laughter. - the rules of conversation - the rules of correction - the rules of dots - the rules of words for the belated responser - the rules of warning |
Rule 1 - NEVER USE THE CAPS LOCK! IT
IS THE MOST ANNOYING WAY OF TYPING EVER! SO, FIRST RULE: NO CAPS! (ex:
HI AMIT! WHATS UP?) Rule 2 - If you IM someone, please try to have a conversation with them. Refrain from doing the following: yabuddy:hey amram71:hey yabuddy:what's up amram71:nm u yabuddy:same or else it'll turn out something like this in the not-so-distant-at-all future: yabuddy:hey amram71:why do you IM me when you know we aren't gonna have a conversation yabuddy:i dunno go climb a tree or something if you're that bored.. Rule 3 - Refrain from the following: annoyingbuddy:yA aMiT WwWwHuTt iZ UPPPppppPPPP!! amram71: good... i won't even ask you about yourself cuz chances are i have no idea what the heck you asked me.. Rule 4 - Refrain: huhbuddy:I can't w8 4 when we go 2 the moo v's 4 my d8 2nite! amram71:47324 + 1 = 43525 Rule 5 - No more than 32 messages when i am away. if i'm away, it means.. i'm not there, and i won't talk to you. so stop thinking i will. actually, 90% of the time i'm just bored outta my mind that i'm still there and if you IM me, i'll come back. so screw this rule. Rule 6 - If you IM me once, and I don't answer, try again. If i don't answer, try 1 more time.. if still no answer, give up. I either don't wanna talk, or i'm not there. example: whereareyoubuddy:hi whereareyoubuddy:hey!?? whereareyoubuddy:are you there? **obviously not** whereareyoubuddy:talk to me! **if i'm not there.. how can i talk to you** Rule 7 - Don't.. Please don't.. do this: amram71:anyways.. shutupbuddy:ya shutupbuddy:ya shutupbuddy:ya amram71:ok shutupbuddy:alright shutupbuddy:ok shutupbuddy:ok shutupbuddy:ok amram71 logged off, aka, shutupbuddy blocked. Rule 8 - please don't spell stuff wrong on purpose to be kewl. it makes you look unkewl. example: kewlbuddy:i am kewl. how was skewl. i'm gonna go to a konsert i bet even the KKK does it.. kkkbuddy:i am so kewl. i am the cay cay cay!!! you aren't kewl, kkkbuddy. you are stoopid! |
