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.

The InternetI met my current fiancee online so much respect.
Since about 2000 I've maintained a series of digital photography-based weblogs back before everyone had one. As such, I basically photographed every person I came in contact with on a daily basis. It wasn't exactly personal stuff, but I started to notice that more people knew me than I knew.
There was one girl in particular I met outside Value Village, a second-hand department store. She was small and I estimated her age to be 14, and she was with her mom buying camera equipment. She knew everything about my life, including my ex-girlfriend's sleeping habits (she was borderline narcoleptic). I later found out that this girl had already met many of my close friends by saying "You're Eli, right? I saw you in Jon's photos." Luckily in the end she turned out to be cool and was actually a very small 18-year-old. Phew.
