RhondaLea 3 #51 March 4, 2006 How quickly do you require them to respond? I have a load of unanswered PM/email/IM type stuff. Most of it is not intentional. If it is intentional, I've made that clear to the sender before I ever got that one last communication. Trust me, if you are unable to send me a PM, it does not mean I want to receive an email or phone call from you. Otherwise, it's just a) I'm overwhelmed or b) I'm depressed. I find it much easier to post than to PM. A PM (in most cases) requires me to put a fair amount of time and thought into a single individual. Often, it is those people I care about the most who have to wait the longest. And sometimes I respond to people I have no interest in just because I'm trying really hard not to be rude. Finally, it has happened that people I fully intended to reply to got buried under a slew of incoming messages, and I didn't even find them again until days later. OTOH, a round of PMs or emails has to come to an end sometime. If it's the 15th exchange on a single subject, do you really want a reply? rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Elisha 1 #52 March 4, 2006 QuoteEmail, PM or Voice mail?? You ask someone a Question and they just don’t respond at all.... Does it bother you?? Drives me Nuts. Huge pet peeve. I know it shouldn’t bother me but how much trouble could it be to respond "No", "No Thanks", "I dont Know" or even "Dont ever contact me again you Freak!!". Actually if I don’t get any response at all.. I usually assume the Last quote is the answer. But then again I am also an Arrogant Bastard that thinks the world should revolve around me! Yeah, me too. It's really rude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladydyver 0 #58 January 21, 2008 I don't take it personally. I randomly send out pm's to people - birthday wishes, if we are going to be showing up at someone's home dz, get better, thanks for sharing info and sometimes I will ask questions....ect. Sometimes people respond, sometimes they don't - just varies. I have to say though I have met some great people that way DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #66 January 22, 2008 It used to drive me absolutely insane c'mon we are talking basic manners here people Lately, however, I have realized it is more a reflection of where they have placed me in their lives. Everyone calls when they need you for something...its those that make contact 'just because' or despite being 'busier than sin' that I want to hear from(and that get the 'special treatment' ). Everyone else, well, use your imagination Life is not fair and there are no guarantees... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auburnguy 0 #67 January 22, 2008 Not getting a response quickly is my absolute biggest peeve. It drives my up the freaking wall when someone does not respond quickly but it really pisses me off when people don't respond at all. I always respond quickly to everything, but thats because my crackberry keeps me plugged in everywhere."If you don't like your job, you don't strike!

Just keep bumping it without saying anything. Badfish Boy got it right. But everyone else missed a once in a lifetime chance at some gold medal ball busting. And how often do you even get that chance with Jello?! Am I gonna have to start teaching a clinic on How To F*ck With Your Friends 101?! Oh, I am SO disappointed in my so-called community!

aprilcat 0 #71 January 22, 2008 But then again I am also an Arrogant Bastard that thinks the world should revolve around me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arrogant Bastard..one of the BEST beers on the planet! I'm still waiting to hear from you about the yahoo mail thing..but I'm not 'bothered' about it. I got 24 hours...hehe.. 'NO REPLY' bothers me for a day or so..then I figure 'whatever'. If its life oir death I would have contacted 'them' by phone or certified mail... People now-a-days have too much to do..WAY too much for the personal touch. I'm not trying to excuse the behavior..I just understand it when I put it in the context that we have too many things at our fingertips that we forget how to do things. Have you tied to write a letter by HAND lately? You'd be surprised at what you lost when you think you were cutting out 5 mins on the computer. To my friends that I don't write everyday..here on this forum (you know who you are... you don't write me every day either) Know that we are okay and I'm busy and so are you..and we'll talk when when have something to say...right? Nobody is trivial..maybe there is no answer for the question (GAWD it took me a long time to get there!) Cheers~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!
