A friend fell hard for an American nurse he meet over the Internet who works for a hospital in Nigeria. This "relationship" went on for a whole year. When he lost his job and started having financial difficulties, I found out about his Internet girlfriend and started asking his questions. It was too late. He wired his entire savings of $5K on the promise that he would get back his money plus $10K to "hold" for her until she got back to the US. When the check didn't show up, the amount that he would hold gradually increased to $20K. He got mad when I told him he got scammed by a Nigarian confidence scammer. The only proof that he has that this "woman" exist are pictures and texts. No video, no audio. A year later he is still waiting for his check, still thinks he has a girlfriend and believes that she is the victim of the Nigerian government because the president is too ill to sign anyone's paycheck.
I was in college when I played Doom and my roommate played Pokémon. We also played Magic The Gathering card game in the wee hours. Slashdot came along a few years later.

I nominate the guy who tried to get a selfie with a bear. Seriously, folks. Always ask the bear for permission before taking a selfie.

Having to back up my data and do a clean install because the update won't install on my generic Dell laptop? No. No problems at all.
I knew a guy who retired from IT to start his own roofing company in his mid-50's. Makes more money in a summer than he does all year in IT.
