Here is something that has been bothering me for a while. Actually it's been pissing me off and driving me nuts and please hear me out on this. Whenever I sign into Windows Live Messenger it means that I am on my computer, one hand over the mouse and the other in standby over my keyboard. So, in other word, I am there. I am ONLINE. I am NOT away or busy. Why? Cause I just signed in. How could it possibly be that I am away or doing anything else?

It absolutely makes no sense to change my status IMMEDIATELY to 'Away' when I first sign in or even during the first couple of minutes after I signed in. So why on earth do people on my contact list immediately sign in with an 'Away' status? Didn't they just click on the sign in button just a second ago? It just makes no sense!

This dilemma seems to be quite common with some of my contacts and I have to admit that it pisses me off. They either don't get it or are just, quite frankly, plain and simply retarded!

I just can't imagine that those people don't understand what being 'Away' means. I never change my status to 'Away' unless, obviously, I am actually away from my computer. And if I was to be away as soon as I sign in, then why sign into Messenger in the first place?

What's even worse and heck a lot more retarded is the fact that those people sign in, change their status to 'Away' and continue chatting. For god's sake please tell me what's going through that ill sick and retarded head of yours! Am I just making a big deal out of this or are there more sane people out there with a similar story?

Get your Windows Live Messenger status right guys! For the love of god, have some internet ethics.
