ok so this is from a leader in a TS pug
Leader: oh s***, i think my girlfriends having my baby
someone in party(after leader left): BEST EXCUSE EVER.
[q]Not Argo but I loved this one:
In the Orchard TAP farming and on my caster, the rest of the party is DPS save the Star who is a cleric. I am watching the fighters get stomped and not getting healed. I ask one of the fighters point blank: "Is this guy healing anyone?" and get no response. 5 seconds later the cleric responds with "It's a PUG, I am farming TAPS and if you want healing, buy a pot because I am not wasting mana to heal anyone" At which point I stopped casting walls of fire, haste, and greater heroism. The cleric dies 4 times during the first run (I guess he was not healing himself either) and then when the party reformed he refused to take my request because I was "Not a team player"[/q]
OMG that is too funny!!
Okay, so waiting to run WW on elite... right now actually and this is what I just heard
Person 1. How long are we going to wait for a rogue?
Person 2. Not long. We'll get going soon. It would be nice but we will be fine without.
Person 3. Uh, obviously you people do not have any toon past lvl 4 because if you did then you would know that every group NEEDS a rogue in this game. (so not kidding).
Person 4. Yeah, a rogue is would be nice but its okay.. I'm a human fighter and they are really great for WW because they are so versatile and stuff. Yeah, I spot every trap but I can't disable because I'm a fighter but I'm versatile and stuff... so we should be really good for WW.
Christ in heaven am I f'ing miserable right now.
Here's one I remember:
Long time ago, a few of us set to do deleras on our lowbies. We get our house P buffs, and step into deleras part 1, and a few seconds later a pugger (Player X) hops in. Someone mentioned something about house P buffs as we head off, skipping the bridge b/c we have the jump buff from house P.
When someone mentioned house P buffs, the pugger, in a proud voice, said "I'll show you how to run this without house P buffs." A couple seconds later *ding, Player X has died. He died at the first skeletons trying to hit the lever to get the bridge, as he didn't have jump from house P to simply skip it. And then a few seconds later, Player X has left your party.

When leveling my exploiter build TR, around 10th level I believe, I tried to join a group that was looking for a bunch of classes, including ranger, rogue and monk.
The group leader declined me and I sent him a /tell saying "If you don't want a ranger, monk or rogue, you should remove them from your LFM so the wrong people don't try to join."
His response "I want those classes, just not someone trying to be all three at the same time."

A few weeks ago on cannith i joined a PUG to do gwylan's stand.. I was on my lvl 5 ranger / 2 fighter.. I joined the PUG, then went afk bio while party was filling, when i came back i was dropped from the group and in party chat it read - sry drac dropping you as you were the lowest lvl..
I then send a tell:
Me: why did you kick me?
Cleric leader: You were the lowest lvl.
Me: Im lvl 7 as you are..
Cleric: yes but you are not pure, now i have lvl 7 monk, lvl 7 wizard, lvl 7 palla, lvl 7 rogue..
Me: Oki but just cause im multiclassed dosent mean i suck, i might be as good as the other pure ones.
Cleric took me back, and boy was i right.. group died 53 times, i died 3 times, monk had 65 HP, paladin killed one, then left.. And i was there till the end.. DOH!
I'm puging elite WW on my lowbie bard/rogue. I have a bad feeling about the Wizard in their right away when he starts complaining about his spell point pool. He had some choice quotes but I think my favourites were:
Wiz: bards and rogues can do traps.
Me: lol no a bard can only do traps if it has a rogue splash like me.
Wiz: Yes they can, it's just a cross class skill.
But the best was when the pally looted some lame low level spell penetration scepter or something:
Wiz: Nice scepter!
Wiz: Can I have that scepter J---?
Wiz: I WANT THAT SCEPTER
Wiz: I WANT THAT SCEPTER
Wiz: I WANT THAT SCEPTER
Me: And I want you to shut up.

So I am still leveling Brassmonkky, that funk monky. I joined a group for A New Invasion. I'm the second one to join the group. Zone from meridia to the twelve, get up and grab a drink, answer the phone. back in like, three minutes. group has five people now, not bad.
We fill and head into the quest, and clear a large part of the first floor looking for the drop down and hunting for chests. Not having too hard a time. I find my way back to the big statue at the beginning and say into voice: "Afk a couple minutes, if anyone finds a Shintao cord, pass that **** here"
Group leader immediately in party chat:
Leader: Brass.
Leader: ***
Obviously I am intrigued.
I ask him what the problem is.
Leader: Dude i accepted you and you went afk, and now you afking in quest. ********.
I proceed to inform him in slightly graphic terms that I was going to go take a dukem and my computer chair just doesn't seem the proper place.
Leader: You can't play the game from the toilet, noob.
Then I was simply done and told him to recall and reform if he had a problem. That ended the exchange pretty well, because I went to take a **** and rejoined the rest of the party without the leader afterwards.

Level 18 pugger joins the group without even saying "Hello!" asks:
- How can I get to the quest?

I like to bash newbies as much as any veteran. However, in this thread I've seen many when someone's been labeled as a newb just for not conforming with the very rigid expectations. In the above case, however, it might well have been a kid or a very immature person -- which btw this game had plenty of much before EU was released. And unless you are a very patient person, it sucks grouping with them. They make silly mistakes, they are loud, they can be disruptive, etc.
Asking for a piece of equipment repeatedly does not make anyone a n00b, IMO. Annoying, sure. But nothing n00b about it.
