Some how, mostly internet has narrowed down to one thing and one thing alone : Chatting. Its addictive, relaxing, informative (if gossiping is your forte) and fun, so I heard. Personally I've never been a fan of chatting. Its lethargic, methodical and in various small and frequent doses, awkward.
I always wished there was this written down 'Code of Conduct' for chatting and since I didn't want one from someone else, here is my version of it.
Enjoy

Finally, in a slightly unrelated note, never send a private message like 'please add me' NEVER.

- Don't start with 'wassup'. Seriously, its so irritating. 'wassup?? wassup??' You wanna know what is up? ITS THE CEILING. Just raise your head and check it.!
- If someone starts with 'wassup' please don't say ceiling, its just rude.
- Don't use capital letter, WHEN YOU USE CAPS IT MAKES THE READER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING, unless you are shouting, then you're good to go.
- Wanna kill a chat? Just walk away, don't reply 'hmm' to every question. Its makes the other person wanna kill you.
- Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you have to wait for the guy to pop first. Its a l'il lame.
- Excess use of smiley is weird (trust me). Then again, plain words won't help expressing your tone correctly (mostly with being sarcastic).
- Don't get way too personal way too quick. Asking about the relationship status in the first convo is avoidable, so may be you'd wanna avoid it. Especially if you're talking to a person of opposite sex (which, lets face it, is always the case).
- Flirting is not banned. But make sure you've reached that comfort level first. Otherwise its just desperate and sad :p
- Its gonna sound totally unlikely me, but yes, small talks can do wonders.
- Again, if the person's trying for small talks, reciprocate.
- And ya, its 'lol' not lolzzz or lolllll and its definitely not lollaa.
- If you are a person like me, who'd tend to get knocked down when people try to be nice and friendly through chatting, just stay offline. It sure helps.
Super awesome!! Especially the 'lolla' thing. Back with a bang eh?? :-D
ReplyDeletethat 'lolla' really bugs me.!
ReplyDeleteVery candidly put.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see 'lol' on a chat screen, I wonder if the person on the other end is really 'laughing-out-loud' (not always the case)!
thanks for your good advice. It will surely help us.
