What it is about MSN Messenger that pisses me off
a) Something is wrong when you cannot see the end of a person's sign-in name and personal message within a 1280 x 800 screen b) It must not occur to some that a name like that is painful to read for those who have chat boxes run in a window that is not maximized c) The personal message and sign-in name is not a place to put an endless list of your hobbies and interests - believe it or not, the "about me" feature in Facebook was created with this very purpose in mind; the most difficult part of this feature of course, being the act of listing all 200 interests already present in the sign-in name on facebook. d) Arguably, it is not desirable to share a name with a movie, celebrity, event, etc. e.g.: Star Wars || <<Chewbacca>> || (L)(L) says: Heysssss!" I am Legend says: lawl Mike says: What the FUCK e) Thus a personal message must actually be relevant; either telling people something or notifying people of the owner's status, e.g. Tim - I lost my phone number! :'( :'( :'( :'( SOMEBODY HELP ME WITH MY REVISION! I'M SCREWED FOR REVISION:O:O:O-praying- ...on the other hand, it would be a bad idea to spam people with emoticons, unless and adverse effect of what is desired, implied by the personal message is desired. To this, the fact that personal messages of this nature are generally ignored means that people simply don't care what you are praying for, let alone what the hell it is you like about an arbitrary Japanese movie. Thus, f) If you cannot remember your own sign-in name and personal message, you have missed the point of having one to begin with. Put your email as your sign-in name and thank the lord that people still talk to you on Messenger. Edit:// g) Punctuation scattered randomly and therefore of no practical purpose does NOT make your name look pretty. This includes the overuse of the black heart, stars, square brackets, COLONS, etc. If your name looks like this: || <<<::::::::::::Candy:::::::::::::>>> || [I luv canto celebzzz even tho they kant sing, dance or act] ...you should take art/design lessons immediately. Minimalism owns all, unless complex designs are suitable or desired - e.g. Architecture. The Coliseum in HK should be a sufficient an example demonstrating how bland designs don't (always) work on buildings. h) Don't spell out words on MSN if the short hand version of the word is more difficult than spelling the word out correctly, or if the short hand version is not actually shorter than the original word, e.g. school vs. sk00l, tomorrow vs. 2molo and can't vs. kant - Kant, my dear friends, is a German philosopher. Just because he makes your life miserable in A-level RS doesn't mean you can substitute his surname/make his surname synonymous with pessimism. i) Adding a ridiculous number of Zs or S' at the end of every word makes you sound RETARDED. That the letter Z is underused in the English language does not mean you are doing it a favor by using it more often. If you have a letter Z fetish, audition for Sesame street and introduce the letter with a number of your choice. If you are a guy and have a thing about making everything plural (no names mentioned here), check your local psychologist about your sexual orientation. j) It is a self-evident truth that if a person is not talking to you quickly or at all, asking 'sup?' is the last thing that's going to get them started. In fact, if the word 'sup?' composes over 50% of a conversation, it is no longer a dialogue, but a monologue; if this is the case with your girlfriend/boyfriend, it's time to move on. |
