Using wireshark to spoof chat

I know that wireshark can monitor plaintext chats for IRC, facebook, gmail, etc etc, but has anyone tried to inject data packets to fake a conversation with someone? Meaning, the victim thinks they are talking to someone else..thanks!

You have a trillion packets.

You need to see four of them.

Don't have Wireshark?
