I was introduced to the world of online chat rooms in the mid-2000's..
Horrendous..
One bloke invaded my box (not a euphemism) and asked me what I was wearing on my feet. Me being me, answered truthfully. 'I'm wearing my slippers mate. One's got a hole in'. Then he was gone.
Another bloke (in his sixties, it turned out) was trying to chat up young women and he buggered me off for being too old for him. (I was 36!)
