Okay... so I got an email from this dude the other day:
Yadda, yadda, yadda... I have no clue who the heck this dude is.
So I email him back: "who the heck are you?"
he says: "I am gaffa from neutron city and i like your pixel art i would be interested in hiring you to do some work for me if you are interested"
I email: "well, there's better ways to go about than to assume I'm going to add you to my messenger without even knowing you. Secondly, if you want me to do some work for you, you need to give me details - ie: website, images needed, salary, etc. So far I'm not interested."
He replies: "Dont want you then i have found a much better artists Bye."
Retard. Do you guys get idiots like him emailing you too?

I don't blame him, Blinky... I mean, how dare you request
details?!? You should already know what he wants, are you
retarded? You are suppose to go into these kind of things
completely blind!!! Damn.

I get a lot of random people adding me to MSN. Then when the screen
comes up telling me I've been added to their list, I always add them to
mine and they usually beat around the bush. It's always something like:
"Ur Blink?"
"Blick."
"Oh. Ur a pixel artist rite?"
"Right."
"Cool."
A couple of minutes later...
"So, I am working on this MMORPG..." *
"Oh."
"Could you make some art for it?"
"No, I have too much stuff to do." **
"K."
*MMORPG are often failures and I'm curious if that "pitch", or any
modified version of it, has ever worked for an indie developer.
**I honest do have too much stuff to do. Right now, I have a physics
lab write up and graphs due tomorrow, then I'm a week behind in my
English and French work, and I have yet to do honest work on any of my
forensics assignments so far this year. I need to learn some time
management, but I'd rather watch tv.

I get some stuff like that as well. It's pretty dumb how ignorant people can be sometimes. This is what I call - immaturity

one time this kid wanted me to do art for him with funds from his Christmas and birthday money...
he was promising big money at first, acting like this big shot...
needless to say, I didn't accept the job..

Sonic sucks donkeyballs. I hate seeing every second piece of pixel art at DA being Sonic or something to do with Sonic. Usually it's a sprite rip made into a crappy "comic" that isn't funny or amusing whatsoever

Not to mention it's usually with characters edited from Sonic sprites and made into crappy recolours... I'm sick of it D:

Back on topic of Messenger Tards: I just had another nice conversation.
Him: u smell
Me: Ok.
Then the guy wants to watch through my webcam. How does that make
sense? First I smell, then I get a webcam invitation. Anyway, I
thought: hey, it probably won't work because of my router's firewall
anyway, so why not. So I clicked accept, only to find out that for some
reason it did work. I quickly point the webcam to a blank piece of paper, and he's all: "wtf"
He thinks my webcam is pointed at the ceiling, but I tell him it's pointed right at me and that it probably isn't working 
Yeah, so that's my story. My opinion: it's fun messing with these kinds of people. Too bad they're so annoying.
Alright, this doesn't have much to do with what Pixelblink posted, but
I thought I'd mention it anyway since the thread was called Messenger
Tards.

This one time this guy I didn't even know messaged me on AIM and
accused me of being racist all of a sudden, I didn't know why and he
said I banned him (I was a mod on Pixeltendo), when I tried to say I
wasn't racist he was acting like a complete dumbass when he himself was
putting down all other races but his own.
I didn't know who he was until a few days later, which I banned him for posting Futurama porn.

They may be annoying, but annoy them more then they can annoy you... It drives them wild
