internet hostage

When you are talking to someone online and they will not let you log off peacefully. When you log on the next day there are usually 20-30 messages from them asking if you are there in your offline message.

You: Well its kinda late... I'm gonna go get some sleep.
Them: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :'(
Them: Just stay and talk for a few more minutes PLZPLZPLZ
You: Ok...

(30 minutes later)

You: I really have to go, I have to wake up for work in 4 hours.
Them: But I really want to talk to you...
You: I have to go.
Them: 5 more mins!!!!
You: No, sorry. We can talk tomorrow or something.
Them: Tomorrow??? Come on just a few more minutes.
You: Bye
Them: Waaaaiiitt!

(Next Day)

"You have logged on to internet messaging service"

Offline messages:

Them: You there?
Them: Hello?
Them: Did you log off?
Them: I know you are there.
Them: You just went invisible.
Them: Why aren't you talking?
Them: Hellooooooo!?!?!?
*BUZZ!*
Them: Hey talk to me...

"Dude, this chick held me internet hostage for almost an hour last night. I thought I wasn't ever going to be able to log off."

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.

"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
