Peeve....
Just having a whinge, but i wonder if this irritates anyone else:
When i go to the chatrooms, i actually want to CHAT.
A peeve of mine is when people lob in and say absolutely nothing, and then say "well this is boring, i think i'll leave"
WTF is with that? If you are bored, then try to start a conversation... pretty simple, right? It is a CHAT room after all.
Everyone is friendly, so just type something - if you dont get a response, type it again... people might have simply missed your comment.
The more people chatting then the more entertaining it is for everyone, so please, get involved instead of expecting..... whatever it is you're expecting...LOL, coz its got me stuffed - its a chat room, i expect to chat.
*shrugs*
While i'm here i may as well add a laugh.... have you seen my BIG DECK?

-Firstly, I agree! Shits me as people haven't joined in and make a decision. Hey the content of the conversation may not suit them at that time but they could try to start another train of thought. And do we need to be told we are boring??? They can keep that opinion to themselves!! Or I could deposit it somewhere for them! LOL.
BIG DECK - Absolute crack up - got strnage looks in the office laughing at it.

-It is really annoying especially when everyone makes the point of greeting members as they enter the room and you get no response at all. I especially am getting a little pissed at the people who dont chat in the chat room but expect you to go to a private chat with them. If you come into the chat room and the topic of conversation is not what you are interested in - usually doesnt take much to get most people talking dirty if thats what your after. lol. BTW most people are not out to judge anyone so just jump in and start talking.

Nux I agree with what u say especially the people who say the chat is boring..............thats rude and if they in the room and feel that way they should try make it fun then.
However being new awhile ago I also understand how hard it is to join the room where there are some very strong personalities and some already strong friendships formed so sometimes its better to observe and join in slowly. What I found that helped me when i was a newy was one or two people kindly whispering welcoming and encouraging words to stay in the room and join in as well as introduce me to a few people. Being around a few weeks now I can see the quieter, new people and I do this for them now and they seem to appreciate it as much as I did. Its so much better to be the non newy as u know more people what they like and you become more confident to have your say without upsetting anyone. When you are new you want to fit in so you remain more silent.
But if the silent ones then comment that the chat is boring that I agree is wrong and judgemental.
