I have a co-worker that I'm friendly with and I IMed her several times throughout the day, never receiving any response. Today, she was fairly chatty so I asked about her behavior. She said that she wanted to be left alone yesterday and that I was the only one who didn't get it.<br> <br> Am I misguided here in feeling that this ignoring without any explanation was rude? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.46871 Wed, 20 Sep 2006 08:07:59 -0800 etiquette ignoring im bbrown
