What is the weirdest thing to happen to you when playing a rated tournament?

In a USCF tournament, my opponent would come over to my side of the board and play his move from there after five minutes. He did that at least 15 times throughout the game.
@Ragnar25 You should have told the referee or the tournament director. Its irritating what he did. First of all he would get a warning if you reported this behaviour. If he continues, they will take away some of his time or even disqualify him and declare you as winner
the kid i was playing slammed his pieces down so hard the flimsy table we were playing on shook. i didn't no how to take this, it was so outrageous. the jerk lost, but i felt kind of bad for him. what a weirdo. he slammed his piece down for every single move.
Two guys got in a fistfight on an adjacent board (and the loser landed right next to where I was sitting).
my opponent once cried, he was a little boy probably 10 years old
i felt bad, but it's a part of the game
I once had an opponent fall asleep on me (snoring away and everything).

Fortunately, I won. :)
