I am usually amused when I am logged in at a nearby info hub and rez as a grey stick figure or as a cloud. Local chat is can be pretty funny in these forced group gatherings and I occasionally hang around for while to see how people react. Yesterday when this happened it was a bit eerie because no one in the pileup of grey figures spoke at all. The only noise was the sound of people teleporting off to their daily lives. It felt a bit like a traffic jam at the toll booth back when I used to have a morning commute into the city.
What is the point of complaining about events you are powerless to change? We can't control technical glitches but our own reactions to such situations is where we have a choice. When you are met with frustration do you shake your fist, stomp and complain? Do you take the opportunity to observe and possibly learn something about yourself or others? Do you find the humor and have a laugh? Do you shrug and move on? How do you react?

Well seeing I am in general amused at the sight of flailing avatars - events like this to me are actually pretty funny, ha!
I generally watch and listen in on any conversation that may be taking place, which can be quite humorous at times. More often then not though the assembled crowd is fairly quiet and eager at getting back to their virtual lives.
I usually laugh :)
