_Kirsty_ Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 What is it with these things?! I seem to get loads of pm's from random people saying they are bored, asking if im bored, asking if im at work, asking what iv been up to etc, asking how i am... STOP IT! I dont mind PM's from people who know me, might know me, or in response to any of my posts... but its highly annoying when people random select your name and pm you! Fair enough, they might just be being friendly and wanting to chat... but its sooo annoying when you get a pm thats basically a load of questions about yourself, from someone you dont know. Call me old fashioned but i think it is quite rude.
Agent Orange Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Oh, I never get that joy so I dont what it is like I can imagine it is nice to start with, but if they are often then I can see how that might begin to annoy you. You are obviously a popular girl, Kirsty

You are obviously a popular girl, Kirsty I used to reply to some... just to be friendly, but yes it does get really frustrating after a bit!
*Wallace* Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Nope i've not had those either maybe i come across as a boring old f**t

A lower profile might help.

A lower profile might help. It also shows im stood next to a bloke, which would also give the impression that im not single... and not interested.
LitleMermaid Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Kirsty I've had a few PMs like this a while back, not had one for ages now though, maybe I'm loosing my touch:D Why do they need to know stuff about me? Why does it matter to them if I'm bored??! You shouldn't have to change your avatar just to stop geting hassled, if that is the reason!!

Why does it matter to them if I'm bored??! You shouldn't have to change your avatar just to stop geting hassled, if that is the reason!! I know- its quite rude to just randomly pm someone and start asking questions ... 'are you at work'... 'what have you been up to?'... they might just be being friendly, but it, to me is rude! Like i say with my avatar... yeah I am wearing a nurses outfit, but the bloke at the side of me in the picture is my boyfriend!
PennyHT Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I have met some pretty nice people who have PM'd me, if they were annoying me I would just block them. I have to say I wouldnt give out personal information to them, but I dont mind as long as they are not a bit weird, and as you say asking questions. Yes they should see that you are with a man in your avatar, but im stood next to a 70 year old woman in mine.
Agent Orange Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Kirsty... reply and tell them you are in fact the bloke in the picture and you like being called Kirsty. See what happens then, or maybe not... there are some strange people out there :D
