I don't mind if someone is a noob and they ask at the start of a fight to check their moves and stuff and then try a couple out before we fight for real, but people that do it mid-fight are annoying as hell. My friend does it constantly while we play Winning 11 sometimes, I'll start an attack and he will "conveniently" pause the game so he can take a sip of his beer or whatever... I'm used to it though and it never works 
I also remember a guy back when we were kids who used to frequent the arcades and play a lot of SF2: Champion Edition, and he was VERY VERY good. The only thing was, for some strange reason he never did know how to deal with Vega, and he used to insist people didn't use him as I guess he didn't want to get embaressed or something stupid (this guy was also not the sort of person you would want to argue with...
). One day we went down there and this other guy I know decided to teach him a lesson my picking Dhalsim and destroying his Ryu with him completely (almost a double perfect). It was even worse for him because back then the only two characters that *no-one* picked were Dhalsim and Zangief, so I don't think he took it too well
I know those jokes above are bad, but that's the idea... the more annoyingly crap the joke is, the more it annoys the person you are playing with... as I found out when my friend trashed his PSOne. The bad thing is that that wasn't the only time he did something like that, he's probably broken about 7 or 8 PSOnes over the years (and back then Sony used to replace them under gaurantee cos they were stupid). I also remember him kicking his TV off the stand once when we were about 12 years old because I beat him in MK1 with Sub Zero and pulled out his fatality. That TV never did work properly ever again... 
My friend is definitely someone who takes his games *too* seriously
