It's a good idea to turn off Facebook chat to avoid being messaged by friends and family when you log into your Facebook account. Unless you turned off Facebook's chat program at the end of your previous Facebook session, the program automatically logs you in when you log into Facebook the next time. It only takes a few seconds to change the Facebook status and appear offline.
