Oh my god, those damn chat boxes! I work for a company that uses one of those chat box providers. They seem to be actively used and i haven't gotten many complaints.
With that said, our chat icon just sits in the bottom. However, often when i login to the icon provider (to check messages, reply to customers, etc) they have a 6th of my screen taken up by some fake non-replyable chat announcing some faq item, new feature, etc.
I've downvoted every one, and they just keep coming. The activity of it is quite annoying. Especially since we're already a paying customer for them. I hope to god my company doesn't decide to push any of these fake messages out.

My hosting provider has a support chat box that occasionally pops up, but generally isn't very intrusive. I've used it a bunch of times for support and it's been very helpful. I think chatboxes are great when they're used in this way. Anything else is just annoying.
