No so much quitting, but I got booted because my cat killed my whole team.
It was back when I was playing Call of Duty, and it was in hardcore mode where it allowed friendly fire, but within limits. If you accidentally shot a team-mate you'd usually be okay (although they'd have some choice words for you on the team chat), but if you went around massacring your team-mates you'd get auto-booted. Anyway, we were in a situation where the whole team was hiding behind a wall, getting ready to take on someone who was hiding and being particularly troublesome. I was about to throw a grenade at them so my finger was hovering over the button, and my cat happened to walk past and rub himself on my hand because he wanted pets. He head-butted my finger, which made me throw a grenade right at my own feet, followed by an explosion and the game ending, at least for me.
I didn't get a chance to explain myself, so I wonder what everyone else thought I was up to lol.
