Pussycat Catnap Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I can't stand it in SL, or RL when people just use one single word like that and then... nothing... I'm all like... what? get to it? say something? Hello what? Hello who? Hello when? Even a bad line is better than giving me absolutely NOTHING to work with... I'm a TS:DR person... Too Short; Didn't Read... EDIT: Stupid page break. This is my second post and the one before it was the single word... Hello... but it ended up as the last post of the prior page of the thread...

Too Short; Didn't Read... I reply in kind. If someone says "hi", they get a "hi" back, nothing more. They say "how are you?", they get a "fine thanks, how are you?". If a total stranger wants to start a conversation with me, that's fine. It's when that stranger wants me to start the conversation for them that we get into "how about no?" territory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thus figure it is the same idiotic thinking in SL. Edited January 13, 2019 by LittleMe Jewell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get forwarded to me automatically in e-mail, so I open it to find a "Hi!" message sent hours ago by a total stranger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't help that in person I'm a chatter box... if somebody starts a conversation with me they just took a 30-minute break...

All day long it's a couple people sending me "hi" I'm like... what? I tend to let the window sit for a bit, just to see if they'll say anything else. Though I know they won't until I reply with something to let them know that I'm really there. Maybe they just don't want to waste time typing their question to me if I'm not there to immediately respond. Heck, when I IM people at work, I don't even bother with a "Hi" or their name. I just go straight to typing my question or comment to them. Ditto for emails. I get so many that start off with "Hi xxxx,". If I'm starting a new email, then I'll typically type their name at the top of the message, but without the "Hi" part. If I'm responding to an email conversation, I don't even bother typing their name anymore. Apparently, I'm very anti-social. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait... That's already true. The always being broke in SL and RL part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 While I have randomly dropped gifts and L$ on avatars, new and old alike, I pretty much ignore anyone that is 'asking'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skell Dagger Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The avatar(s) that ask that specific question have become a running joke in the Catwa group. They always have names like Jason548 and Kevin289, and they paste the same thing to hundreds of people at a time. The hilarious moment for me came when I was on the Catwa region, helping someone in the store. This guy was outside, and - alongside all the IMs he sent to everyone else in the store - he also sent one to me: Quote [name]872 Resident: hey nice avatar...im new to this game and saved 238 of those linden things from a contest and camping...im trying to get this skin/shape combo for 700...i feel bad for asking but can you please lend me 462 so i can get it?...if not thats fine too...just seems nobody wants to help me outSkell Dagger: Gosh, you are [name]761 as well, pal? You're trying to get money out of a CSR for this place, you dimwit. We treat them like little pets these days. "Aww, look, he's back with another name!

Amina Sopwith Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 462L is £2.60, or USD $3.34. The prat will be spending far more than that on electricity and bandwidth to keep his computer running while he camps and creates alts and messages endlessly for his scattergun pestering campaign. And how many days or weeks will it take him? How much time and energy is he prepared to invest in trying to earn three dollars? What a twonk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can make it up in no time! Pretty please??" Then IM them like 20 or 30 times more begging for their L$ until I get bored or they block me or log off. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClariceRose Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 If someone IMs me and right off the bat they want sex, then sometimes (depends how silly I am feeling) I'll say sure, where shall we go? Then at the last minute I change into an "outfit" of a noob avatar. I play dumb when they start asking me why I changed etc. Heck, beggars can't be choosers, right? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
