Live Chess/Status

Question:  When I go to live chess, I notice two types of status for players.  Playing or idle, but there is another status.  Nothing what does that mean? Does that mean they are just observing a game?  Is it ok to challenge these players?

if they are not playing or idle, they are just there chatting, observing, or waiting for a game :)
