What is the most frustrating thing that has happened to you in a game that gets you really angry and makes you feel like you could snap your controller/keyboard in half

For me it is
Any Hacker that thinks he/she's l33t.
Losing in a fighting game more than 4 times in a row.

Well to me it is.

1, Games that used to be good until a whole bunch of idiots get there, not just american idiots all of them honestly you shouldnt be a jerk just to fit in.

2, as a side not I stopped playing escpecially competitivley years ago, and when I meet somebody that says they are "pro" and I can kill them approx 5-3 halfassedly playing with them they just seem like they are so full of themselves.

3, spending 20 hours or more in a full day run of any rougelike and dying.

4, losing all of my pistol ammo.

5, developers that always spears two handed crappy weapons, in proper spear use your forward hand is for guiding only and you dont thrust your body forward giving a skilled opponent the ability to counter because your head is two feet closer.

5, Games that say they are going to be "balanced" for non class based and every few "levels" theres a better gun that wtfpwns the last one, this is not how any game should be, in an mmo imho as it can easily be broken.

6, a game where the ai is likley to kill or destroy what you are after when you lose if it dies. eg, capture this enemy, I captured him Why did the enemy just kil him?

As a note these things make me "feel" like snapping a keyboard, but the only things I have broken were
1, A gameboy color that I threw against the wall because of that gymleader with that damn rollout attack.
2, A microsoft sidewinder flightstick in some old game that I cant remember that let you choose your entire payload and craft in a modern jet. A link to what this game is would be sweet.

Also as a side note, pitfall was damn hard. And this reminded me how my mother stomped on two atari 2600's and one 3600's because she is near blind and kept bumping into them until she decided to stomp on them.

The last level of Psychonauts was the closest I've come to physically assaulting a T.V. in years.

When a game uses a checkpoint system and I die right before the next checkpoint. That and the Meat Circus. Why did Tim Schafer put that in his otherwise amazing game?

teamkillers on any online game that supports friendly fire. Especially Saints Row and Left 4 Dead.

All that I can think of recently is when I was trying a survival run on the Prince of Persia Classic remake. You have to get through the entire game on one life. I had got further than ever before, when the game bugged out and I couldn't continue.

Actually that was less infuriating then than when I stated "Yes, I can do this level, it's easy!", to which my friend replied "You're going to fall off a cliff." Naturally, within about five seconds of starting the level I had fallen down a pit onto some spikes.

Most frustrating thing for me?
In GTA IV the other day I was in the middle of a mission, and was flying down the highway that leads to the Broker Bridge. I tried to take the little off ramp there, but I hit the guardrail. So Niko goes hurtling through the windshield. But the car ricocheted at just the right angle when this happened to send him up, into the side of a building, and trapped behind a billboard...with no escape...

Same here, I nearly launched the controller through the nearest window.

When a Tank AND a Witch is spawned on the last level of any of the L4D campaigns. I really hate it when the whole team has been reduced to a state of near-death before the final fight even begins.

Also, the way in any fight game the enemies become increasingly difficult to hit because they constantly block everything. Let's just sat I suck at doing the same back.

Dom's AI in Gears 2 on insane mode.

I wanted to kill him off myself and leave him dead, so he would stop running out into a hail of bullets every 30 seconds. I died at least 30 times saving his stupid ass, most notably in the fight just before the Maria scene..

However the reavers attacking the sat comm on the last act was even more jaw droppingly broken and infuriating than him.
