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? |

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.

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.

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

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. |

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.

 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.

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. ;) |

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. |

" ______: 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.

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!

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.

Freaking ridiculous.  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. |

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. Auto response from salcha4u: january 22, 2008 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 |

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.

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. |

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. |
