Amen.
My favorite thing is when I send friendly messages to certain people for days on end, they go unanswered, and finally they pop up all friendly to say hi and it turns out they aren't saying hi(!) they just need something.
The other AIM type I love is the ones that want to talk incessantly about their lives like they are so interesting. Sometimes they are, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it just comes across as being in love with oneself. I particularly get annoyed at the 'happy happy happy happy' stuff cause it comes off so dishonest. I don't mind hearing about other people's lives, but I don't want to listen to their problems day after day and then low and behold when I want to talk about me (which granted isn't often), they have NO TIME. I hate this. Because it feels so one-sided and like I've been totally used. Truth be told I can't even really look at those people much, even if its just their words on a screen, after that. I realize everyone's lives revolve around themselves, but with some people its REALLY REALLY REVOLVING ONLY AROUND THEM.
This IRKS me beyond measure.
