On the bright side, it keeps me from getting puffed up by my wins.

This raises an at least semi-interesting point...I've long thought that the "#" thingie on the scoresheet shouldn't show until you actually submit the mating move (it could after all be looked upon as giving you advice). And I suppose conceivably you could try every single move (or check) you have whenever it's your turn, looking for that elusive mate in 1...
Yep. And in correspondence you just have to check every line from the opening position until the # shows, and you'll win every game.
There’s a # on the scoresheet for mating moves? I hadn’t noticed. Wow. Well, if nothing else that may spare me the embarrassment of winning before I know it.
I've done things like calculate a 3 move mate, the game suddenly ends after the second move, I'm confused and then I realize the second move was mate. I don't think this is uncommon in blitz games.

I was once on a receiving end of this type of checkmate (there were other pieces but this was the basic set up), not realising it was mate and I could not run out via g7.
It’s worse when you have mate in 1, miss it, notice immediately after you make your move, and then your opponent checkmates you.
What if he didn’t know about pins?
If he didn’t know about pins he’d play Qe4
I am not very good at chess.
Half the time I don't even realize when I checkmate my opponent. I generally know I'm putting him in check, but chess.com has to tell me I've checkmated him or sometimes that possibility doesn't even occur to me. It's not that I couldn't tell you if a given position was checkmate if you quizzed me, it's just that I'm so focused on midgame goals (captures, improving my position, making his king vulnerable) that half the time I don't notice when that useful check is actually checkmate.
But also, I'm not very good at chess.
(My fast chess is terrible. My daily chess is merely lame. But hey, I just play for fun. That's why I'm posting in this forum.)
