tell me sablanians how does it feel when some1 you know passes by and doesn't say hi to you or when some1 signs in msn and doesn't say a thing especially when they're your friends :(

In MSN, I think its ok after all they cant go saying Helloo to everyone in thier list.
In real life, if I know the person really well and I know they dont have ill intentions towards me I would go ahead and say helloo .. If I dont know them well, I might assume they didnt recognize me so I wouldnt go and say helloo because it would be embarrasing if they didnt recognize me.

yeah same thing
on MSN there might be alot of people online at the same time, so i think it alright
in real life though...it would hurt -_-'
I always say hi to people i know if see them

about msn, if you're used to talking daily or you're very good friends, and then one day, they stopped. you would think there might be something wrong. but then, they might be just busy.
i say annoy the hell outta them until they block you :p kiddin'.

in real life: i don't say hi to people i barely know whenever i meet them..might get myself in a really boring talk that i can do without. unless they said hi first of course, then i can't help it.

I honestly lost all interest in msn and don't care who says hi and who doesn't. It's such a waste of energy and time and I'd rather spend my online time doing something better than communicate with people who rarely show any sign of loyalty. My real friends are listed on my phone so those are the people whom I bother to say hi to.

In MSN, I wouldn't give 2 sh*ts about who says hi or who doesn't, but in real life it would be very impolite and rude. The prophet Mohammed :PBUH: told us to great each other (Salam Alaikum) whenever we pass by anyone even if it was a stranger or whenever we enter a place that has people inside.

I've came across a lot of people who just pretend that they haven't seen me, or don't know me, so that they just don't say hi. I don't know what their parents taught them about this.:rolleyes:

I don't care about people not saying hi on MSN. Same goes for offline as well. The people who are close to me and who matter will say hi, everyone else is merely an acquaintance so it doesn't matter to me if they come up or not.

Also, I sometimes pretend I don't see people I know when I am out. This is only the case with people who I know but am not particularly close to. It's nothing personal, either I'm in a hurry, or busy with something/other people and don't want to stop what I'm in the middle of, or sometimes I'm just not bothered to smile and pretend to make small talk with people.

in msn i actually don't talk, i already have a short list of friends in there and i only reply to who ever starts a convo with me, otherwise am surfing the net and reading stuff..


in real life, i say hi to all people i know even if they are away i call their names and wave at least lol .. and if somone saw me and didnt say hi i also don't care i will give him/her the excuse of not noticing or not recognising me, it's not a big deal i mean

In msn, it wouldn't matter to me if people didn't say hi. Offline, if some distant person i hardly knew didn't come up to me to say hi, it wouldn't matter, cuz i would probably not go up to her anyway. If someone i was close to walked passed me without saying hi, then that would be hurtful and i would feel there's something wrong going on.

Feels awkward and disturbing, but I would treat them the same way if they do so :rolleyes:

sometimes u get friends that u know from real life loggin to msn and not sayin hi and that's wut bothers me :yell:
aah well i better not make a big deal out of it
and as for real life ya sometimes i try to give them excuses for not saying hello but it keeps happening i'll treat them the same way ;)

It happens a lot, you just try to be cool and have always the initiative. Remember, you're better than them and have a clear mind and heart. Never get upset, I know it hurts but try :).

I just ignore, never cared about that thing, lol sorry if i did to you queen (^_^;;;;)

Eeeerrr

I have had occasions on which I have neglected to greet people because I was thinking about something and didn't see them and they were hurt and offended.

So if someone doesn't greet me...as happens occasionally...I just figure they didn't see me. And that usually turns out to be the case.

I remember once when I was cut in public by a colleague who didn't return my greeting in a way that made it obvious that he was just refusing to acknowledge me.

I thought it was soooooo funny! I went around with a big smile on my face all day telling people, "So and so cut me. Isn't that hilarious?"

It seems like such a silly thing to do that I couldn't be mad at him for it.

to me not everyone has to talk on msn unless there was something to say. I've friends online, but just cuz me or they don't talk doesn't mean I'm a stranger to them, it could mean the whole opposite. I don't need my friends to keep me company 24/7 nor vice versa... you do that to strangers. You're polite to strangers... you say hi and bye occasionally because that's the custom, that's politeness, that's formal. But close friends are something else. they could be kms away and not talk and they will be as good friends to me today as they were yesterday. My closest friends and I don't always talk even if we were both online. That doesn't mean anything.All it means is that you're comfortable around them whether you talk or not. You're comfortable NOT to have to talk is another way to say it.
If people freak out because of that... then they're not close friends in that sense. They're just formally acquainted.
and if talking on msn is what's required to consider one a friend. That's not my cup of tea.

This is provided your friends are with you. if they're out of the country. depending on how the manner of your friendship is or the situation, it could be another story. But over all, I don't consider not talking on msn a big deal.
