Theory Corner - Part Three

I have a new theory, although it's actually an old theory that just rears it's ugly head to annoy me from time to time!

Have you ever had a message window sitting open on your taskbar and you close it because you're no longer talking to that person? Have you deleted someone from MSN or Yahoo Messenger or any other similar messaging service because you never seem to talk to them??

Of course you have, why wouldn't you?! That's not what is the weird, annoying thing that I'm trying to get across in this theory?!

My theory is that if you close a dialogue box that's being unused or if you delete a person from your list that you don't engage in conversation with, all of a sudden that person comes back?! They decide that they want to message you after you decide that it's safe enough to close the box or delete their name?!

It really bothers me!

There have been people on Yahoo messenger that i have deleted because i don't speak with them anymore and as soon as i do that, they seem to pop out of nowhere acting all chummy and as though we speak on a daily basis!!!

It happens with dialogue boxes as well......what happens is a 7 minute lull in the conversation and so you close the box and WHAMBAM, up pops the same dialogue box you just closed?!

It's such a nuisance but in conclusion (coz that's what professional theorists use - a conclusion) my theory is this....

If you want someone to talk to you, DELETE THEM!! If you feel you would like more out of the conversation you are having with someone, close the already-open dialogue box. Leaving it open is a clear indication that there is OBVIOUSLY nothing more to talk about!!!
