When someone tries to tell you something..., ON AN AWAY MESSAGE ! Options

[pandamonium]

i freaking hate this game where people put up a general away message and you know they are talking about you....

If you are one of these people, please grow up and say it to their face, or atleast have the decency to im them please.

Have you guys every experienced this?

[fameONE]

Sounds pretty... um, what's the word for this, juvenile.

[freeflow]

Ah I hate those. My friend does that all the time. She'll type the first letter of people's names and start talking about them or to them through her away message. Small messages like three words are cool with me, but when it tarts getting into the paragraph size you might of just IMed the person. They act like you won't read it, and they want everyone to know your business.

[iDecay]

I have a friend who did that with her boyfriend. She basically had her own fight with herself and the away message for about an hour. Freaking ridiculous.

[livwho]

Yeah, it's happened to me before, but you move on and prove to them that you're the bigger person.

[pandamonium]

They act like you won't read it, and they want everyone to know your business.

exactly ! i am going through one right now actually.

this girl is freaking crazy. she says she isnt talking about my friend but about this other guy she knows ! And im like yo,you dont have any other friends that i know about, so who could you possibly be talking about...

gosh some people are childish and psycho at the same time.

then when you confront her about it its like she doesnt know who you are talking about.

[MissHygienic]

Oh, yeah, I hate these petty, indirect games of, "I'm angry with you, but I won't really tell it to your face." Same with this whole MySpace top friends issue. It's not to be taken seriously, it's a space in which you can waste time.

[freeflow]

Girls have a tendency to use that "other friend I know" excuse. That would be the hint to me that she was lying. If only they'd understand it's better to just say it than bring the whole world into business that is not theirs.

[libertie]

What, you mean like, "Don't you love it when your friends betray you?" as the entire body of the message, not telling you why they're away?

Or like "I'm not here right now, but if you happen to be reading this, you a-hole, you were supposed to call me three hours ago."

Hmm. I actually never noticed it. Usually away messages have song lyrics in technicolor, in my experience.

I, however, am one of the annoying people who leaves the computer for hours and never puts up an away message. ;)

[babecakes]

"I'm not here right now, but if you happen to be reading this, you a-hole, you were supposed to call me three hours ago."

that's pretty cute :).

[superstitious]

I just can't relate to any of this.

Sucks when people can't just tell you that they have an issue though. I tell ya, being direct is becoming more and more passé.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

Have you guys every experienced this?

Nope I am usually nice to people (or try to be) so if there was a message that was directed toward me it would probably be something kind back.

[freeflow]

" ______: You're a freakin retard. I hate you guts. Don't you dare IM me again because you're stupid and you need to die"

I know a lot of people that pull stuff like that. Pretty much its like anonymous shout outs in an away message.

[michellerrific]

If I'm saying something about someone else in those messages, it's usually on a positive note. But for other people? It's a guessing game!

[Insurmountable]

lmao I was this person years ago.
XD

I just don't care, actually..I don't even read away messages anymore o_O and the only one I ever leave is that I'm working and to leave a message or something.

[DoubleJ]

I hate that, but the Myspace bulletins are the worst. If you have something to say to me, have the balls to say it. If not, shut the f**k up and hop on the next person's dick. The end.

[transcendentalis...]

what a way to pass the time.

the only reason i'd ever communicate to someone via away message would be something along the lines of "josh, call me when you get back" and that's too much for me anyway... i mean, hell, there's nothing wrong with leaving the other person a message of your own if you're so desperate.

[salcha4u]

Snaps. I do this all the time. I also treat my away messages like a blog. Today:




allison******: dear sally:
you talked to me today. shouldn't that be enough to make your day?
love,
allison

PS: do your homework.

dear away message;
today must have been the boringest day of my life. i woke up at 8AM and was still early to school for my first day as a second semester senior. my schedule sucks cause all my friends and i got separated )': so i feel like a loner in my first two periods. thats bad, cause if i dont have someone to talk to, i might fall asleep. then i went to work and that was freaking boring. then i came home and im still freaking bored and i really need to find something productive to do other than playing 4 hours of facebook tetris and snake.

