Office workers: STOP with the “hey” IMs

I am so sick of the “hey” IMs that contain no other information about what this person wants. It's a trap every single fucking time. Them: “Hey” Me [begrudgingly after a few minutes]: “Hi” Them: “Have a few minutes for a quick call?!” NO YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE, SCHEDULE A CALL ON MY CALENDAR, THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR. I AM BUSY DOING ACTUAL WORK. IM is not a tool to poke your co-workers to see if they are there for you to spring a call on or sidetrack them unless the building is on fire. Thank you.
