn - and to top it off his Jester hit a Province of mine, causing me to lose by 1 point.

Never having your chapel connect with your estates until about T12

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.
