Rules of AIM?, aol instant messenger Options

[*jeanna*]

Do you have any rules when using AIM? Things you hate that your friends does when talking on it?

What do you think about who messages first concerning a person you like? Do you ever play hard to get through there?

What I hate is when my friend does this:

her (12:25:15 AM): and we went to target
her (12:25:21 AM): and got back to my house around 10
her (12:25:24 AM): and we watched tv
her (12:25:31 AM): and i went to the bathroom at like 1240
her (12:25:33 AM): and my mom came down
her (12:25:37 AM): i heard her but i was in the bathroom
her (12:25:42 AM): and she came to the bathroom door
her (12:25:45 AM): and was like gina
her (12:25:47 AM): ur friend has to go
her (12:25:50 AM): its time for bed
her (12:25:54 AM): and iwas like kay
me (12:25:58 AM): how lameee lol


They
just
need
to
write
it
in full sentences.

Alright my guy friend has worse internet than me so he is always signing off and on or becoming idle so I never talk to him first because idk if he's even there. Plus if I message him first every time I feel that he'll think I'm desperate..lol.

[RyanWasHere]

I make things short and simple on AIM, just like if I'm texting...unless I'm trying to flirt with someone I know, and yea I hate when people try to give you every little detail to, but it doesnt bother me that much, my usual AIM convos consist of four words, "Hey, Yea, Lol, K, Later"

[ersatz]

I think it's nice when people IM me first. It lets me know they want to talk to me. Plus sometimes I'm testing to see if they actually will so sometimes I let them do it purposefully. But I always IM and call my boyfriend first, so I don't think it's bad or desperate.

i have a friend that does that and i flipped out on him one day, and he's like, "well, idk why i do it, it's a habit"

im like grrrrrrr

[EddieV]

I hate when my friends type improperly so I have to ask them to call me and tell me instead.

[Detective]

Haha! I'm guilty of doing that sometimes. But i don't mind sometimes, it keeps it in order i guess.

[Relentless]

I HATE that when someone does that!

They use like 4-6 words and enter, rinse and repeat. I find it very annoying if its a long story cuz then you keep hearing the sound over and over.

[LadyXTor]

I hate it when they use emoticons like this: o_O -_- >_<. I don't know why, but they bug me.

[*jeanna*]

I hate it when they use emoticons like this: o_O -_- >_<. I don't know why, but they bug me.

i sometimes use >.< on here. but that's only because im too lazy to click stuff ha

[Amaranthus]

I really hate it when they say "OMG, like LOL!" every 5 seconds.
Or when they I'm me just to tell me they're bored.
I'm just like Stfu, please.

[superficial]

HAHA! Me too, but I don't really care if they IM me or not. They usually do.

I hate it
when people
dont know how to
type in full sentences
too.

And I hate it when people say "lol" even when it's not even funny... and when I AIM them back, they don't respond and just ignore it (even if I do that sometimes) or if they just cut in the middle of me saying something.

sameee here. but i dont like talking to those types of people anyways. mostly attention whores

[Amaranthus]

Yeah, I blocked me friend who used to do that.
Havent imed her in months.

[dustbunny]

I
always
type like
this
because
i'm too excited
to tell my friend things
so i keep pressing enter
and then i get over limited
and that really sucks.

I'm always on my away message because I can talk while away; then I can ignore whoever I don't want to talk to! yay!

[xoxoxx]

that's mean.

[MrElsewhere]

I find myself using phrases such as, "and then i blahblahblah" over and over. AIM conversations don't always need to be prose, ya know.

[transcendentalis...]

i keep my "whatever"s to myself unless the person i'm talking to knows me really well... only one comes to mind. i rarely ever type that out as a one-word reply, and usually i'll type something like "whatevarrr" instead.

to me, "whatever" just means that you don't care, and that's not true about the people i talk to.

sometimes i sign on and watch the clock... entertaining.
i can wait forever to start a conversation online. if it's urgent, i'll go over in person or use the phone.

[wishforhelsinki]

I hate it when they use emoticons like this: o_O -_- >_<. I don't know why, but they bug me.

Guilty.

-_-*

I do the whole incomplete sentence pattern sometimes, too. I just get so cautious if I'm telling someone something and it ends up being a whole paragraph.

