"The most annoying gaming distraction"

I love a good long play of a game, uninterrupted and totally immersed. But don't you hate those annoying interruptions? Like really needing to go to the toilet, right when a cutscene starts. Or needing a drink, or being halfway through drinking something when a cutscene ends into an action scene and you automatically die because you were drinking.

Annoying stuff like that. Although the most annoying has to be when somebody walks in front of the screen and you die. Grrr. And when my dad tells me to unload the dishwasher while I'm playing and I have to stop. Grrr.

i hate it when you're playing a really important level, or one that's really frustratingly hard, and you've got further than you ever did before, and then
friend: "ha ha, this is so funny, read this"
me: "wait, i can't"
friend: "ha ha, it's really funny, read it"
me: "wait"
friend "ok i'll read it to you" (commences reading aloud)
me: "shut up"
friend "no it's really funny, just listen"
me: "i've already read this crap! it's my damn magazine! you don't need to read it to me! i know what it is! i've read it about three times! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! you made me die! you're such an idiot!

that is what hapens every time.
EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, that's exactly what happened to me in MGS2!

The one before you face Solidus!

And when your in a cut scene and your the only one in the house and the phone rings!

I know! hard to belive isn't it, but some games actually have a story that progresses through the game. Metal Gear Solid 2 is a perfect example.

Hoovering.

Games have plots?

I like playing single player games alone, or failing that playing games in a room with someone who isn't constantly talking. I have to turn the volume right up just to hear whats happening with the story, and I hate it when I miss vital plot developments. Its annoying.

I hate it when I press the wrong button at an important part in a game.

I don't know if that's a distraction or me just being dumb, but I hate it all the same.
