It would be rude/unethical to decide whether or not to chop based upon what your hand is. Basically, a chop is a "blind" chop so the cards are irrelevant.
If everyone at the table is chopping and you don't want to, just say so to the players on your left and right before the situation comes up. There's nothing wrong with that, even if most people would prefer you to chop and save the time.
The Q8 guy is obviously very prone to tilt. Keep him in your game

I've only played live a few times, and I've never even seen a chop happen before, so obviously I wasn't able to tell anyone whether I was in favour of chopping or not.
But... man, I don't know whether it's ethical or not, but if someone is asking me to chop and I'm holding rockets, I ain't chopping.
