And you're never sure whether you said something wrong or if you somehow offended them or made yourself look like a doofus or...

There must be like ten Awkward Penguin macros for this.

I know that feel, though I don't really use such programs much anymore these days.

When it happens to me on Skype, i'm like "WHAT!! TELL MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

Evergreen · 2012-07-19 23:37:54

Yeah, exactly. A lot of what I say in Skype: "You were typing something?"

I tend to be the person on the other end because I like to check things and reword things a few times.

I might have prompted this.

Even worse is when the program doesn't say when they've stopped typing, so it looks like they took 10 minutes to type "XD"

This happens to me quite a bit when I'm chatting with someone on Facebook.

Sometimes if it takes me a while to compose a response, i actually go and compose it in notepad instead before posting it whole--or, posting most of it and taking some time to write out the rest of it so it looks to the other person that i actually wrote that quickly.

I assume they're busy with other stuff on the comp in the meanwhile(eg, masturbating).

Howdy, Stranger!
