The Avid Time-waster

<div class="IPBDescription">I'm sure you have all talked to them.</div> Well it was just today that I finally snapped. It was becasue of this one girl that kept IMing me on AIM and starting a typical convo that goes like this:

"yo wassup?"
"hi"
"so wat do you want to talk about?"

It ticks me off becasue she is just a waste of my life. I told here that she should not IM me unless she had something to say that was worthwile. She is not the only one. Other people have done this to me and it finally came out today in a burst of anger. But I feel better now. Have any of you ever encountered one?

I hate it most when you ask them "do you want to chill" and they say "oh, I can't" and it is only 8:30 PM. It's also annoying when you know they're just sitting there doing absolutely nothing but AIM. I mean, at least check out the weather, watch some dirty movies, steal some music, research Nietsche, DO SOMETHING!!! But no, they just want to know "wassup." And then the conversation goes no where.

Epidemic

... What's a gerl?

Stakhanov

Heh , I've stopped using ICQ because of that.

-hi , how are you ?
-fine , thanks
-what's up ?
-nothing peculiar.
-plz tell me something !
-care to talk about politics ?
-meh...

EEK

I block people on my lists that even start to talk like that. Everyone on my lists are strictly on a need-to-talk basis.

Though the worst is the liberal spammer.

I know what it's like, my cat would always meow at me when I was on the computer, and I would talk to him....but the the coversation would never go anywhere. So one day I just exploded on him "Why the **** do you keep mewing at me, you never have anything worthwhile to say!!"

He stopped after that, turns out I just forgot to feed him a few times...wonder what happend to him....

Haven't had that experience.

"how stupid it is when people start conversation and they don't know what they want to talk about"

RPG_Jssmfulhud

I had numerous people contact me, which I've never known before or met them at all, and they go "Hi.", then there's silence. So I ask them what do they want and the answer is mostly: "I forgot what I wanted to talk about."

Thanks a bundle! ...

Dorian_Gray

Ugh I hate those kinds of people. Oh, and the ones who assume you hate them and never want to see them again or hear from them if you don't respond to their IMs within 5-8 seconds. Sad bit is, said person gradually become more and more correct, and then they were blocked <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I don't like the kind of people that want me to be around just because they want my company. When I go somewhere or sit somewhere, I do it for a reason, not because somebody else has nothing to do and just doesn't want to be alone, dammit!

Teufel_Eldritch

No AIM, MS IM, ICQ, IRC or whatever for me. I dont do that net chat thing....well save for forums.

I've had quite a lot of outbursts at people on msn. Got rid of most now though.

Hahaha good one dude. I'm going to use that "pink" one when people ask me how life is.

Mullet

What's up everyone?

Quaunaut

For me, I find that people like that usually just want to get to know you. They don't really want to waste your time- they just want to get to know you, and don't know how to go about it.

BaconTheory

Well actually, these are people eho I know and have met before, so theres no reason for this nonsense.

Gliss

It's just the <i>way</i> they say it that annoys me. I hate people who type ^ for up. Shift and 6 is longer than just typing U and P, geez. And the wat and wut annoys me to no end, I have no idea why. And wot, too. WTH.
"wat is ^"
"What?"
"wut cha doin"
"SUYF."
"wat?"

Hawkeye

Typically, the first 10 minutes of a conversation is simply small talk.

"How are you?"

"Oh I'm fine. How are you?"

"I'm good, thanks. How's your family?"

"Good good. Thanks for asking."

"So nice day today, eh?"

"Nice day indeed."

"We're supposed to get a little rain Tuesday though."

"Yeah yeah.."

"So how's your job?"

<b>"I AM A SPAWN OF SATAN AND I SHALL DESTROY YOU!..."</b>

"What?!?!"

"Oops! You know sometimes that happens when I get tired of small talk.. Sorry." <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm glad I don't know anybody like that. The solution is pretty simple, though. Block them.

To find the answer to the question you must leave your house, walk 100,000 miles in any direction avoiding bodies of water, stop, dig a hole. If you have already walked the 100,000 miles with out bringing a hole digging device, use your hands.

Now tunnel down exactly 5 miles there you will find a secrect underground cavern, be sure to put on your helmit before entering or the mind leeches will eat your brain. If you forgot you're helmet just cover your head and run in a zig-zag pattern, this part isn't long. At the end of the cavern there is a large metal door, knock 5 times. The door well open slowly and reveal a tunnel, walk slowly for the ground will decive your eyes and fall away at any moment.

The tunnel will take you deeper into the earth it will get very hot, you're shoes may melt, be sure to have your hover boots with you. If you forgot the hover boots then I'm afriad you must end your quest here and except your eventual death by severe foot burn.

At the end of the tunnel there will be a large black pit, agian you need the hover boots, use them to hover to the center of the pit, then take them off.
You will fall for 3 days in compelete darkness, and wish you were dead.
However this pit is not endless, moments before you hit the ground and explode into a billion goupy peices of yourself, you will notice a small sign with the answer to your question. Read quickly you have but mere seconds.

This is how real life socializing has another advantage over online "socializing". In real life, if you don't like somebody talking to you, you can always stab them in the face, or punch them in the eye.
