So annoying

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else get annoyed when people send u email or PMs asking you questions but yet they don't answer yours when you ask them questions?


I get so annoyed when people do this to me. Right now a lady is doing this to me in a email so I decided I was done taking to her and start ignoring her now. It's not fair and I think she is using me as a guinea pig.

I get annoyed in general when people don't reply to my emails. So rude...

Yep. How selfish!

Yes, if i've been waiting for such a long time, then yes it will really annoy me

I'm still trying to get through to an old friend of mine after this long argument we had, I still been waiting for it since 2 years and its been getting on my very last nerves.... Eventually i had to mark every emails from him as junk incase he does start sending me messages.

The argument was so outragous that I felt I was going to breakdown... sooo not cool.

Nope, hasn't happened to me as far as I know, but that is really mean.

I had a mini meltdown so I blocked her on Yahoo Answers and removed her as a contact and deleted her emails and posted at zomgaspies about her in her thread she started saying she wants to chat.


I just think it's rude to ask people questions but not answer their questions. Makes me want to lose trust in people. But then I would never have any new online friends.

I email several people like that, I just really hate when they don't reply back!! I always feel like I have to say somethng actually WORTH repling to, or else they won't respond.

And another thing I think is rude is when people send you a PM but then don't read your reply when you send them it.


I am guilty of not sending a reply to people when they PM me because I don't know what to say and then I feel it's too late to reply because it's been over a week and I'm afraid it look skeptical if I finally send a reply. But if they asked me a question, then it's easy to reply.

So I don't have a problem with not getting a reply from someone when I send them something and I never asked a question in it. I just figure they had nothing to say.

Yes. Though it is sometimes difficult in an email / pm conversation to know when is a good time to stop! Whether you need to reply to a reply acknowledging it, for instance, or just stop at:

Alice: "Hi Bob, do you like spam?"
Bob: "Yes."

instead of

Alice: "Hi Bob, do you like spam?"
Bob: "Yes."
Alice: "Ok, thanks!"

My current foray in the world of online dating seems to involve a lot of this, there seem to be an awful lot of people who actively invite conversation and then don't bother to reply. Either they're rude or I appear truly repellent!

On msn it's the samething.... People talk to me still when I'm away and they start nudging me..... When I end up coming back after a couple of nudges, they don't simply answer which that just annoys me.... I wish they don't have a nudge button...

Don't you ever tell them you be right back or you have to go or do you even log out when you have to leave?
Don't you leave your away messages?
After a while your messenger puts up the away message when you haven't touched the computer for so long. I belive you can go to settings and select how many minutes after you left your computer for it to show the away message on it's own. I think msn does this too.

I get annoyed when I ask people to reply and they don't. I wish people would explain themselves, at least. If they, all of a sudden, block me somewhere and don't give me a reason, I get very frustrated and can't stop thinking about it for months. I hate loose ends; everything has to be resolute for me. I need to be completely aware of everything that goes on around me, otherwise I become very insecure.

I myself have issues replying to people's PMs. Sometimes, if someone sends me a PM and I look at it and think, I am probably going to write a very long essay in reply to this that will take a lot of my time. I sometimes can end up replying to them one or two months later. It might cause some doubt in people, they might think that I'm ignoring them, but yeah, that's the only reason. It's like me procrastinating with schoolwork; I think that it's going to be too much for me to do, so I put it aside for a while.

I sometimes might oversee someone's question, too. That's not because I'm ignoring it, but because of a lack of an attention span for a body of text. I often have to re-read the message several times in order to get the full meaning, and might reply in a hurry.

Online communication one-on-one is frustrating for me. I need to meet the person in real life first in order to figure out how I should talk to them. I need this visual conception of the person so that I could formulate appropriate responses to what they say. It might also be the fact that I'm extroverted; except for my special interest, I have a low tolerance for introverted activities.

I've never really had this happen to me, but I can imagine it is really annoying, it's quite rude actually. In this case, I would send them another email politely reminding them (in case there are any extenuating circumstances) they have not yet responded to my question.

Well she must have saw my message about her at zomg and now we are talking like normal. I apologized for my behavior.

...or in regular mail, for that matter.

Yes, it's annoying. I have one pen pal right now who hardly ever answers my questions, but she asks me lots of them. In addition she lives in another country and she wanted me to send her something Norwegian, and in return she'd send me something Scottish. She didn't keep her end of the deal, yet she still wants more from me. Yeah, right! I don't even know why I bother answering her letters...
