No, i'm not talking about the novel or the movie. It's about one of my worst 'turn-offs' - something i have noticed with a few people on the chat forums. These are people who hide behind the smoke curtains (invisible mode) and strike you when you least expect. It just gets on my nerves whenever that happens.
I'm still to find a good reason why people go into invisible mode in messengers. If you are busy at work - go offline and if you don't want to chat with someone - just knock them off the list, right?. I may never know if you are hiding from me, (eventhough there are free applications that let you spot people through their smoke screens) so that's not the bad part. What puts me off completely is when people remain invisible and start a conversation with me.
I feel its just plain rude to be invisible and start a chat. The decent thing to do is to come out of your hiding and then strike a conversation. I dont know what makes people think that they are too busy or too elite that they will decide if and when I can chat with them.
Imagine if everyone did the same thing, the Yahoo!s may have to shut their messengers off!
And don't even get me started on the 'bcc' thing.
