6. LOL!
I only instant message one person and he's usually up for a conversation. Never seems to be peeved about me wanting to talk to him.

4. Sometimes I just sing a refrain
from a song from the musical 1776 to vent...

John Adams is alone in Independence Hall and sings:

"Is anybody there...
Does anybody care...
Can (?) anybody see, what I see?"

Doesn't help much - except to realize how common the experience is (and frustrating)...

for clarification
I do that outloud - not via the key board - as noone would get the obscure reference... and might even avoid responding to me more intentionally

5. That may not be rude but I'm pretty sure my reply to them would be.
