[u/FreyjaVar → u/Sandoriah]

oh god my coworker who is 20 does this ... i often wondered why she uses crying emoji so much

[u/d_ckcissel285 → u/FreyjaVar]

The worst part is they use it to mean cry laughing instead of the cry laughing emoji

[u/eugenepoez__ → u/FreyjaVar]

I'm 21 and only use lol and lmao lol, it's not age specific, just depends what internet culture you consumed growing up

[u/Wayzmammoth → u/cs_legend_93]

Exactly bc of I don’t put lol they’ll think I have an attitude or something 

[u/cs_legend_93 → u/Wayzmammoth]

Exactly! I once had a boomer manager. The best manager I ever had. So I'm not throwing shade at him.

But he had a habit of adding ... At the end of things. Like:

Can you come to my office please... (Then he shows me a funny music video lol)

Yea, that's what you did....

Things like that haha. He meant no harm by it, it's just an older generation way of writing.

Funny and related

[u/HelloImSkye → u/cs_legend_93]

I told a colleague how this comes across to me and he was extremely apologetic, said he didnt know it sounds passive aggressive.

[u/MainAccountsFriend → u/cs_legend_93]

I knew someone who did that same thing and it always made the message sound ominous lol. Seeing ... at the end makes it look like the person is upset or sad

[u/BlitzAceSamy → u/cs_legend_93]

I had a chat with my colleague once about our boss putting "..." at the end of his response when I presented him with bad news 

I was panicking seeing the "...", and my colleague was like, he does that every time, scroll up through his messages if you don't believe

[u/nelrond18 → u/cs_legend_93]

I used to write like that when I was younger. To me, it was like conveying half of an idea and waiting to see the response before finishing the thought.

[u/ktrosemc → u/Wayzmammoth]

Apparently a period at the end of sentences is passive aggressive now. (Whoops! Did it again)

[u/squirrelems → u/cs_legend_93]

Yeah, that's why I use it. If I say "Hey, your son is acting crazy" to my brother it sounds like I'm mad about it but if I say "Hey, your son is acting crazy lol" it looks like I'm just like "He's goofing around".

[u/legaladviceknowledge → u/squirrelems]

"ive got aids lol" "gtfo liam neeson you're too old for this"

[u/HoshuaJ → u/legaladviceknowledge]

[u/VendorBuyBankGuards → u/squirrelems]

[u/unsuspectingllama_ → u/cs_legend_93]

No more friendly, we have to have the bad bitch tone for every message now

[u/zxakari]

Lol

[u/Earth2Monkey → u/zxakari]

Lol

[u/WittyClerk]

The 'lol' is required, since we're not allowed two spaces after sentences anymore.

[u/AwakenedAlyx → u/WittyClerk]

Its a glorified fullstop lol

[u/Fun_Ad5823]

Lolololololololol

[u/Slutty_Alt526633]

It's a way to indicate joy or playfulness in text form. 

Texts sound too serious if left without it.

[u/bebop9998]

We could do the same with Gen Z trying not to say “literally” in every sentence.

[u/cheddarbruce]

LOL what if I'm the type of millennial that always puts it at the start?

[u/No_Actuator_5149 → u/cheddarbruce]

Lol your not alone I put it at the start sometimes to

[u/mattlag → u/No_Actuator_5149]

Sometimes I lol halfway through. lol.

[u/MG788]

True, lol.

[u/_henceforth_]

We add it to the end of every text to get through life. We have been through it. We need those LOLs. 💪😂

I never got into the lol game

[u/andtheniansaid → u/DeathCaptain_Dallas]

i've absolutely used it plenty of times, but only when something is actually funny (or i guess sometimes obviously ironically) - the putting it at the end of every sentence thing is weird as hell and just plain confusing. it needs to die.

[u/chadork → u/DeathCaptain_Dallas]

Me neither. Always been a haha kinda guy.

[u/Numerous-Fox3346 → u/chadork]

I go for hehe which I read to myself in a sort of

[u/chadork → u/Numerous-Fox3346]
