On Chatting Etiquette
Why do people feel that it is okay to Buzz!!! on Yahoo messenger? Nothing is more annoying than people clamoring for your attention. In this case, I was chatting with this woman and wasn’t even doing anything else. During the course of the “conversation”, she buzzed me three times! And it’s not like I was replying late. I was replying as soon as I was getting her message.
Even if I don’t reply instantaneously, there is absolutely no reason to Buzz me. Just because I’m signed into Yahoo! doesn’t mean that she should be the sole recipient of my attention.
I find such behavior to be absolutely annoying and it turns me off completely.
