gamer's curse

The excessive urge to complete as much of a game as possible, in order to obtain achievements, trophies etc.

More often than not, the task involves completing a specific stage on a difficulty level that one normally struggles with, and due to the achievement, they push themselves to get it, often repeatedly failing at one point, and eventually getting beyond frustrated over it, becoming difficult to interact with during this moment of anger.
Jack: "Hey, what's up with John? I was going to ask him if he's going out today but he was obviously pissed off in the way he responded."

Joseph: "He's experiencing gamer's curse."

Jack: "Oh, please...how people get so worked up over games is beyond me."

Joseph: "Hey, if you'd spent over an hour trying to clear something that can be done in under 10 minutes, and you STILL hadn't done it, I'm pretty sure you'd be pissed off, too."

Qbert cursing

A chain of distorted swear words coming out of one's mouth when in extreme agony.
Based on a true event.

Me: Heard a noise, jumped out of bed and stubbed my little to toe with quite some force against the bottom part of the door. The pain was so intense I started Qbert cursing.

The Subway Curse

A dangerous curse. If you work at subway, eventually you will end up seeing subway everywhere. If you leave, it will stay with you for a short period of time. If you return, you will immediately see it the day of your return.
The subway curse is back! The moment I started back, my bike was stolen.

Sods curse

Sods curse stays with someone from when they were born to when they die. Its relation to sods law or (Murphy’s law) depicts to when fate is mocking you. However in sods curse, fate mocks you your whole life making your experience with living incredibly horrible and pathetic. An example is if someone is clumsy by nature to a severe degree as in falling over, misplacing and walking into things resulting in pain. In latence terms you have luck so bad that is doesn't even seem possible to be that unlucky.
My whole life nothing has gone right for me. “oh then you might have Sods curse”