[RAWRstephishere]

I tend to start talking like the person Im talking to.

One of my friends doesnt use punctuation, capitalization, and such and I notice whenever I talk to her, I dont use that either.

But whenever I talk to another friend who always uses ' I tend to use them when I normally dont.

[arghrawr]

Ahh the complications of today's technology.
I really dislike it when all people say are "lol" over and over again.
I don't really mind people pressing the enter button repeatedly. I do it too sometimes when I'm telling a story and I want to build suspense.

[shiftieeyedpnoi]

We

Or comma

Apology accepted.

[superficial]

WHEN THEY STiLL TyPE LiKE THiS.

[Smilessss]

hahaha reminds me of how i type on AIM XDDD but ehh lol now i type in full sentence...at times XD

[Prophet]

They
just
need
to
write
it
in full sentences.

Agreed. I hate when they do that I just wanna shit on there face.

[arcanum]

I have a few friends who do that, but I just kind of ignore it...
I have a friend who says "lol" to EVERYTHING! I'm like "You cant be seriously laughing out loud every time, quit lying".
And sometimes I ask him why he keeps saying it. His response is always "becuz ur funny".
Lame.

[Joss-eh-lime]

I really hate it when they say "OMG, like LOL!" every 5 seconds.
Or when they I'm me just to tell me they're bored.
I'm just like Stfu, please.

yesss.

when people say LOL i KNOW they aren't actually laughing out loud.


i write in full sentences, and dont leave out vowels. i dont know if that bothers others, but thats what i do.

[Insurmountable]

lmao

I talk like that on aim, because everytime I write in full sentences...it always gives me that stupid error that I'm wrote to much >_>

[LianaIsTheShit]

ugh i hate when people do that. i have a friend who types like this-

me: hey
her: hey...sup
me: nothing really, you?
her: nothin...just chillen...im s0o bored..hah..lol

everything she says is hah...lol
i hate it!!

[ArtificialBlonde]

Yeah, the cut off sentences and lol's after every thought are what caused me to stop using AIM as much. If people really want to talk to me, they can call me up. =]

BTW, why is this in relationships?

[*jeanna*]

WHY? BECAUSE I MOTHER f**kING SAID SO, c**t!


:) jk.

"Do you ever play hard to get through there?"

[livwho]

A conversation I had with my friend over MSN.

Her:"hey..... lol. can i ask you something??????"
Me: "Sure. What's up?"
Her: "ok lol. like i need this favor lol. and it's really important lol. could you print out my english assignment???? my printer is being gay. lol."
Me: "Er-- okay."

It's constantly "lol" or "??????". It drives me insane. How about a f**king comma every now and then?

[Eww]

Goodness!
I've seen so many horrible ways of typing, it breaks my heart D:
I hate it when people type what they like to call "1337"
Holy crap.
And I really FRICKIN' hate it when people do things like (:<3, or "<3" or ilyy, or alaa, or lessthanthree<3
And when people are like "oh yoh, that's madd ohdee BLEH. I hate that with all my guts ;~;
Ohohohoh!! And that reminds me of those who
TYPE ALL iN CAPS AND ONLY USE LOWER CASE LETTERS FOR THE LETTER "i" iT'S LiKE SO LiKE NOT COOL, MUCH? <-- Another thing I can't frickin' stand.
Example: Ohmgsh, this shirt is so pretty, much?
Lol, she's SUCH a loser, much?

And a bunch of other crap people have created.
I mean, Y0H TH4T'S LiK33 M4DD 0HD33, MUCH?

[MissHygienic]

I don't like it when people give me one word responses such as, "lol" or "okay." It's not short or sweet, it really shows your concern for continuing the conversation or lack thereof.

[Insurmountable]

Moved to the Lounge.

[1angel3]

I hate when people take to long to reply back. I wish they learn how to type faster or tell me they're busy.

[LoveToMySilas]

Haha, guilty. I can never type a full sentence on AIM for some reason. It just seems to long. I can't stand sticky cappers and people who just say Ok/w.e/cool throughout the whole convo.

i do it sometimes but it's oddly only on msn since the rate limit is so small. they make it seem like you're going to sign off any second lol
