Annoying MSN friends (i.e Grandpa)

Ben  said about 5 years ago  or at  1:09PM on Friday, September 1 2006 in chat

You know you cant delete them 'cos their important people in your life, but who else fears connecting to MSN because they'll badger you with their conversation?

At the moment Grandpa isnt being too bad. We're chatting about the Bendigo water crisis, my brother being in Japan, and my teaching rounds...

...it'll soon turn to religion..

i can't understand anything they say

actually sister's kid is pretty good, but he's very needy

cherish communication with your grandpa while he's still around. If he ets a bit boring, just set it to 'away' or say you're going to get some lunch/dinner/whatever. Too easy.

My grandparents don't even know how a computer works, so I don't have this problem haha.


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

of course you can, if you don't feel like talking to him

wow, imagine having gran'pa on msn

mind boggles


blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

easiers solutions than blocking


anonymous  said about 5 years ago:

Wonky  said about 5 years ago:

I have the same problem with my nanna. I made the mistake of setting her up on MSN a couple of years ago. EVERY time I logged on she was online.

HALLO PAUL HOW ARE YOU TODAY? THE WEATHER IS NICE WE HAD FISH AND CHIPS FOR LUNCH YOUR GRANDFATHER IS YELLING AT THE FOOTBALL I HOPE YOU ARE KEEPING WARM!

I wound up switching to googletalk, but now she's on that too so I just have to leave myself in NOT AVAILABLE mode all the time.

I can't block Nanna :(

aw, this is really cute. i wish my pop knew how to use a computer. i miss him and he's on his last legs we reckon.


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

I'd forgoteen about MSN, haven't even opened it for months.


*rachel*  said about 5 years ago:

yeap block them. i've block half of my old friend and the people who jump on me as soon as i log in.


Ubu  said about 5 years ago:

Yer grandpa is alive, 'tis a good thing. I'd give anything to chat with Sven Lindblom again. He was a fucken legend.


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

BLOCK THEM!!!!!

I am very slack with my grandparents. I really should write the old duck a letter. She likes letters, and she's the last granny I have.


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

But, yeah, I miss both my grandfathers. Both amazing people in their own ways. I would love to have a convo with either of them again. Last chance I had was in a dream, but I freaked out cos I knew he was dead and I woke up. I wonder what he was gonna say...


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

msn doesn't work on my computer at home, i'm out of the habit unless someone pms me and yells at me to go on


*rachel*  said about 5 years ago:

never block relatives. you'll regret not talking to them once they are gone. trust me


runaredlight!  said about 5 years ago:

your grandpa has MSN? my grandparents think my computer is just a lcd screen with some sort of crazy dvd player.

ahhh man!! now he's telling me about "Intelegent Design"

Sounds like grandpa needs a lesson on the Flying Spaghetti Monster


Temet  said about 5 years ago:

Isn't it fun when randoms who can't produce a shred of evidence that they know you aside from "we have a mutual friend who'd rather not be named" add you to MSN, and three lines in try and start a webcam conversation?


Amy  said about 5 years ago:

doing a mass culling of the msn list is always fun, i got rid of a stack of morons tonight.

Nikki is inviting you to start viewing webcam. Do you want to accept (Alt+C) or decline (Alt+D) the invitation?

You have declined the invitation to start viewing webcam.

gathering storm  said about 5 years ago:

haha i blocked my own sister. I am ruthless when it comes to online chatting. JUST RUTHLESS!

who wants to add me and chat on msn, it'll be fun haha.


Amy  said about 5 years ago:

my 2 younger sisters are constantly blocked on my list. their emo-esque screen names are enough for instant blocking before they even begin to type the drivel of why they hate each other this week.


dork  said about 5 years ago:

Ben Butcher - he's always drunk!

just kidding.

I can't stand this stupid meat head who wont leave me alone cause he reckons we went on a date once and we totally didn't. he's retarded. I picked a huge argument with him and made him look like a racist so i didn't have to talk to him anymore. More fun than just blocking him.


no. 1 REBA fan  said about 5 years ago:

I'm scared of blocking frieds incase they find out. Like they might go is "reba" online, to another friend and then that friend will say yes, and then they will damn, he blocked me.

friends*


Punch  said about 5 years ago:

Punch  said about 5 years ago:

you think you have problems


deadlakes  said about 5 years ago:

i have many upon many. i just wanna say fuck the hell off, and it always happens to be late at night when i want to go to bed when they decide to voice their problems and my saying "i'm going to bed" will warrant "ur a fkn bitch" comments.
ARGH


Ben  said about 5 years ago:

dork has blocked me :(


*Tardo-El-Eggo*  said about 5 years ago:

Grampa always blocks me until I start emailing the bible basher, don't feel to guilty


Punch  said about 5 years ago:

littlerach, have you blocked me? you're never on there, man


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

it doesn't work anymore! so i took it off and i can only use the web thing which makes everything run really slow. i haven't gotten around to reloading it as it takes a thousand years to download

i haven't logged into msn in months

i would never block you, Punch

imaginarylion  said about 5 years ago:

I have some cousins that spell really strangely... and my friend's wife.. and a dude from my old work who was getting really creepy... I don't feel bad about blocking them at all!


socks  said about 4 years ago:

A friend of mine appears fairly regularly on MSN, and while her status continually changes, she is very rarely actually there. It's so annoying! I think she still has it set to automatically sign-in on her mother's computer, but also she ignores it on her own, or ignores messages from other people if she's talking to her boyfriend. As it's been a little hard to catch up with her lately anyway, it's very frustrating sending hello messages into the void!


socks  said about 4 years ago:

This is annoying me so much that I think I'll have to block this person.
