Boring pm's

[shrek100]

Why do people send private messages when they are so bloody boring?

That is all

 

[yossi]

Because I wanted your attention, okay?!

And my dog's teeth cleaning habits are not boring.

 

[lovetoread]

i find the details of your dogs teeth cleansing habits very interesting.

 

[pointless]

i prefer the boring ones to the catty, bitchy ones, but i'm weird like that.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I would have replied, but your fucking inbox is full.


Of what, I shall not ask.

We're trying a coconut oil regimen and so far, so good. Healthy gums!

I don't get catty PMs.

 

[pointless]

i don't either anymore. i'm okay with that.

Dog gums, mostly.

There is nothing hotter than a pm from Yossi about her dog's oral hygiene. I feel bad for those who have never received one.

 

[yossi]

Sometimes her mustache gets in the way, but we deal the best we can.

 

[shrek100]

Yossi - intriguing

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Dog gums, mostly.

Right.


So off is the direction in which I shall sod . . . .

Just bring people trying to get off. But with no imagination

 

[yossi]

Right.

I cleaned it up! Really, it should work now.

 

[lovetoread]

if one is trying to get off via pm, then that is just pathetic

 

[pointless]

if one is trying to get off via pm, then that is just pathetic

also, next to impossible.

Coitus extremely interruptus, I would think.

 

[yourwhitewife]

boring as ever

 

[juttjaw]

Punks. My pm receivers are held captive... Not false imprisonment captive but riveted by my with and charm captive.

I think...

I can't recall a boring pm. Anyone who has taken the time to write to me, always has something of interest.

It may be strange, perverted, and sometimes a little insulting, but always interesting.

If I were to get a boring pm, I wouldn't bore others with it.

Years ago, a prominent, interesting poaster sent me a flattering pm. It was a nice compliment about something that I had written and I intended basically to just say thank you so much for the compliment.

Instead, I tried to be clever and pithy (pithy is not my strength) and I said something like, "What could I possibly add to this exchange?" Not exactly that, but that was the meaning received. It was a couple of years before we exchanged PMs again. We each assumed that the other did not find the us interesting.

If you were trying to be clever and pithy, your response was as inept as saying, "Well, bless your little heart."

That was indeed how it came across. Whatever it was I actually said was something arguably less banal.

ETA: No, it was probably more banal.

I remembered who and that it was a compliment but I didn't remember what the compliment was.

Having gone back and reread it is somewhat disheartening because the poster she describes there, I don't think is the poster I am now.

Because they aren't sure what to say to open up a conversation?
Because they are socially awkward?

Don't they all end up in the 'Dead PM Office', right next door to the 'I didn't answer your PM because....' thread.

I go braindead during IM. I always feel like I must respond no matter what. And sometimes, I just don't have a quick response on hand.
