94 - Pausing mid game
There are certain rules and etiquette that you should really follow when playing computer games with your friends. One of them is that you don’t just pause the game without so much as a quick heads up for your mate.

92 - Dipping your tie in food
Especially troublesome when you are eating soup or something with lots of sauce, there is an upside if you manage to save it before you transfer your food to your shirt as you can then at least go tie-less.
