i assume there is something called 'i-etiquette'...

... but i think, as countless other times, i am wrong...
i have a strange habit of getting rid of things i do not need which i have, of late, finetuned to extremities... just as i write this, B calls to ask about a Gift Voucher that he had got and given me for 'safekeeping'... nowhere is that found and his doubt is that i MUST have junked it, in the belief that we wil not need it... that is not the point of this post though...
i erase people's numbers i no longer call, i erase people's ids (mail) from my IM, in the foolish belief that if i do not see them, they will also not see me... clear instance of a tunnel vision...
but just a while back, someone with whom i have not communicated for quite sometime, pops out of nowhere on my monitor and hugs me...
she was a baby when i first saw her, but that was 31 years back...
this lady, all of a sudden comes like a gust of wind, and after the cursory exchanges of how we are, how the weather is (typical example of more important things coming), she pops her real question... about character certificate in some other country...
i am quite irritated with her sudden appearance, since when she changes countries and cities, she gets so busy that she misses even telling me, over the same chat site...
and on top of that, she reveals her purpose in the third sentence...
i brush it aside like a speck of dust and tell her, "have no idea"...
the next sentence is, "ok, bye, take care, catch you soon" and runs off...
what does one do with such idiots? can you tell me?????