IM BORED!!!!!!!
- sally

[stephinika]

Haha, wow thats intense. Haven't done that before...but yeah, I hate it when people put their whole lives on their...like c'mon, is that really necessary?

[jaeman]

Sounds pretty... um, what's the word for this, juvenile.

Word. It's exactly what it is.

[S-Majere]

I always set my MSN messenger status to away - even when I'm not. It keeps the noobs from harrassing me and anyone that knows me well never bothers with the status check. If my music's playing, I'm in front of the screen.

[tokyo-rose]

I've had positive away messages dedicated to me, lol.

Erm, but my best friend's friend was broken up with through an away message a few years ago. Her friend's boyfriend was like, "You know we're over, right?" in his away message. LAME. LAME. LAME.

[libertie]

ROFL Sally that's cute. xD

[iDecay]

Oh! I know a girl who broke up with her boyfriend via myspace bulletin. It was something along the lines of, "f**k you for being an a-hole. I'm dumping you right here, right now."
Sally, that's adorable.

I leave song lyrics to confuse people. One time, my friend thought I was slitting my wrists when I put up the emo song.

[hypnotique]

I have no problem with putting up my away message after fighting with My boyfriend or something with "Pissed off"

Short and sweet.

I mean, if it is a spouse thing, or a sibling thing that is something different. When you are trying to come at somebody else, that is just plain wrong. I also hate when people act like punks and use the facebook status as a way to do it.

[MissHygienic]

Away messages should only be used for its purpose: an away message. Any other personal information or drama should be kept to yourself.

[DoubleJ]

Agreed, but getting people to do that is better said than done. Some people just don't have the balls to confront others.

[MissHygienic]

It's not even about confronting others. The fact that people have to go so far as to acknowledge and share your bullshit with your entire contact list is annoying. I hate it when people do it with me; especially on MSN with its "personal status."

It'd be all, "Sally-You're not as good of a friend as I thought."

Shut. The. Hell. Up.

[fagget]

That's some bitch-made shit.

I've always wanted to say that, I just thought it'd be appropriate.

[LoveToMySilas]

I know what you mean, I call it the away message fights. I hate when they say that they don't care and yet they put it on blast in their away messages.

What is this msn thing? Is it worth the look Whit?

[MissHygienic]

MSN thing? Don't tell me y'all are still AIM users.

[DoubleJ]

I am a religious aim user. Who on here uses it?

[MissHygienic]

That shit is outdated, to me. I'm a die-hard fan of Windows Live. Anyway, it's a personal status thing that resembles the Facebook status. You type in whatever you want, except people choose to use it to pour their feelings out via text. Women.

Hell yeah! I use Windows Live more than AIM. More power to you.

[DoubleJ]

So wait a minute, do you think that I should make the switch to MSN messenger?

[MissHygienic]

Your choice. AIM is and looks ghetto as hell. All of my friends decided they wanted to use Windows Live, so I made the switch, and then everyone I knew abandoned AIM. Apparently, for cB members, it's a different story.

[Tung]

Windoes Live Messnger is altogether greater. Better smileys, better skins, you can use emoticons, the webcam feature actually works, as AIM's webcam feature sucks and always crashes. Let's see, you can update your status all the time, you can have it show what music you are Now Playing. There's a whole bunch more that makes Windows Live Messenger superior to AIM.

I was never a fan of AIM 6.0 and above.

I kept to my AIM 5.1 because it was more stable and simpler. But I still prefer MSN over AIM.

[DoubleJ]

So if I join, will I have two new friends?

[Tung]

My MSN is on my cBspace. You know where to find me. But if you are lazy, because you're a black niggah, I understand.

[DoubleJ]

Thanks! I love your sig by the way.

[Tung]

Sorry to Spam, but which part of the SIG are you referring to?

My Rainie Yang signature, my myspace link, or my quote I posted?

[DoubleJ]

The whole thing! I think it is cool overall.

[JCLore]

^i like his picture

back on topic....never had that problem

[datass]

i do that sometimes. i leave a message for someone and usually no one else reads it, lol.
