Most embarrassing question on the internet

[tsaiko]

I wondering: what was the most embarrassing question that you've ever been asked over the internet?

Mine was when, after reading a piece of my writing (which granted, hadn't been proofread so that was my bad), someone asked me if English was my native language. Talk about a blow to an American-can't-speak-any-other-language-but-English writer.

What was even worse was after I responded yes, they didn't believe me. -_-

Obviously, if they heard me talk, they'd know that English was if not my native language then one I am fluent in. If I wasn't so eager to get my stories out and actually took advantage of beta-readers, this wouldn't have been an issue either so it is partially my fault.

So what is your most embarrassing question asked on the internet?

If being a virgin in Transylvania made you vampire bait. *sweatdrops*

This was way back in my days as an Anne Rice fan. Of course, people didn't really believed I actually lived here, so claiming to do so made you the target of jokes.

LOL. I bet you get all sorts of interesting questions just because of where you live.

When I lived in another state, I actually had someone ask me if indoor plumbing was common.

*snort* I didn't mention the ones assuming Romania was a third world country.

Dude, since I'm online, you would assume I have all basic utilities first, or I wouldn't be spending money surfing the web - I'd be spending them on food and medical supplies. Really, the logic of some people...

lol, dude, are you serious? Well, there's one born every minute...

Oh yeah, I'm dead serious.

the reason i don't get on aim anymore:
4 years ago (or thereabouts), i made an online friend. he seemed pretty cool, but i never met him irl or anything, and no one knew how any of us first met him. i think he just showed up one day. anyway, since i was finishing middle school, i was a sugar-fiend...and a middle schooler, which shouldn't need any explanation. We were joking around, and he asked me to have a tea party over the internet with him. We did.
And then he asked my bra size.
O_o? I don't know where it all went wrong.

Some people are just creepy. Though there's always the chance that he thought you were older than you were. Or something. o_O

Not sure if it counts since I vaguely knew the guy in real life, but I had someone ask me on MSN if I'd consider mud wrestling with his wife while he watched. He as much as admitted that it turned him on and that he was hoping for a threesome with us, which apparently his wife was okay with.

I was more creeped out than embarrassed, actually...

Someone asked me if I was a virgin, and if so, how I planned on losing it.

Needless to say, I never talked to him again.
