Things that made your day

We all know that grinding can seem pretty endless, and you can get bored and feel stuck. But every now and then something happens that puts a smile on your face, and I thought we could share moments like that here.
Earlier today I was killing Earth Taoists/Magicians, trying to finish one of the Bad Charm quests. I've been grinding away for a while, and I only have about ten charms left, when all of a sudden a sword/shield nuker comes and starts killstealing like a maniac. Everything I attack, he nukes if I can't kill it fast enough. I assume it's a bot, because I haven't seen players act that stupid in a while. I hit him with Cold Wave Arrest, and he gets frostbite, I go pink. He doesn't respond or hit back, so I repeat it again, and again. Then he nukes me.
Oh shit, I think, he's not a bot. I start running away, and I manage to evade his attacks until he fires off a nuke that hits me when I'm back to white again, and he becomes an offender. I turn around, hit my zerk and start running towards him. He hits me with a nuke, but he's in his low 30's (I was lvl 29), and it doesn't do much more than 1000 damage, which in much less than half my HP.
I expect him to switch to sword-based attacks, knock me down and use those few seconds to get his nukes in on me...but he doesn't. Instead he tried to nuke me again and again. All I have to do is smile, open my inventory and use a HP pot every time a nuke hits me, and he can't kill me, even if he crits. I knock him down, stab him and hit him with a chain that freezes him AND crits, and he goes down. I try to res him but he teleports back to town.
A few minutes later he comes back and says something in a language I can't understand (why do they always assume you can speak their language? I don't run around speaking Swedish), and I tell him to speak English. He says "pwp", which I guess means "PvP", so I tell him to run along and play with someone else, because I already kicked his ass and didn't go below 50% HP.
He gets pissed off and tries to KS again, but I switch my attacks around so my knockdown happens in the time it takes him to start his nuke, so most of the time his attack is aborted and I get the kill anyway. He keeps on following me and I laugh a bit because he can't KS me, and I finish my quest and lvl to 30.
tl;dr - guy killsteals, I trick him into attacking me and kill him, he gets pissed off
