Oh You Whacky Kids...

    I swear, I have no idea why kids run around putting me on their Buddy Lists.  It's a little weird, and sometimes I just get the strangest instant messages.  Take the following, for instance.  My IM-blocker thingy went "whoop" to let me know a stranger was trying to IM me.  Then, after a bit of time had passed, it began to go "whoop-whoop-whoop-whoopwhoopwhoopwhoop..." until I hit "ignore."  Then, when I decided to confront this pest after they changed their screen name, the real fun begins...

Sender:  Hey, what's ur problem?  I think I can report u

DPoem:  For what? Ignoring you?  You're a special kind of moron, aren't you? 

Sender:  Yes, I am.  lol  I'm special.  But I advise u to keep ur language, as in moron to a minimum because there r little kids right here

DPoem:  Why?  You ARE a moron.  Deal with it. 

Sender:  That was my friend.  U were on my buddy list and she was trying to find out who u were.  And I think YOU are the moron here.  I already told u to NOT say those words.  My daughter is right here.

DPoem:  I don't care.  If your friend wants to send me 100 IMs in a span of less than thirty seconds, I'm going to block the moron.  

Sender:  How old r u anyway?

DPoem:  Teach her some manners. 

Sender:  Ur a big asshole and I don;t think ur very nice.  Seriously, how old r u?

DPoem:  Not hard to learn manners.  And I do not enjoy being harrassed.   

Sender:  U live in the Adirondacks?

Sender:  SHE WASN'T TRYING TO HARASS YOU.  IF YO)U WOULDN'T TAKE EVERYTHING SO PERSONAL IT WOULD BE OKAY.

DPoem:  I didn't invite her nonsense you idiot.   

Sender:  Well, she didn;t know who u were

DPoem:  So if she doesn't know me, why is she IM-ing me?  And, perhaps you should keep better control of your children.

Sender:  You could have just said, "Please stop IMing me."

Sender:  She isn't my child

Sender:  I have one

Sender:  just makiing me kind of mad the way u would handle a situation like thius

DPoem:  Am I supposed to care? 

Sender:  Yes

Sender:  Very much

DPoem:  Why?   

Sender:  because

DPoem:  Tell your friends to leave me alone.   

Sender:  She is just a child and YOU need to leanr manners

DPoem:  Am I supposed to respond to every single person who tries to IM me more than 100 times in thirty seconds? 

Sender:  Well, they will.  it's not like u ever talk anyway

DPoem:  Some people might consider that a clue.

Sender:  No, but u could at least just say please stop IMingm me

Sender:  That could be nicer, says the one who wants other people to get manners

DPoem:  I don't really have time for this pointless conversation. 

Sender:  Yea, okay, that's great.  Don;t call me an idiot

DPoem:  Go smack your friend and stop being such a damn pest. 

Sender: I prolly have more wisdom then u

DPoem:  I doubt that very very much. 

Sender:  Sorry, but I'm not a bitch

DPoem:  Yes you are. 

Sender:  I don;t smack people

Sender:  No

Sender:  I'm not

Sender:  If u would take the chance and getto KNOW someone, mayb they wouldn;t seem as bad as u think they r

DPoem:  Maybe if they wouldn't IM me 100 times in thirty seconds, I wouldn't ignore them. 

Sender:  Oookay, well, if you had told them to STOP they would have

DPoem:  Why should I have to tell them to stop? 

Sender:  You know what, I coudl be mean and think of u as a bad person, but I am nice and know somewhere inside u r prolly a good person.  That I have top pester u?  R we 3 years old again?

Sender:  Well, if it';s such a problem to YOU, then you should tell them to stop?

DPoem:  Why can't I just block the idiots? 

Sender:  Because, you shouldn't assume

Sender:  You r ASSUMING I am an idiot

DPoem:  You're actually broadcasting the fact that you're an idiot.  I'm just agreeing with the display. 

Sender:  haha.;  Ur oh so funny.  But not amusing. 

DPoem:  How long am I required to talk to you? 

Sender:  And I am not an idiot.  You just think I am because u refuse to to get to know me and therefore you think I am an idiot because you don't really know me

DPoem:  I don't want to get to know you.  

Sender:  I don't know.  Technically you r not REQUIRED to talk to me. I was just wondering why you blocked me.  Well, I can see YOU have a social life.  MAKING FRIENDS helps your self esteem level.  You should learn that.  I'll ttyl and we can continue this conversation, mayb get u some manners

DPoem:  There isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'll talk to you again. 

    I know...  I'm mean.  What can I say?  I was grumpy that day.
