well there i was playing halo 3 last night and some 5yr old from texas or somewhere starts giving me cheek. now this kid would not a take a hint he just kept on busting chops all night. so i resorted to the old your adopted and no likes you line to send this kid off into another lobby. this kind of thing really grinds my gears. i was just wondering if anyone else has any pet peeves like this and what they do about it.

I certainly don't stoop to his level.

Just put the kid on mute and report him so the chance of playing against him again is severely decreased.

I can honestly say I've never done that. It's much more satisfying to imagine the fat kid on the other end yelling at people who can't hear him.

"You are all a bunch of ******s. Guys? I-I called you a bunch of... a bunch of ******s... Guys?"

If someone is being annoying I will try to make them insult me, either racially or with a swear word. Then I report them :).

Unfortunately, I've found the bad review system to be ineffectual when deciding my opponents.

People who are more interested in their own kill stats than helping the team achieve the objective. BF1943 was full of these types. Grr.

Also, lag.

13-year-old girls should not wear bikinis while playing Uno with their XBL camera turned on.

Nope, unless they have it set to friends only.

ive heard some pretty disturbing stories from people who play uno alot. It seems some xbox live users like to do all manner of things in front or their camera for the world to see...

Annoying people is why I rarely use my mic.

And it's kind of a waste of time using the XBL player review system since it's fundamentally flawed. If you submit a lot of negative player reviews (not sure how many), the system thinks that you are abusing it and then your reviews stop counting. The real kicker is that it never tells you. It will keep popping up with "DrTampon is now an avoided player" but they won't actually be avoided.

So if you encounter a lot of douchbags online, you're pretty much screwed.
