Rant!- The Purging of Wasup Conversations!

[MxNecromancer]

Everyone uses aim right? whats the Number 1 thing people say when they start a conversation? here i'll give you a pretty obvious example:


Shmuck1: Hey!
Shmuck1: wasup?
Shmuck2: Not much? you?

95% of conversations End right there! whats the use of wasting your time writing that?! heck people should more complex replys then that for example

Shmuck1: Hey!
Shmuck1: wasup?
SmarterShmuck1: Wasting my time typing not much!, how bout you?

See! doesn't that seem a bit more complex? or better yet!

SmarterShmuck1: Hey!
SmarterShmuck1: wasup?
SmarterShmuck2: Too busy Watching this Stupid Online Video Clip to give a Rats arse in typing up a decent reply, how bout you?


Now you see there are 1000's of ways to continue a conversation. but for crying out loud enough with "NM" already!

don't even get me started on Rolling on the floor laughing...

[mdipi]

LMAO!

jk. So true though - i always talk to my friends about how annoying this is, in fact, a conversation like that usually leads to a phone call where they cant jsut stop talking to me :D

rofl

[Maxtr0sity]

Amen, I try to think of something clever to respond to 'wats up', but never comes to mind when it's asked, so a retarded 'nm' is replied. Anyone have a better idea?

[mdipi]

Instead of whats up be like -

What are you doing?
Hows it going?
What are you listening to?

converstaition starters...Whats up? really wont ever go anywhere

[DariusMonsef]

I usually save a few keys and just say:

sup

[Maxtr0sity]

Dipi, the first two is pretty redundent, but I like the last one. :)

[nobody]

You guys are horrible at this.
This is how it goes.

One: What's shakin' bacon?
Two: Nothin Muffin, What's cookin' Good lookin?
One: [conversation]

[TheOneAndOnly]

since we all know that when someone says "whats up" there is always LOTS of things up, so all you have to do is say tmts, which means too much to say. It's much better than nm...


toot.

[tucker]

er, id tell you whats up, but im afraid i would be rather embarassed.

:D

yeah, i have just experienced the return of the "sup" last time i heard it was like....... 3 years ago. its evil.

nm
n2m
n2mjc
just chillin

shoot.me.please

but all of my logs, the person goes away, signs off, on, idle, returns 9302842304 times. im not too fond of away messages. >.<

I'm wondering, I never entirely understood the idea of online chatting. It's good, it's instant, it's helpful when you need something urgently. But when you don't, you don't just.. "chat" to someone unless you are hilariously bored. I mean, you are on a computer, you can do mannny things on the Internet. Chatting is.. fun, I guess. It's not as informative or funny as things you can find on Google. Unless you are trying to chat for the sake of chatting, I don't see a point saying "Hi" at all. ;)

[GreenLantern]

Well I don't chat with anyone that I don't know in "real" life (except the occasional Coppertop). So chances are the person I am talking to, I know really well. I usually start a conversation with something weird.

Examples:
Hey you're ugly.
Jesus called, he said he hates you.
Who's dressing up like the woman tonight?
(catchy movie quote)
(catchy song lyric)

[eyezberg]

just say



WAZAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa..

[hificopymaster]

Bahaha.. I used to have the worst ICQ conversations back in eighth grade when I had no life... They usually went something like this:

1: hey
2: hello
1: so what's up?
2: nothing much... you?
1: same
2: k
1: yup
2: mmhmm
1: k
2: so what are you up to?
1: just sitting around
2: yeah.. i'm bored
1: me too
2: we should do something
1: yup
2: mmhmm
1: ok
(and so on)

Maybe it's a better idea to start with somthing else then Wasup? like maybe:


SlightlySmarterbutstillstupidshmuck: I'm gonna Stick my head in the oven!

perhaps the problem is you have no conversational skills.
