<p>Ok most of u probably have AIM? well ok u know away messages...well ill have an away message up..maybe cuz im eating dinner or working on a paper or researching..or i just dont want to talk to certain people...and particularly those people will im..over and over...and expect me to respond. they;ll sign on..ill be away..they;ll read my message that clearly states im AWAY and then proceed to im me! "Hey" they say "Whats up".....WHATS UP? Im away!!! thats whats up. argh. and so i said to someone today...sorry i cant talk right now, hence the away message, will be on later though/ they say "whatever". this is annoying. and this sounds-- i dont know?--- like im whining and i have nothing important to worry about. I do. but its annoying. And similar stuff must happen to others. Im rambling. ok.</p>
<p>ive never had that problem... your friends must be retarded if they dont understand the concept of the away</p>
<p>I agree with stonecold. You can also block them if you don't want to talk to them, they won't know, you just will never be online to them. Or, you can sign on as invisible and so no one knows you're on unless you IM them.</p>
<p>this is y i sometimes block people....temporarily at least</p>
<p>yeah i temporarily block people all the time, just when you dont feel like talking to them or somthing</p>
<p>Or you could use an IM API to program responses back to these dorks... except spending your time doing that would make you a dork as well :p</p>
<p>Just hide your windows when you're away, so if they pop up, they won't be in your way. I guess blocking is another solution, but it doesn't work for me (I often forget to unblock people...).</p>
<p>I'd just block 'em. Thats what I normally do when I can't talk to someone.</p>
<p>I would internet slap them. Its a program where you press a button and they fedex a midget to the other persons house who slaps them. </p>
<p>Its slow, but they're working on it.</p>
<p>Well if it's any consolence, I don't want to talk to you.</p>
<p>your words hurt me somethin' fierce.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>I was talking to the OP who doesn't want to talk to people miles</p>
<p><em>sniff</em></p>
<p>So, you really DO like me!</p>
<p>I block everyone out of AIM-email allows time and is better.</p>
<p>thanks okinawa!</p>
