Running around in open spaces looking for people to shoot in an online FPS
Hint: Running around creates obvious movement. It also creates a space behind your back, which you can't see into. So in other words, you're highly visible and incredibly vulnerable. You do the maths.
Above: Let Butch Cassidy and theSundance Kid be a lesson to you - everyone's waiting for you to run out into the open
Trying to drive racing games with the accelerator on full the whole time
There's only one racing game where this might work and that's Burnout. But even then you'll need to tap the brakes to get drifting. Slow down for corners and your car will go faster round the track. Odd, that.

Trying to play during a cut-scene
It's a story bit. No, just wait a minute. Watch it - it's like a film. Quick - you're playing again! Oh no, you died. Ah well.
Above: Probably best not to let a rookie play an MGS game
Trying to play during the demo
"Oh, I thought I was doing really well"
Above: And then the game just stopped after 30 seconds and went back to the title screen! I think it's broken
Moving the 360 while it's switched on
Because you needed another coaster for your coffee mug, right?
