Mine happened tonight. I've been recruiting for my groups Eberron game over Openrpg. I got a few interested folks on another forum and have been speaking with them here and there for about a week.
I spoke to one over AIM for about 45 minutes a week ago, told the person to sign up on our forum and if they had their character ready they could start tonight. Didn't hear one word from them until tonight when I checked back. I had a couple of other folks looking in to see what our game was like prior to joining. This person showed up, asked a few questions about the character they wanted to play and without even saying goodbye, dropped off the server.
They've also erased the post that requested an invite to the game.
Now, I can understand hanging out with a group and deciding that their game is not for you, but just leaving and then erasing any evidence that you were speaking to them in the first place?

The worst intro I remember wasn't for stupidity but just for plain old bad luck.
Had a new player in our Bushido game way back.
First fight with a bunch of Bakemono, his Bushi died in about the second round.
Luckily, character creation was staggeringly quick and somewhere around the 6th round of the same combat his next character, a Yakuza, happens along, gets stuck in and promptly carved up in round 7.
Some frantic character sheet juggling and a shiny new Budoka runs into the fight, fists flying, in round 10, straight into a critical hit - instant kill.
2 hours, 3 character deaths. Never seen anything like it before or since.

My wife's first D&D game was ... bad. I don't think it was really her fault, though.
She was joining a campaign already in progress with a DM who had *fantastic* behind-the-scenes stories going on (when you could puzzle them out) but who was a bit weaker at the table.
In the current game, we're traveling down a river, wondering when we're going to get introduced to my wife's character. We happen upon a lizardman encampment and proceed to have a knock-down, drag-out battle. Still no sign of my wife's character. We find out that a resupply shipment is due in a couple days, so we camp. Soon, the boats arrive and we ambush the lizardman convoy.
This fight takes forever, with lots of lizardmen swimming off, being tracked down, slowed-movement due to the depth of the water, etc. Finally, at the end of the battle, we find someone tied up in one of the boats: my wife's character.
Her first D&D experience involved several hours of not playing because the DM couldn't think of a way to get her into the action earlier.
This is the same DM who, when introducing two newbies to the game, gave one of them a Rogue (with Combat Expertise and a BAB of +0) and the other a ... druid?

A couple of thoughts struck me when I read this:
1. Did he also insist male characters roll for penis size?
2. Why did nobody hold him down while Jen kicked him in the nuts and punched him in the face?
3. What a loser.
