You know what I hate?
The "invisible" feature on gchat. I hate when friends send me a message when they are invisible. I feel like they have been spying on me and jumped out of a bush to surprise me. If people can see that I'm online, I want to know that they are online. If everyone went invisible all the time, how would people have chat conversations? 
I might be irrationally angry about this. It just feels wrong.

Re: You know what I hate?
So I have 2 gmail accounts. One I created right out of college and the newer one I made after I got married (since the older one had my maiden initials). I still use the old one for junk stuff, like signing up for things (TN, FB, etc) so any spam goes there and not to my new email. I usually check that email each morning, but put it on invisible so people don't see me on that account and send me chat messages there; they will only see me when I sign on to the new one.
My college bff has hers on invisible. She usually can't really talk/chat while at work, but will occationally shoot me an email. It is a little weird but I know she doesn't want to be bombarded by people. Plus she's just a very private person in general.
I have a maiden name account too and I just keep myself signed out of chat since I am only on it for 5 mins at a time, max.
For people who are busy at work, I propose that they should not be on chat at all and should just communicate via email. That's what I do when I get super busy.
I understand how it is convenient for people, but I still don't like it. It feels sneaky.
I have a private gmail account, and my work email/calendar is hosted through gmail/Google. I never turn chat off for my private one, but I'm invisible for my work one, it just feels weird to have that one on, almost like I'm under the microscope at work. I also keep it on invisible so that if I'm checking email from home my co-workers don't automatically assume that I'm completely available if I'm just checking email for less than 5 minutes.
