My ten least favorite online interactions
- by Pixel
- When someone comments something that I find offensive, but don’t want to have a public (or worse- via e-mail) confrontation with them about it.
- Accidentally replying ‘to all’ in an e-mail
- Replying to the sender about something that concerns the group, then having someone reply to all immediately afterward: making you feel like a secretive fuck.
- When someone you don’t know– but probably should– adds you as a friend on a social media Web site. Also, when someone you don’t care for adds you as an online friend.
- Accidentally automatically updating your status in a way you didn’t intend.
- People who obviously pay way more attention to whatever you do online than you them.
- E-mailing people in their official capacity. (Do I sign ‘cheers’? Do I address him by his first name?)
- Instant messages from people when you just barely logged on and can’t talk.
- Instant messages from people you don’t want to talk to.
- Finding messages or e-mails long after you were intended to act on them.
