Random people contacting you in ICQ/AIM/MSN

Man, it's just too weird. Like, real people rather than automated shag-a-russian-bots. I'm never sure what to do, so I tend to gently go to invisible, in the internet equivalent of slowly inching away going 'oooooookkkkkkay'.

I tend, from time to time, to get random people from the FS fandom IMing me... in which case, I quickly send them to Karajorma and answer their further questions with "I rarely play these days, you should ask kara." :nervous:
Though, I do have this one person who claims to have gotten my IM from HLP, yet always wants to talk about his love life with me. o.'.o No idea why, really. And, oddly, I seem to always reply and end up in conversation with him... o.'.O

Things like this are why I no longer use IM programs...
Well, that and the bots.

I've got a succession of IMs from german women. No idea why either. Most of the time they just say hello and then wonder off again.
One of them did send me a picture that looks suspiciously like Penelope Cruz though

Are either of you (aldo + taristin) talking about me LoL?
I've had a few cases of randoms, but in most cases it was just a mistake adding of the contact or something and I never speak to them again. That or I just never reply.

Acting completely bewildered when they contact me. That move always gets them.
