Freakin' IMs

[unicorn]

Don't message me right away. I didn't sign in expecting an IM from you, I was hoping someone I like more chats with me first. Plus, more attractive people have priority over you.

If I don't reply, don't assume I'm ignoring you (although I might, or might just be afk). And especially don't keep IMing me! If I didn't respond to your initial greeting, and then the "???" or "are u there?" then chances are I'm not responding right away. I definetely won't respond if I see this:

"Hi"
"???"
"u there?"
(5 mins later)
"r u ignoring me? "
(30 seconds later)
"how r u"
"u must be busy"
(10 minutes later)
"you dont want to talk to me {{name}} "

{infinite loop}

WTF people. What if I'm taking a shit or something? Damn. I also have the TV on most of the time.

One particular person on my list happens to be very insecure and sometimes continues with messages like:

"why must everyone ignore me"
"i guess you don't like me that much"
"i must be boring"

Even when we start a conversation:

DepressedMoFo: "Hey, havent seen you in a while" (because I block him every now and then)
LilOlMe: "Yeah, I've been busy" (not RLY)
DepressedMoFo: "How are you? "
LilOlMe: "Pretty good, nuffin new. Youuu?"
DepressedMoFo: "Same shit..."

EVERY SINGLE TIME HE IMS ME. WTF? Then have a strawberry milkshake and cheer the f***k up! I can't continue a conversation just talking about me!


And I especially hate the people who IM *ME* first and then take forever to reply. When you IM me, I get the impression you have time to talk. Its a different story if I initiate the conversation, because you aren't entitled to continue the conversation.

So don't do this:

FicklePerson: "Heey"
LilolMe: "Hii hii"
(5 minutes later)
LilolMe: "?"
(7 minutes later)
FicklePerson: "wats up"
LilolMe: "Not much, you?"
(8 minutes later)
*I close conversation*
(5 minutes later)
FicklePerson: "nm. what are you up to?"

I MEAN PLEASE PEOPLE. Its like real life. If someone is takin a dump, you don't stand outside the door and keep trying to talk with em. And if they randomly watch TV, you don't try to interrupt them. And if you come up to someone, you should try to withhold the conversation, otherwise why come up to them in the first place? And please, most people can't reply to certain things like "I'm depressed" or "I want to die".

That never really bothered me, unless it was as your example was, where they have absolutely nothing to talk about after going through all of that.

IM, more like EMO.

Emo(tional) Messages Online. Instantly.

And please, most people can't reply to certain things like "I'm depressed" or "I want to die".

Well you already know what to do there. Offline hiding ninja mode, or block, or log off the EMO message transfer game.

[zwandude15]

Most Instant Messaging programs/sites give you the option of signing on invisibly now..

That way if you signed on and someone had sent you an offline message, it kind of gives
you the choice of replying or not at that point. They're at your disposal. :P

I hate when I'm on my phone, and you know how AIM lets people know that the person is on their phone, and the person continues to send multiple messages.

I fucking hate that!

It happens all the time, because I'm almost never on AIM, even when I'm on my computer.

I hate having to read 10102901 messages before being able to reply to 1 of them.

And please, most people can't reply to certain things like "I'm depressed" or "I want to die".

I've never actually gotten a message like that before. This disappoints me, because I have some awesome ideas of what to respond with.
"Want some help? I got a gun."

[Nitro Vordex]

The thing I hate most is when people IM you and then they don't fucking continue, or they just don't want to say anything.

Derp: Hi
Me: Heya, what's up?
Derp: nm you?
Me: -I tell them what I'm doing.-
Derp: Cool

And then I have to pick up the conversation. Or it'll be "lol". If you're just gonna send one word answers or acronyms to me(including text messages) you probably don't want to talk to me anyway.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh man, I was going to say something important in this thread but Chuck just blew my mind all over your face and now I forgot. Tragic, really.

[Chuck_Norris]

If that's sarcasm I will feel sad and want to die.

[Mysterious-G]

Put him on the invisible list and don`t be so emo about it yourself. :c
