Depends on who they are and also if we are having a meaningful conversation.

Example 1: Girl I'm dating, I probably wouldn't just get up and disappear for a few minutes.

Example 2: One of my buddies, Don't care and they probably won't either. Although I'll probably say brb.

same

If she's put you on hold that long she's not 'your girl' and you're wasting your time.

Do you guys feel comfortable letting a person hang in the middle of a conversation, while you answer an email or fix a snack? I don't understand the appropriate etiquette. Am I supposed to give the person I am talking to my entire attention, or can I be vague and respond occasionally, when I remember to? Is it considered rude to do that? Is it ok to have a conversation, or several conversations, sort of chugging along in the background?

The simple answer is it all depends on the level that you know the person involved and how serious the conversation is. If you're just BS'ing about nothing it's one thing but if you're in a serious conversation about something important where you're both responding immediately to each other to just stop is rude IMO. Common sense.

Yeah, I've been with Trillian for ages... back when the Pokemon thing was ending is when they started - ceruleanstudios.com (one of their domains) came from the name of a city in that game actually.

A fascinating piece of history

If it's some hot girl, I'll say BRB.

If it's someone I don't give a fvck about I'll just ALT+TAB back into my game. I remember this hot girl I used to talk to... I would alt tab every round that I died in CS to respond to IMs.
