27. Having a mate in 1 and touching the wrong piece, resulting in your opponent mating you right before you mate him/her.
28. Being so engrossed in the game that before you can mate, you lose on time.

Have you heard of the Chessbrah twitch YouTube channel? Features two GMs named Eric Hansen and Aman Hambledon. I am a subscriber to them, and on Sundays, they play all the subscribers who challenge them. I was completely winning against Aman up a queen for a knight at the end of a bullet game and made the one losing move that blundered a fork and lost the game... in front of over 1 thousand viewers. That game months ago was one reason I felt I needed a break and I'm just getting back into the game now with a better attitude
I've seen that channel and never seen more f-bombs from a grandmaster in my life (Eric Hansen). His reactions make his blunders a lot funnier.

I know.
29. When your eyes just can't not look at the time left and you start panicking and then bam. Checkmate.
30. When you pay attention to the game and not the time, and you lose due to time.
You drop the phone in the toilet, or you rage and throw the computer in the toilet

I never rage that hard

You'd still lose if you don't pay attention to the game

I know. So you need to be aware of both.
But I often get engrossed in the game and forget the time. Not really the other way around
