Alexander Marfitsin, director of communications for the Amplifer service, shared things that annoy when communicating in social networks and messengers. Lifehacker publishes a note with the permission of the author.

1. Problems with literacy

It's not critical if someone sends a message without the correct quotes and dashes, but when there are no punctuation marks at all, and the words are written like a chicken's paw, it really pisses me off.

2. Impudence

Recently, a girl added me to Facebook and wrote: "Well, are we going with us in July?" Who she is, with whom we are going and where is a mystery to me. I'm sure this happened to you too. Arrogance is bad. Always state your intentions correctly.

3. Just write "Hello!"

It's right to say hello. But when they write on a business issue, it is annoying that the person does not immediately get to the point of the question, but starts sending you on-duty phrases like "hello, how are you?" If you need to discuss something on the case, do not hesitate - start right away on the merits.

4. Send multiple messages in a row

Do not

Make

Please

Nobody likes a storm of notifications when they divide one simple message into several monosyllabic words.

5. Send audio messages in inappropriate situations

Audio messaging is a wonderful thing, but everything has its place and time. If it is uncomfortable for a person to listen, then do not go against it - send it in text.

6. While you were replying to one message, they sent you another 10

It's embarrassing, isn't it? Wait for the answer of the interlocutor, and then bombard with new questions.

7. When you read and did not answer

Often we report something important in messengers, something that must be answered. Do not leave such messages unanswered, so that the sender does not worry.

8. When they print for a long time, but send three words

The feeling of being intrigued with a longread and then broken off is not the most pleasant thing. Don't make the person wait a few minutes for your answer.

9. When a large message is answered "Ok" and it is not clear why this is "Ok"

If you have received a large message, take the time to read it and respond to specific passages. “Clear”, “understandable”, “well” is not the best reaction to long texts. After all, surely the person put his soul into them while he was writing!

10. When a questionable link is sent and nothing else

Doubtful and ambiguous links are best accompanied by some kind of commentary. Immerse the interlocutor in context so that he understands what awaits him via the link.

11. When strangers switch to "you"

No, we would not refuse such a greeting from Malikov. But when a complete stranger writes that you have been communicating with him for a hundred years, it is very enraging. If the interlocutor is okay with "you", he will inform you about it.
