It happens to all of us. Someone, a non-gamer, possibly a friend or family member, says or does something so inaccurate, offensive, or just outright ignorant about a game or gaming in general that it takes every ounce of will power you have not to punch them in the face. You can try to explain to them otherwise, but under no circumstances will they ever listen. For example, calling every game in existence "Mario", talking about the "Nintendo 3D60", thinking every game in existence is still based around levels and points, and the ever popular "Violent games like this make people go on killing sprees in real life.".
So, for all you folks, what is the most infuriating thing a non-gamer has ever said or done?
I'll start: After watching me play Jak II: Renegade for a few minutes, my uncle helpfully informed my mother that it was one of those games where you "Steal cars and rape women.". Nitpick: My older brother persistently refers to the Nintendo DS as "The GameBoy DS" no matter how many times we correct him.
