Proper YM manners YOU ought to know

1. Never add people whom you don’t have any intentions to talk with. DUH. It’s a waste of time, a waste of space, and a waste of memory for the Yahoo Messenger Application.

2. Stop whining if I haven’t accepted your invitation. Seriously, I don’t add people I don’t know in my YM. What do I know you’re just another lonely Arab looking for someone he can share his webcam fantasies with.

3. Do not PM people about irrelevant things if you see that their status icon is BUSY paired with a message that says THESIS/PROJECT/RESEARCH. Duh. Have some brains, will you?

4. Never start a conversation with a BUZZ especially if you are not friends with the person. By friends, I mean those people whom you have shared your worst moments with, those you can share one straw with, those who have smelled your fart more than five times, those whom you passed paper messages with about the unbearable burden of having a toenail-looking professor, those who know you PERSONALLY and those you consider your GOOD FRIEND. You get the picture. People who start conversations with a buzz are BASTOS. Nag-aral ka ba?

5. Say goodbye properly to someone you are talking with if you plan to log-out. I think this is rather self-explanatory. For goodness sake! You are not Kindergarten pupils!
