Mostly I just facepalm wondering WTH! Well this one time very recent I did use the alternative form. I was very put out to say the least.

Pugs.... good for invective and creative language directed at the monitor.

And, 95% to hit means 20% chance to miss in CoX.
After 5+ years of play, the only thing that still gets me riled up is when I get too lazy to re-bind R off of Autorun on a new toon.
Me: (o I have a witty reply to THAT! Lemme just hit Enter and type...)
-Autorun
-Faceplant
Me out loud: O FERCRYINOUTLOUD RATZAFRASSIN lazy-a$$ buttmunch WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?!?
When an enemy is at a sliver of health, starts running away and I miss the last attack I queued...and the mob runs right into another group *knowing* I'll have to aggro them because I already missed with the vet ranged attack:
"You Little B****!!"
--I can't afford a new monitor, just up your damn resolution already! You don't love me!
Every time Shadow Maul/Sands of Mu misses:
"Oh you F****** B*****!!!"

Oh, I could write down what I scream at my monitor sometimes, but most of you would not understand since that would be in German.
Plus, I would be in a world of trouble if one of those few who would understand was actually a moderator. Copious amounts of swearing in a way that could be called "at the same time creative and deeply disturbing" would probably earn me a ban regardless of the fact that it was actually the Longbows' fault.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

For some reason, the game is adamant about giving me 96 and 97 to-hit rolls. Only not when I actually have proof of it. The moment I fired up HeroStats, I suddenly stopped missing altogether. Then when I turned it off, within a day I was back to seemingly intentionally missing my biggest attacks and forcing streakbreaker after streakbreaker.

Something I often yell at the monitor:
"How 'bout you target the guy RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!" (as Tab targets a mob on the other side of the room instead of the Syndicate Sword Master turning my character into a shish kebab)

I play with the sound off. However, that never stops anyone in the room from hearing what I'm doing since I have to make my own sound effects like a three year old.
"Bap!"
"Punt!" - For Power Thrust
"KA-BAM" - Total Focus
"Eyooooow-BOOSH!" - Explosive Blast
"FOOOM!" - Nova
"Tackitytackitytackitytackity..." - Shadow Maul, Flurry, Sands, etc... Interestingly, I also use that for certain attacks in another game: Razor Leaf and Magical Leaf.
When I rubberband -
"Where the hell am I?"
"Corners are HARD!"

I see some people suggesting macros and binds to solve this... Ctrl+tab is, by default, set up to target the nearest enemy; I use it all the time when this happens.

I've never really understood why people make binds for things that can easily be done in the game. All I do is go into the keymapping settings and change it so that tab = target nearest enemy, and the key above it to be next nearest. No binds, no remembering what key is bound to what, just... change it.|

Back to the topic. My husband says he fears for my sanity when he hears me cackling while I play. When I am on a defender and someone starts griping that I didn't heal/buff them, I yell "Out of range? Out of sight? Out of luck, a%%hole!"
"Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to let you in."

"WTF!! THis is impossible, how the hell is it hitting me from this far away!" - (first time fighting the Jade Spider)
"Hey, remember meeeee?!" - (any time when I have been defeated by a final boss/EB/AV, then come charging back with a full tray of inspirs running in my buff bar)
"DIEEEEEEDAMNYOUUUUU!!!" - (during the final moment of a Master Kahn TF run where Reichsman's final 100 HP seemed to last longer than all his other HP)
"I DISAGREE!" - (said very often, any time where I am held by something but have Domination ready to activate)
"Impossibleeee!" - (any time I get killed with 4 Lucks running)
