- Your level editor crashes because it feels it's being abused.
- Sash (aka Aqua Stylish) actually gives it a low rating [grin, duck, run]
- People start to e-mail Mprager.de about how they can put in a negative number.
- The baddies decide to play cards instead of shooting Lara
- You invite your parents to see your jungle level, and all they do is say "That's amazing, I didn't know you could re-create our house so well!"
- You play your level only to find Lara commiting suicide every time you try to move her.
- People start harassing and teasing you about the length of your level, and the thickness of your walls.

Feel free to add your own to this thread...

-The characters start shooting at YOU.
-When you perfom the dozy cheat Lara waits until you're 30 clicks up then "mysteriously" presses the Shift button.
-The characters start shooting at you and it comes out of your computer screen.

. When you're half way accross a huge pit on a monkey swing (with deadly spikes at the bottom) and Lara shouts "I can't take this any more!" And does a nose dive into the unknown.
. When your 7 year old neice succesfully finds the missing puzzle piece that took you 6 weeks to hide in a room which you thought Indiana Jones would run screaming from, only to explain that she would have found it quicker had it not been for the little red things nipping at her toes, that ball thing that came from no where and that hole down there with those pointy things that she's sure she has seen in a recent episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (sigh)

When uh... uh... when... erm... when... your great great great grandmother who takes pills just to keep her brain from deteriorating can beat your level in a matter of 2 minutes.

I didn't know what caused it until I noticed my keys were sticking! heehee, I was like - 'Cool effect! - er, wait, no.' haha

- lara yells out, "it's behind the moveable block, damnit!!"
- lara looks at the screen and says, "don't you think you've tortured me enough?" and shoots.
- you forget to trigger anything.
- lara detaches herself from the camera and storms off.
- you find lara reading a book while playing, and when you finish the level, lara says, "oh! don't end it yet! i'm only on chapter one!!"
- lara actually attempts to uninstall the level editor from your computer.
- lara makes her own "finish" trigger.
