I once snapped on some idiot - Dolly Buster - 28-03-2023

in Yahoo audio chat 20-ish years ago

His username ended in 69, so I thought he was making a sexual insinuation which irritated me.

After I lambasted him, it turns out he is some disabled guy, and probably only chose 69 as his birth year 1969.

I never used Yahoo audio chat but I remember a similar situation using MSN chatrooms in 1999 (or was it 2000?). I went in with a female name (I had "single, not looking" on my profile), but some guy from the UK asked me if I can "touch the mic" for him. Back then I remember thinking, "this guy doesn't actually mean use the microphone right, he means something sexual, why is he talking about 'touching?'" It just sounded perverted to me.

Do you remember fireball226 (later renamed herself to Fireball)

There's even an urbandictionary entry on her (and a term she coined)
