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.

singles sites!I used to belong to a site, www.meet-the-mentally-ill.com, or that's what it should've been called.
One lady who will live long in my memory described herself as 32 and then admitted she was 36. Her being 36 didn't bother me (I was 31 or so at the time), but the lying seemed a bit odd.
We arranged to meet at a nightclub, she didn't turn up, I left a message. She had an excuse about how she fell asleep and her flatmate didn't know she had to be anywhere and so didn't wake her up...OK, fair enough, yet seemingly a bit odd. I think probably the level of detail of the excuse was what seemed off, rather than just saying 'sorry, I feel asleep'.
And she liked to chat via instant message...once I had to log off to re-load my computer, or something...she interpreted this as rejecting her and left a message about how if I don't want to see her I should just bloody say so...
And finally, she left another angry phone message saying that my "inbox isn't working" ie presumably she's got my email address wrong. I sent her back an email saying no, it's fine, email me - basically giving her the choice of contacting me or not. Which she didn't, luckily.
