The hazards of IM

[klee]

One of the 'guilty' sounds a little familiar...

[jjbrouwer]

There are dream dates...and people you meet on the Internet. At least with the TALK function you can actually find out if you are really conversing with someone of the opposite gender unless 'she' is really a he who has sucked in a lot of helium.

[tbeatty]

Cleo needs a life. OR at least to start living in a world that doesn't revolve solely around her.

SO thats what our comrade had done

[Tennessee_Bob]

Up pops a message from Boy #1 who we will call Bob*.

It wasn't me. I don't know anyone in IM named Cleo. And she's talking about having sex with someone...it's definitely not me. I've got the vow of poverty thing going, the vow of chastity, and I'm working on the obedience thing....heck, I may as well drop school and go into the priesthood (save that I'm not Catholic).

[razorback-bert]

Miss Cleo's cards failed to warn her, she was about to have a bad day?

Actually she is a pal of mine and she has a life. Quite a good one.

I understand the local mosques have a few openings...:-)

If only it was restricted to one day. I am constantly inundated with men from Muslim countries on ICQ raving on. Its a plague...

[longleaf]

Reading this made me glad I'm not a "twentysomething" anymore.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Nah...that's ok. When I say I practice a peaceful religion, I want to be able to back it up by example.

[garbanzo]

So she's basically messing around with the minds and hearts of three guys and she's complains that IM is the problem here?

[jjbrouwer]

Yeah, well that is the guy's way of looking at it!!!

[garbanzo]

Yeah I guess I am a little bitter biased here...

[upchuck]

Glad I'm not a twentysomething any more. Have you folks forgotten how to say no? Or maybe you enjoy it. Else you'd block these folks on your buddy list.

Let's see: her life consists of stringing along three guys using IM, getting mad about it and then writing an internet letter to complain about it. Boy #3 was right but I don't think she gets out enough to find out.

[jjbrouwer]

Perhaps you were one of the losers she dumped hence your attitude.

[tbeatty]

Nope, never met her before. I did see her picture on another thread though, and she is a cutie.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Twenty-somethings at my company were holding sessions like this all day at work.

So we blocked all IM traffic at the firewall. It's one of the more pernicious time-wasters out there.
