28. The DM making character choices for you, such as giving you a small selection of classes to level up in (when the one you already were is not among them).
30. Players who think playing Chaotic Evil means being a total **** to everyone else.

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
31. When your DM doesnt tell you specific 'table' rules before the session 1
DM, in the middle of the game: 'Oh, by the way, whats your equipment weight?' Player: 'Well... Its around 110, so just below my carrying capacity of 120' DM: 'Oh, I didnt say before, but we're using variant encumbrance.... And ammo tracking.... And AL character creation rules.' Player: -Looks at character thats unusable now-

11. The weak swordsman clings to his instrument. It is better you have a sword, but death must lie under your fingernails, if need be. Learn death with your elbows, death with your knees, and death with your thumbs and fingertips. It is said death with the tongue is useful, but I find words too soft an instrument to smash a man’s skull.
41. All of the shows that have dnd in them get it completely wrong, such as Will rolling to hit the demogorgon in stranger things season 1 when Mike should have made a dexterity save. And in big bang theory when Howard makes a joke at an ogre ("Hey ma, what's for dinner?) And then Sheldon rolls and says, "The ogre is amused by your joke and allows you to pass." See what I mean?

The thing with Will might have been cause of differences in mechanics between old school D&D 1e and 5e.
