If you are talking to multiple people on AIM and just out of coincidence, nobody responds for a short period of time.
Person A is talking to B and C. A types a message to B and then types a message to C, but neither respond right away.

When you have so much fun with someone you as them to your friends list. Then a few months later you look at your list and go "who the hell is this?"
