I have had this ongoing situation that really bugs me. I will be asked for my IM information from someone I meet online, I give it to them and they IM me at some point or vice-versa. We chat and are having a nice conversation when they just up and leave. They are just suddenly gone with no Good night, bye for now, or anything! I find myself getting alittle hurt at times and even a little maddened by their lack of ettiquette and proper manners. Have you had this happen to you? Do you get a little put out by them or does it even bother you? Do you do this to others as well?

That happened to me,but i have found that people that use their mobile phones to do im on tend to not have a strong enough signal therefore that makes it cut off until they can sign in again.That is the only time i have had a problem with it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Well, I don't know much about the mobile phones and I have never texted before. I have just used mostly Yahoo and occasionally MSN. I used to use AOL too but haven't in months. Isn't it frustrating though?


myLot reputation of 96/100. jugsjugs (3802)   ranked 429 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

I do tend to use msn on my mobile phone and the signal cuts out alot.

This really frustrates me too. Sometimes, they don't even explain themselves in an apologetic way either. I am more careful now, and don't give up my personal information much anymore. Besides, due to my lousy internet connection, I don't have any chat programs downloaded anymore. Suffice it is to saycry


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Ya, suffice it to say---UGH! I have a good cable internet type connection but others seem to live on the edge of the world or something and have zilch! I am glad I live in a capitol city I am thinking.

My husband and I have a friend who we know personally. He has a mylot but hasn't done anything as of yet. I suppose that's beyond the point though. In any case, he will sometimes say night, but most of the time he'll just log off or be idle, sometimes even going to wal*mart. It doesn't hurt us so much as annoy us, but I thought I'd let you know that your not the only one who has experience in this.

I always say, I'm going to be right back, or what now because it's only nice.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

I appreciate that, Dear. I always do the same. I try to live by the
Golden Rule and so I expect that in return. Not too much to ask either. I don't think it is anyway.--?


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (9412)   ranked 82 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

No it is not, I can understand if their im client had problems, I know AIM has those, but usually we'll sign back on, or since my husband and I talk to the same person in a chat, I'll have him say "she's having technical difficulties" or vice versa.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Well atleast it doesn't happen all the time.

Yea..I have had it happen, but I commented on it and the person was suprised and has been very careful not to do it again. I never do that unless I have an emergency with my son or something.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Oh, believe me! I comment on it whenever it happens and I get this response most of the time like I am nuts. That is one reason i did this topic. And, I think if you are IMing with someone that might be a potential boy/girl-friend it would be a definite red flag to me. I just don't care for people who don't treat you with respect. PERIOD!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (7773)  5 months ago

Well...yea..that would be WAY rude...geez.........

I feel sorry for you and your situation,and I can definitely relate to your situation about people being rude,and me and my wife talk to a friend that I found again after two years and we talk to him on AIM everyday,and he has a bad habit of stopping typing and then he will pop up and say I am back,and it is like why did you not tell me you were doing whatever you were doing,and there are times where he just signs off without saying anything and it can get really annoying,and sometimes I want to just reach through the IM and slap him lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Ya, I really think these people need a wake up call big time!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. hellcowboy (4874)   ranked 95 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Yeah I agree big time,they all need to wake up and smell the coffee.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Yes, indeed!


myLot reputation of 96/100. hellcowboy (4874)   ranked 95 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

thumbupOne of these days people will learn.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

I like the idea of slapping them through the computer.


myLot reputation of 96/100. hellcowboy (4874)   ranked 95 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

LOL I am sure a whole lot of people like that idea,and I wonder if that could be considered assault lol,maybe we could do it ninja style,ninja.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

If we did it Ninja style we could just fly there couldn't we? One big jump!


myLot reputation of 96/100. hellcowboy (4874)   ranked 95 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

That is true we could fly there,sneak into their houses and slap them silly without them even knowing we were there or what happened lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

And we could wear some rediculous costume and do a Clock Work Orange on them.


myLot reputation of 96/100. hellcowboy (4874)   ranked 95 out of 806 in chatting  3 months ago

That is a totally awesome idea,and I love silly costumes but what do you mean by a Clock Work Orange?

Well that makes us humans, people tend to do harsh little things without even noticing it, people already hurt other people's feelings but for them it's nothing, they don't know that they already hurt you. Nobody is perfect cause we are humans, that are called mistakes, have you asked your self? have i done this before? definitely your answer will be no! but are you sure? are you 100% sure? I'm sure some noticed it but we don't, cause for us it is also normal, vice-versa for others it's the same. Remember some personalities that people have cannot be noticed by themselves, sometimes it needs other people for you to know what you have done or what are the not so good personalities you have. So don't get hurt it happens to everyone and even with your love ones. Try asking them someday what are the things that you've done to them that they really did not like and you did not even noticed that you've done such things. Just try, and sometimes you'll be shocked it's worst than you expected.

Be happy because you feel a little hurt! it is a proof that you are still a human and can be hurt and commit mistakes anytime and anywhere.

it's just my opinion but sometimes other told me i am right. ^^


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Humans that can maybe do better and more consideration for others I am thinking.

Oh yes! I hate when people do that! I always try to let the person I am chatting with know when I am leaving and sometimes the reason also. I try not to just leave with no goodbye or anything. It has happened before but it does not happen often with me. I love chatting. I will let the person I am chatting with know if something comes up and I have to leave out quickly and then follow up later to finish the conversation if we were not completely finished the time I had to leave.

Well, I no longer get hurt to these types of situations because they're online buddies, they're not real buddies. I have been an internet junkie a few years back and perhaps in those days I'd take the experience personally, but knowing these types of people, I no longer care. Which is why I don't try to get deeper relationships with people online anymore.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Ya, the ones I know better and 'in reality' don't seem to be that way. It still is agrevating no matter whether just online friend or 'in reality'.

Hi! I have a lot of experience in this issue. To be frank some use to say "I love U". I don't know whether those words are from their lips of from heart. But I cam to hear those words twice. I think people don't even say bye or good nit when they leave is not considered to be as our friends. We are free that we can delete their Id from our list.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5684)   ranked 8 out of 806 in chatting  5 months ago

Yes, I have done that several times actually. Taking them off my list does rid me of the problem.
