85. Incessantly hitting on the host's wife (and not in character). True story.
Edited: Apologies to Jiggy (and anyone else that I should have included).
86. Being mean to the host's children. ("I was just kidding" means nothing when your five-year-old is inconsolable.)

87. Cluelessly throwing around profanity with 8 year olds at the table. It was in-character, but we tried to subtly warn this guy a few times.

It's been my experience that guys who cuss in front of 8 year-olds don't do subtle. It's best to just directly say, "language dude, 8 year-old."
From personal experience (and yes I was forever banned from playing a kender ever again) comes . . .
88. Playing as a kender with the kender voice, mannerisms and etc. Let's just say I went full-Wanderlust on the poor group.

What if your child just bit me? Look, if I'm not allowed to punt in self-defense Let it go, KC. Let it go.

When I was in high school, I helped out occasionally at my mom's daycare. A preschooler bit my behind, because he was a dinosaur. He was too little for it to hurt through my jeans, but I think I jumped about a foot.
When my son was three he bit my brother in law's then girlfriend on the butt. Hi-larity.

Wait... What is the exact relationship here?
If he was married to your sibling, and the then-girlfriend was not your sister (since then you would have just said your son bit your sister), it indicates your son was biting some person totally unrelated to you that happened to be dating your future in-law. Which might happen in a small enough town but would otherwise be a weird coincidence.

It's my wife's brother.

Sounds like Cal was friends with his brother-in-law before brother-in-law started dating Cal's sister.
EDIT: or what Cal explained as the actual reality xD
I considered that, but I would figure if that was the case he'd have said his friend rather than his brother-in-law, lol. I would consider brother-in-law less familiar. Is there a hierarchy of familiarity, lol?
But yeah, I hadn't considered his wife's brother, which also makes total sense, hahaha!
That's an improbable scenario, and it still doesn't give you the right to abuse animals.
Animal abuse of any sort is a guaranteed 1 way ticket through my window.

Defenestration is no joke, yo.

It is. And rarely does a chance come up to use it in proper context. However, I would not advocate for defenestrating a guest as that's just bad form. I agree that problematic animals should be placed somewhere that guests won't go.

I'll have you know my defenestration form is superb - last time I did it, the Romanian judge gave me a 9.9, and even the notoriously hardnosed French judge gave me a 7.0!

People getting involved with their sibling's friend is a bit uncommon but I wouldn't call it a coincidence.
For instance, my brother-in law (married to my oldest sister) was once both my college roommate and engaged to my sister-in-law (married to my oldest brother), while I am married to the woman who came to my college graduation with my younger brother (as friends, but thay had gone out once or twice before that.) Don't even get me started with my other sister....

94. Dude was banging his best friend, his girlfriend put it all together by his in game actions, and hit in the head with a cast iron skillet, cops were called, whole fiasco broke up the group.
95. Your name is Mark... :(

My sister-in-law (married to my older brother) is one day younger than I am. A woman I dated for a year is two days younger than my younger sister. Funny how some things work that way.

Yep good reason for kicking a GM.
I think it's the other way around. No one likes gaming with players with a player with poor hygiene. I get sometimes that coming from work it's unavoidable. After a point I'm willing to tell both a player and/or DM to wash up before coming to a session. Even if it means being late.

stuff like this makes me glad I have almost no sense of smell, unless you come directly from shoveling s&+$ I won't notice :-)

There are more tactful ways to do that thought.

Yeah. There was a young lady that went to college with my wife that had a problem with hygiene due to abuse and some mental issues. People being blunt about it publicly didn't help her much. They had a quiet intervention and bought her a bunch of bath things and generally helped her instead of just pointing and saying "you stink!"
I know, I know, it's the internet way to be blunt but sometimes being compassionate helps!

There's public humiliation blunt, and then there's private intervention blunt.Many people don't catch subtle cues and hints and require the use of plain direct English, but will value sincere efforts.
Sometimes they truly don't catch the subtle cues and hints. Sometimes they just plain ignore them. As it was the case with two players. I tend to be blunt but not a jerk. Sometimes though you need to say "I'm sorry but stink and no I'm not putting up with anymore". Not to mention people are adults. Since when do I have to talk to adults like I'm talking to a child.

Sure. but a DM that is that rude is not someone I wanna game with. If someone is stinky, you take them aside and tell them privately.

99: "Is this a 6 or a 9?" Every. Single. Session. At least once per session. The die even had the little dot that indicated which side was up.
100. Someone misunderstands a game fundamental, and refuses to be corrected. (He thought CHA replaced STR or DEX for attack rolls just because he was a sorcerer.)
I'm leaving #101 for the next person. Make it a good one!
