Chexcuses

When players lose, they will often never appreciate your chess skills, forks, pins, maneuvers..etc
Instead, they will come up with a chess excuse (CHEXCUSE).
Now these can vary from many levels of craziness. I have come up with just a few that I have witnessed over the past year, ENJOY!

1. "You just got lucky!"
2. "I'm in bad form right now"
3. "My internet is bad right now"
4. "You only won cuz you have a better mouse than me" (usually bullet or faster)
5. "I was winning in X position but I just made a bad blunder in Y position"
6. "My hands are cold"
7. "It was a MOUSE SLIP"

These are just a few out of a million! Please feel free to share your unique 'CHEXCUSES' that you have heard or witnessed before!
O my Balochistan internet is terrible, plus you are playing like a savage
I've never heard (or used) this one, but this has happened to me before (and it's a very poor excuse):

11. I was playing on my phone and I didn't see X piece because my thumb was covering it.

(Move your thumb out of the way of the screen, dummy!)

Also, no. 5 always makes me chuckle. That's not really an excuse, it's just a description of almost all games between amateurs!
