I met a weirdo on the interwebNow, I've met lots of nice people on the internet - but it's the weird ones that stick in your mind. Such as the guy who borrowed a film off me in Cambridge and turned out to be so smelly, so hairy, so nervous and, well, so downright needy that I've never bothered getting it back.
Tell us about the strange people you've met on the internet.

AOL is not your friendEver since my parents first got their shiny new PC when Windows 98 was a new thing, we've always used AOL dialup as our provider, unfortunately. I've met some lovely people over AIM, admittedly, but I've also met some total weirdoes...
- The 35-year-old Big Brother obsessive who keeps inviting me to meetups of the Yahoo group I'm not a member of and tries to get my home address out of me several times a year. Basically they sit around in a pub listening to each other sing. Yay. I have a specific email address for him, just so he won't infect my other inboxes, and I've filtered him out of my LJ friends list because I can't unfriend him without him noticing.
- The person with a lot of numbers in their name who swore blind he'd spoken to me the week before in a kinky chatroom (I was 14 at the time).
- The guy who kept messaging me over a period of about a week saying "I've been a bad boy, please punish me". I only realised a few days later that a 'friend' who'd been over had added the line "Occupation: Professional dominatrix" to my profile, and no amount of telling him "I'm 14, leave me alone!" would change his mind.
- The girl with the multiple personalities... she flamed me as harshly as a preteen can ("u r ssssooooooo sad!!!!!! lol!!!!!" etc) and when I IMed her to thank her for her lovely email denied all knowledge and claimed to be her own mother. She then threatened to report me for flaming her.
I could name so many more but I'd be here all night.
