Annoyance

Don't you feel annoyed when people come to you while you're in the midst of something, and keep beeping you on MSN, even though you've put your status to busy/away? It's probably the equivalent to sitting in the office with a huge closed sign, and people keep knocking the door wanting to talk to you. I wouldn't mind so much if it was something important, like they have something to ask me about or some issue that has turned up like Michael Jackson's death. But then, not only do they disregard the status, but also they try to keep a conversations going, even though you keep trying to get out of it.

My question is, are these people mentally-challenged, linguistically challenged, or just plain boors? I have half a mind to take their CPU and shove it up where the sun doesn't shine to prove my point. There is a reason as to why I have "away" on my status, and there's a reason why I prefer to keep it permanently that way. If it was my mobile, I'd also hang up. So why not MSN. Is free will in communication not sacred anymore?

The next person who tries to beep me on MSN and maintain a conversation while I'm "Away" is going to get my nice little fisty stuffed down his/her throat. =.="
