This post is inspired from Nadnut who has the following to say,
.
How many of you have changed your MSN/WLM status to “Busy” and have people approaching you asking all sorts of WTF! questions like,
“HELLO! ARE YOU BUSY?“
OR
“Hello?”
(5 seconds later…)
“Hello?”
(5 seconds later…)
“Hello?”
(5 seconds later…)
“Busy?”
.
How many of you have also been so accustomed by the misuse of the status that you approach a person NO MATTER what status they are having? Which is very true for my observation as most of the people on my list who are “busy” or “away” are actually very free to chat.
So, these are the observations for the 4 most popular MSN/WLM statuses!

What it says: “Online”
What people think it means: You are free to chat with anyone!
What it should mean: You are free to chat with anyone!
What it really means to you: I am free to chat with anyone!
What it really really means to you: Mass cybersex anyone?

What people think it means: Where is that $#%%@$!^!???

What it really means to you: I am feeling anti-social.
What it really really means to you: If I want to cybersex, I will approach you.

What it says: “Away”
What people think it means: You are 30cm ‘away’ from the monitor.
What it should mean: You are physically away from your computer/device.
What it really means to you: I am away, don’t expect me to reply you.
What it really really means to you: If I like you, I am 30cm ‘away’ from the monitor. If not, don’t expect me to reply you.
