Mine was when the abusive 
girlfriend of one if my players made him quit the game because she decided he didn't want other things competing for his attention. This wouldn't be so bad except that his absence killed the group's chemistry and led to me ending the campaign.

Wanted to form a new gaming group at a local shop, and the shop owners ask me to advertise online because they don't have a physical sign up list. I ask for older players and get a ton of replies, enough for two large groups. You can sort these people into two categories: 30+ married men with good careers and families, and young neurodivergent girls. Now, I didn't turn anyone away since it felt mean to tell some (VERY) neurodivergent and physically handicapped 18yr old girl that she couldn't play, even though I asked for older people. This was a mistake.
Every session had drama. One girl in particular kept having tantrums and storming off. I was talking with one of the older guys about dieting and weight loss and she butted in to ask me to stop talking about my weight loss around her because it was triggering to anorexic people like her (she was mega
, easily 200+ pounds). They would talk to each other instead of paying attention to the game then complain that we were too quiet. It was miserable.
Both groups imploded quickly, then the guys and I started meeting in one dude's basement instead, no foids or kids allowed. It's been over a year and we still play every week.

Why go to all that effort when you can just write "I was molested"
