Technically, there's not a such thing as a bad player: There's the Masters, the skilled players, the intermediate, and the unskilled players.
Signs you're a bad chess player
Sort:
After hearing that chess is the "game of kings", you decide that it is unjust to move any other piece than the king on each move.
After the game, your opponent says "Hey! At least you got those pawns, right?"
Your signature opening goes 1. e3 e5 2. e4
Your chess set consists of 1 king, 1 queen, 8 pawns, 2 bishops, 2 rooks, and 2 "horsies"
You free your rooks by moving your a and h pawns forward.
You offer your opponent a draw after he checkmated you.
Nice...
When you Chess Titans beats you even though it only has a King.
If all the opponents pawn had promoted..

He pushes them out of the way.

nn = No Name.
Strictly speaking NN = Nomen Nescio (Latin for 'I do not know the name'')

More like, 2 kings, 2 queens, 16 pawns, 4 "pointy-headed guys", 4 "horsies," and 4 "castles."

pointy-headed guys

Signs you are a bad chess player:
- Based on statistics, you are convinced at least one of your chess pieces is gay. You suspect the bishops. Now, with don't ask, don't tell revoked, you expect to find out...not that there's anything wrong with that.
- You deny there's any such thing as a "bad" chess player.
- You'd pray to God for help during a game but are afraid that would be seeking outside assistance.
- You've tried moving your chess pieces with just your mind.

You're probably a bad chess player if you hate the game yet play it "for fun".

Lol. My best victory on here was winning on time when my opponent inexplicably disappeared from the site for a while.
I really want to beat someone rated higher than 1996 so I have a different "best win" on my page :p
Unfortunately, my "next best win" was only in the 1700s.
Elo rating, that is, not the century. If I'd been playing chess since the 1700s, I'd be better by now.
You've been playing chess since the 1700's and you're still not able to beat someone over 1700.

- You can describe in advance exactly where you will screw up in a game, and still screw up there.
- You are a Michael Jackson (not sure if you're black or white, think it doesn't matter if you're black or white, and readily proclaim "I'm bad, I'm bad...")
- Your ingrained muscle memory allows you to draw a "?" more quickly than you can draw a "!".

You castle kingside with your king and rook.
You castle queenside with your queen and rook.
