Why people pm you when they have you on MSN?!?!?!?

I hate email and pms and phone calls.

why can't people just hit you up on msn when they are on it and you are both online.

What if some people are on lunch break and are bored?

Maybe their MSN is on at Home and they're online somewhere else?

If they aren't on msn - I can understand.....

But of all the pms I have gotten today, everyone of them are on my msn list, and they have all been online.

And if they are bugging me this week, of all weeks cause they are bored. they are going to feel my wraith.

i'm never on msn anymore. it's PM's or email for me.

And see, you I can understand - I never see you online.

But these people seem to be online all the time.

i dunno, if i was busy i'd rather get pm's than an msn message. you can answer the pm whenever you like, while an msn message is kind of asking for an immediate response.

I can see your logic.

But I tend to forget about the pm, and don't answer it.

Exactly why I sent you a PM, less invasive, get to it when you can.

i was going to say the samething.

perhaps they think that they are doing you a favor by sending you an email or pm, if they message you on msn they need to sit around waiting for an answer, or not log off just in case you donut answer right away.

with email of pm you are free to answer at your liesure :0)

if i need some info from a person i would rather email or pm rather than im, more of a chance of missing an im back and then having to bother the person again.

I tell them I am working so they understand that I might not reply as fast as they would like me to.

:P

what are you thoughts on people PMing you to get on msn so they can chatt? =)

I have to say, one of my main beefs with msn got fixed in live messenger... the whole no-offline-messages thing... made me apprehensive to send people messages because it would mean that they may not respond in a way that I could get it... and I never check the e-mail address in my MSN so if they sent it to me there, I'd not see it for like 3 or 4 weeks.

And sometimes I just prefer using e-mail. Especially if it's a long message.
