Correction: nothing makes a gamer more ANNOYED than when the game auto saves just before you die is a good time, because the game AUTOMATICALLY OPENS THE LAST MOST RECENT SAVE, and you have to scramble multiple times to open the menu every time you are reloaded, just seconds before you die, in order to load a save that will not make you rage quit.

[@GremlinSciences]

You don't need to scramble, but you do need to be nervous because _when was the last time you saved manually?_ @@kikinovella2173 If it's like you just dropped your quicksave and immediately got wrecked, you can just open the menu (or quit out) and reload the next most recent save, which is normally an autosave from just a few minutes prior. However when it's the autosave that triggered right before you got shrecked then you've got to hope that you had been manually saving frequently and your last manual save wasn't several hours prior or all the way back at the start of the game.
