I don't want to add someone on MSN?

Question

I don't want to add some of my coworkers on MSN.. but what if someone is standing right in front of me while I'm using MSN and asks me what my msn address is, and I don't want to add that person? What should I say?

Answer 1

set up a second account and give that one to people you dont want to add. or after accepting them block them or be invisible to them

Answer 2

create another account and give them that account id. in that way you won't be lying and be rude, and you can avoid them too!

Answer 3

Tell them that you're just using MSN once in a while and that you wouldn't have time to chat with all of them at work. Moreover, you may add that you would only have the most convenient time to talk to them in person or after working hours.

Hope this helps

Answer 4

There are many solutions for this!

The two most common are:

1. 'accidentally' typo; if you have a longer sn or one with numbers, typo.

It may sound stupid but forgetting an extra letter or number will offset them, just be sure to not type one that is obvious. If it contains your name, your best bet is to typo something other than your name. This is becuase I've purposely forgot a letter in an email with my name, hoping they thought it was a typo, though they've easily thought it was a typo and corrected.

2. Create an email, get on MSN and make it look legit. You know, typical display name, obvious message etc.. Never sign in of course but you can use this to give to people that you dont' want getting your address, and you can also use this for times when you don't want to give people your personal or real email but they can still have contact with it. I have an email like this, I mainly use it when I have to put my email in places or whatever and don't want someone else seeing  my real email. This would be better for you, because you can't typo the same email constantly to a lot of people.. And I am sure they will ask you again the next day why you aren't on.

Answer 5

I would tell them that you don't mean to be unkind but you only allow your closest friends and family on your MSN.  They should respect that.

It is similar to YA!.  Some contacts want to give me their personal web addresses.  I politely tell them that I will only communicate via YA!.  That way there can be no complications in the future.

Answer 6

Add them and then block them?

Answer 7

miss out a character in it so they get the wrong 1
