Case in point: I had said hello to a friend several times with absolutely no response (still none at 1:38 AM on Thanksgiving). I don't know what the hell the problem is, I know that I didn't do anything wrong, I just wish this "friend" would get it thru his thick skull that not saying hello is one thing I will not tolerate. It's disrespectful and completely uncalled for.
This goes for ALL my friends, if I say hello to you, you had better say SOMETHING (at least) back, otherwise, you run the risk of my doing something that you may not like, you think I joke about this? Try me.
I don't want to be mean, but if people push me into that direction, I am going to start being mean, and you won't like it. I don't deserve to be treated in that sort of fashion, especially when I say hello.
UPDATE: Again, I say hello to this one 'friend' and nothing resembling any response is to be had. Is this normal good-natured human behavior? I would surely think not. If someone was to say hello to you, you either do one of the following FOUR things:
- Say something, like "Hello, I am kinda busy. I could get back to you shortly?"
- Or, actually make a note that you are busy so that people do not get really angry with you
- Or, say that you'd rather not have someone message them anymore, and then that'll be the end of it.
- Or, just not come online.
These things should be on the minds of people who use IM services. Rudeness notwithstanding, I think it's a good idea to actually respond to someone's greeting. I feel (as I said before) that it shows RESPECT [Definition of Respect] to those that say the hello in the first place... and it's also what friends would do for each other.. if it doesn't happen, then it's rather cruel to have to wait for a very long time for a response...even if the one friend hasn't been really talkative...the principle still remains true... When someone says hello, do the only thing that would make that person happy and respond with something.. otherwise the person would feel ignored, and then act accordingly.
This isn't a request, it's actually a demand. I feel that I have perfect right to require my friends to respond to me whenever I send a hello or whatever. I deserve a response. I don't deserve ignorance, because if this continues, I will be the ignorant type and totally remove the 'friend' from ever talking to me. I don't want to do this, but it will come to that.
