> It's right behind you!

Where? I can't see it, I've walked 100s of blocks around my base. If it was just next to me I'd know.

> Have you checked behind you?

Of course I have, I just told you I've walked 100s of blocks, in fact it's probably closer to 1000s.

> Ok, I hear you but like that spot behind you is 20 blocks away, have you checked there?

Are you an idiot? Of course I did. That's what I keep telling you, are you stupid?

> Come on, humour me, lets walk over there and look

Fine, fine. FFS, what a waste of time, I've been over there tons of times and there's not any cla..... GOD DAMNIT!

if that doesn't work, switching tasks instead of quitting the game.

In fairness, quitting the game and doing something else for a while is sometimes the best option. It's a lot more difficult to think clearly when one is frustrated, which leads to the player making more mistakes than they normally would. Taking a break to go eat a meal, watch a movie, play another game, etc. gives the player time to decompress and come back to VS with a clear mind when they're ready. 

Just...don't ragequit immediately after dying--wait until you've retrieved your stuff, if it's stuff you care about. Doesn't matter if you do it legit or use some console commands to get it back, but if you log out before retrieving it, it WILL be gone when you return.
