Why hide last seen status on Whatsapp?

I

iMore Question

Just wonder... and maybe it's silly but... Why do people hide "last seen" stamp on Whatsapp? Does this say anything about their personality?

Sometimes people get impatient. "You saw my text an hour ago and didn't respond!" And there are times when I want to respond on my own time :)

I don't use whatsapp but I do disable read receipts in iMessage.

Some take offence when they see someone online or last seen after they had sent message and assume the person is ignoring them. irksome issue sometimes leading to misunderstanding
Or just avoid from spy/Stalker

It's a privacy thing...
Some dont want to know when they were Online for privacy. Sometimes there are those who see messages and dont feel like they have to answer at the moment, or can not respond at the time
