tactically retarded

People (gamers who play Online Mass Multiplayers, in particular) who seem to play without any coherent idea as to what they should do, and remain oblivious about the positions of their team, the enemy, or even complete functions and aspects of the game they're playing.
Their gameplay is so atrociously bad, that it gives the impression they suffer from Attention Decifit Disorder, or have never even heard of computer or video games until that very moment, despite having played the game a couple hundred times by then.
In most cases, they're completely detrimental to the team, dying early on without contributing much, or even hindering the game for others.
In the rare occasions they're actually helpful, it's more by accident than by willful act from their part (i.e. acting as cannon fodder, or spotting enemies and giving them something to concentrate on)
*match starts, players on friendly team split to try and cover all sides of the map.*
Joe: Follow me, guys!
*Joe rushes ahead, out into the open*
Mack: Joe, stop, they'll spot you!
*Joe gets shot, spots an enemy stops in the middle of the open field to engage it*
*Joe gets obliterated by multiple enemies*
Joe: Stupid team! Why didn't you help me?!
Mack: Because you're tactically retarded, Joe, that's why. Why did you rush ahead?!

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
