Nobody is crazy about facebook chat. Have you ever been writing on somebody's wall when "Hey buddy? how was class?" or "Hey man, what are you up to?" suddenly pops up?

Facebook has found a way to make the most invasive tool in communication history. Facebook chat is like having to answer every call you get. Calls, aim, and emails are avoidable but facebook chat seems to be currently unbeatable. Here are a couple ways to dodge the chat attack.

1. Easy, Do not answer

- Give the silent treatment, if they ask about it later then just say that you didn't notice the notification because facebook was minimized.

2. Status Status Status

- People read the status. I do, if nobody else will admit it. Facebook status is more powerful then the away message. Mostly because there is no default facebook away status. You have to make your own. If that status is "Don't facebook chat me, even if I am online, I dont want to talk to you" That is a straight forward message that only real douchebags will question.

3. Dude, really?

- Going further into the direct route, call the chatterer out on their invasion. If you get a "Hey what are you doin?" a stern "What do you think? nothing, and I know you have nothing to do because you have time to facebook chat me." This will get the message across.

Comment if you have found more ways.
