Same old questions

[TheTickleMonster]

Don't let mindmindmind hear you say that. I'd never hear the end of it.

what? that you're smart, you are, atleast you seem smart to me.

He likes to tease me, and you've just given him the ammunition for over a month there. Ah well, I enjoy it.

I don't go in the chatroom very often, but what questions would you like to be asked in the chatroom? Why do you guys go in the chatroom? The times I have been in the chatroom, it has eithier been dead or people are engaging in cyber tickling.

This is something I always wonder about when people pick apart everyone else in a chatroom. There are some people who get irked when people ask the A/S/L question (which is a little redundant, but not the worst thing anyone could do, IMO). There are others who get irked when people ask them where they are from, or what they do for a living, or how old they are, etc. I'm always left thinking: "Okay, so what do you WANT me to say?"

I rarely go to chatrooms anymore, but when I do, I usually start (or attempt to start) a conversation with verbals such as:

Hi.

How are you?

How was your day?

How is your day going?

So, where are you from?

What do you do?

These may be redundant, but they are pretty much standard conversation starters. I mean, if I were to meet you (collective you...not aimed at anyone one person) in real life, I would probably kick off a conversation with similiar greetings...unless there were other circumstances I could mention. Then again, maybe I'm just a conversationally dull person.

You see, I like those conversation starters, it leaves an opening for a normal conversation, without me thinking 'ok, this person just wants to cyber don't they'

Try this; the next time you're in the chatroom, make a shining example of the first person who asks you a stupid question. For example, let's say Tickler1998 asks you if your feet are ticklish (which I'm assuming, and probably quite safely too, is one of the 5 questions you're referring to). Most people would sigh and simply answer the question; instead of doing that you explode at him. When I say explode I mean really, really tear into him, unload on him for all you're worth in a very public fashion until people start getting the message that you're sick of being asked the same 5 questions by every person you talk to.

Either that, or just don't go into the chatroom. It's mostly crap anyway, too much roleplaying and desperation for my liking.

desperation? in the chatroom??

 

[Anna6-9]

I get sick of people that ask questions that are on my profile. I have a handful of friends that I stick with because I am getting tired of the same old questions.

 

[totally_evil]

Glad to hear I'm still not the only one, though it's sad that it got so bad that I felt the need to write this thread.

 

[P[a]pi]

If you are getting asked too many questions, then start asking questions of your own. That will increase the chance of a conversation occurring and just slow their questioning down.

 

[ChosenofMystra]

As others have said, this is one reason why I refuse to go into the chat room anymore. Too many desperate losers that have all the social grace of a wombat buggering a knothole.

I've found the best way to keep the cretins at bay is to just be brutally direct with them. When they start that " r u tlklsh @ whre??????" or "press 69 2 cybr lawz lawz lawz1!1!1!" line of crap, call them on it. Flat out tell them that you refuse to communicate with anyone who aparently hasn't evolved beyond the horny 14 year old lines of conversation. It may be mean, but it gets the job done nicely.
