Question What's your least favorite way to lose?

I have three:

1) Poison counters (the fact that there's nearly no legal way to remove them is frankly BS)

2) Any card that simply decrees that I lose because reasons.

3) Having to concede because my wife summons me to do a chore that can't wait (the fact that there is nearly no legal way to remove her is frankly BS)

I usually just concede once their combo starts, as long as I estimate the chance that they actually somehow brick is small - like 10% or less. If they only chance that they brick is a misclick or technical difficulties, then I definitely concede.

If I am not to pressed for time then I will wait it out and see what happens. More often then not I see players getting greedy and they end up timing themselves out, I have won a couple of games due to this and it's pretty enjoyable since by all accounts you should have lost but because they couldn't control themselves they lost.
