There are all sorts of bad breaks when it comes to pinball...but there's nothing I hate more than an up-and-over on the outlane. It's the absolute worst!

Shit happens. It's only pinball... 
Quoted from ovfdfireman:I can’t play pinball with people that get pissed off when they play. It ruins the fun.
That's why I said irritates. I don't get angry, but I may let loose a four letter word!

So if someone picks a game up three feet and slams it down. Kicks the bottom of the machine hard. Knees the door in. You might not be able to play on ?

One shot left to make a .......
My shots: brick, brick, brick, wrong target, brick, drain.
Noooooooo!!!
I heard there was nothing worse than a tote bag sitting on a pin or boogers on your flipper buttons! They can absolutely ruin an imamaculate pin
Someone explaining the rules of a pin I’m playing for the first time. Half of the fun of pinball is exploring and discovering the wonders the designer built into the game.

Nope, even if they owned the game, the childish display would send me elsewhere.

Unless it is sex, it can wait,
Be up in a minute I need some “me time” 
Playing the best ball of your life only to realize you drained the first 2 in 20 seconds. The “what if” game.

Usually for me, it's an amazing first ball followed by two immediate drains.
Quoted from TheRookie:A magnet flinging the ball SDTM.

..Third ball in the shooter lane on a great game, quick visit to restroom, and hearing the sound of my little daughter plunging it...

Doesn’t happen on well designed games. Dump GB, problem solved. 
In the middle of a good to phenomenal ball
and someone says
"Dude, you're jammin!
A fast drain is sure to follow.
Irritating to no end.
Trying to re-assemble something and losing a screw below a ramp and two layers of plastics, then proceeding to lift the playfield to try and work it loose and make it fall in the to the cabinet so I can struggle to spot and reach it and try the whole process over again.

Even more irritating is when they proceed to tell you what to shoot for when you’re already playing well

Making an amazing save that has a drain immediately afterwards. It’s like the save didn’t even happen. Haha

It actually happens on my GotG and MMr. Most often, it's when drop catching and the spin of the ball takes it up and over.
