How to block certain friends from #Facebook chat

Alrite, so we all have those friends ... that the SECOND you pop online message you. You love 'em for whatever god awful reason ... but you don't always wanna talk to them. Facebook unfortunately doesn't offer a "block" feature on their current IM settings, but you can do this ...

1. Click on Chat.

2. Select "Friends list"

3. Create a new list ... I title it as "friends" because I don't know how secure these lists are. The last thing you want to do is label it, "don't ever IM me again you butthole" ... and then have the person find out. Totally not kosher.

4. Once the list has been created, hover your mouse over it and you will see "edit" appear in blue.

5. Select "edit."

6. Add your friends names. 

7. Hover the mouse back over to the listing and select the green slide bar, which will turn that list to offline.

Bada bing! Your friends on that list now cannot see you online.

Easy like Sunday morning! ... Just like your mom.
