Anyone else hate it when people leave AIM messages for you and then sign off?

Just got back from watching the packers suck over at a friends house. If youre going to leave messages to people who are away, its nice to stay online so they can respond later

Anyone annoyed by this or am I a wierdo?

One of my friends left an IM like an hour ago while I was out - I really don't expect her to sit around in front of the computer all night just to see if I come back at some point to talk with her....

if they're like "hi," and sign off like a second later, then that is rude. otherwise, it's normal and people shouldn't be waiting forever for you to return. but they should leave a message if they see that you're away.

Maybe they don't leave their computer on when they're not using it.

it's pretty fvcked up of you to not tell people what time you'll be back in your away message.

In my opinion, you're the one in the wrong here.

I hate it when people do sh!t like sign off before i reply.

With girl friends (notice the space) - I hate it when they do this.

her (11:55:55): good night
her (11:55:56) has signed off

and i am just like WTF - i just typed the "good" of my "good night" reply.

Big deal. Just call them up and scream in their face and show them how abusive and abnormal you are.

sometimes they're really sleepy and dont want to wait for u to respond. for all they know, u wont be back for another five minutes.
