This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves. It all starts innocently enough but it's one of those things that tends to build until you realize that they are blatantly ignoring you. Unanswered Questions, that is where this all begins. In the beginning I let it go as I was excited about a new prospect, however that was a mistake as I later found out. Not answering your questions is bad sign & I don't allow myself to play that game anymore. Anyone else have this problem?

Use your brains.

"Smoke Signals"

Now if you set em on fire, they wont ignore you will they.

leona the brat.

It's a constant internet problem. Really frustrating, annoying, and makes me angry, but not much can be done about it. It's especially upsetting when you've been having what you thought was a good conversation...and then all at once, they're gone!

Maybe it's the Ghost in the machine.

The mention of Ghost in the Machine sent me here:

I don't Text.

I use my phone as a phone.

Conversations are better in person.

I thrive without texting, without apps.
This mindset of "must have a phone" is a form of dependency brainwashing and manipulation.
Most of my life, phones were wired to the wall.

Not to say a cell phone is not useful. What I'm saying is most use is purely unnecessary.
Focus on the here and now right in front of you.

Not that I'm aware of.

In my 30+ years of using the interwebz,
yours is the absolute first complaint
of actual ghosting I've ever seen.

You're a trend setter.

I've had many types of pets, but never had peeves as pets. They're just too risky.

I like your sense of humor .
