Mr. Smiley

[Enigma]

I'm not sure how others feel but that little smily face suggestion image appearing all the time yanks me in bad places. We all know where to make suggestions. Why is it there? Just to piss people off?

I swear, if had my .357, I would put a hole in f'ing screen. I hate it when shit pops up that I didn't ask for.
and I'm a pretty mellow sort.

.357? You're such a little girl sometimes. What's wrong with a nice, gentle .44?

I can't stand the "you're mental" smiley. I think it's really rude.

Same with the ai-yo one. People don't use it about their own silly behaviours, they use it to suggest that other people are being twats.

I think then from now on, it should only be used when discussing the likes of David Icke.

I also hate that rolling eye smiley . Again, what is that saying? Would anyone roll their eyes like that during a conversation without expecting some serious come-back?

If you use it to talk about a third person then it works. Like, "I saw this douche driving his bike along the pavement and I was like " However it mostly gets used as, "Yeah I hear what you are saying and I think you are some (insert something about the colours blue or green) sympathiser "

Ai-yo should be for "I fell over on the way to work and made a right fool of myself " Instead it gets used as "You are a dick. " As you rightly say if you used the second example of the eye roll or said ai-yo in that context in a face to face conversation you'd either need to be really really good friends with the other person, or be expecting a fist fight.
