What are some of the most infuriating things you've dealt with in fantasy?

I'm making this topic because I need to vent but would also like to read some of the things others have had to deal with or put up with in their years of playing.

In one money league where an eliminated team just traded Arian Foster for Jonas Grey. Another trade of Aaron Rodgers for Ryan Tannehill. I've already told the commissioner that if the trade goes through, I'm taking my money back and dropping out the league.

Anyway, feel free to share

Right there with you man. AD was my 1st rounder in my 100 dollar buy in league. On top of that, Rashad Jennings, Ryan Mathews missed a lot of time and Frank Gore has been garbage.

3 weeks before playoffs, commish starts a vote to expand playoffs to 8 teams(12 team league...). It passes because the only 2 people who vote against it are myself and the other league leader with a bye. I lose in the first round to one of the new additions. I would have won the entire league if I had my bye. Not in the league anymore and no longer "friends" with commish.

This smacks of cheating. This is my rule. All cheaters are immediately disqualified and banned from the league for life, and off my Christmas card list and no longer my friend or co-worker. Don't want to be associated with someone who would cheat at fantasy football. Vetoing the trade is not the right way to handle. Ask for explanation. If there is none, both teams forfeit and suffer penalties as stated above.

Cheating is tantamount to thievery. A thief cannot be trusted. Is that the type person you want to be associated with?

I really thought this was going to end with "...so I cut off their hands."

a commissioner who only allows trades he deems good instead of letting the league vote on trades, i.e. any trade involving his team is fair, everyone else trades are not so Commish Veto!

Drafting Jimmy Graham, Doug Martin, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Steven Jackson, and Stevan Ridley in that order.

Looked at my team after the draft and could not understand how it happened.

Aside from Jimmy Graham, all those players were risky, imo.

It was a situation where they all "dropped to me" by at least 5 spots and felt like I had to get them. Also, I picked Doug before Foster and Bell because I deemed them "too risky." I hate myself.

I'm the commissioner of a 12 man league, and only 5 of us are actually serious about fantasy and have been playing for a while. The rest of them, this is the only league they play in and only their second year playing.

One guy got eliminated from playoff contention and couldn't understand why I wouldn't let him trade off or release all of his players. He thought I was being unfair in not letting him do that.

barring 20+ points from Miami's Defense today, I will be the leading scorer in the league, but will finish 6-7 and out of the playoffs.

If I get just 14 points from Lamar Miller in PPR I get in playoffs as the third overall seed based on the overall points vs other teams with same record at 6-7. If less than 14, I come in last place based on W-L Record. Thats how close this is for the final four playoff spots. I'll be depressed if Lamar Miller lets me down and I feel there is a good chance it happens even though he is projected 20.8 points.

I have the second most points in my 100$ 12 team league and won't make the playoffs because I didn't get to play the two worst teams in the league.

It's not like he didn't get 8 hours per pick though.
