What's your... I finally met my online friend, horror story. Back during World of Warcraft's

0:07.1

second expansion, there was this guy in my guild I'd become friends with, mostly through other friends.

0:12.0

We'd talked more and more over time and become fairly close. He had this butthole roommate and I

0:16.9

could hear the guy sometimes, especially when something went wrong during a raid. He'd scream and throw fits. He was pretty awful sounding. My friend told me he wasn't just loud and obnoxious, but verbally and sometimes physically abusive too. I had my own apartment, so I said, you know what? Come stay with me, just long enough to get you on your feet and into a place that's safe. He showed up at my

0:37.9

place with a trash bag full of his stuff and laptop. I set him up in the apartment and started trying to

0:42.9

help him find a job. Well, he did not want a job. He did not get a job either. He sat in my apartment

0:49.4

day after day, eating my food and slowly draining my savings. No matter how hard I tried to get him motivated,

0:56.0

he would just dig in his heels and somehow become more sedentary. Eventually, I told him he had to go.

of his friends to convince them he was in a terrible living situation. It just worked really

1:16.3

well on me because he had that loud, obnoxious roommate to play off. He wound up calling a nearby

1:21.2

relative to come and get him, I think his aunt. I don't know what he told her I supposedly

1:26.0

did, but I have never seen a more venomous look

1:28.5

from someone in my life. As far as I know, he moved in with his sister and brother-in-law after

1:33.3

that, but frankly, I don't care where he ended up. He also stole a bunch of my stuff. First and

1:39.5

last time I do anything like that. Met this dude on EverQuest and we played some games together ever since.

1:46.2

Being a part of the same guild, help each other out on mobile games and have conversations

1:50.1

about life in general.

1:51.6

It isn't him that's the horror story.

1:53.6

It was his mum.

1:54.9

So one day I think we were playing World of Warcraft at the time.
