You know what's extremely obnoxious? People who reply with nothing but ''lol'' after loooong (Or normal) replies. I'm sure it's acceptable if what I say is a joke, but I'll wanna rip your head off in any other scenario, if you do that.

I cannot keep a conversation alive, if all the other person says is ''lol''. I just can't.

lolwut he only person who I can think of that's a comedian here is John.

But yeah, I do think it's annoying when one does a TL;DR and all they get is an "ok" or an "lol", especially when I make a lengthy post that took a good few minutes for me to type up..

Its definitely a conversation killer, that's for sure. I also just have a hard time understanding what the phrase is supposed to mirror, exactly. I feel like it's turning into the modern day period. Sort of how telegrams ended with STOP after every sentence. Instead of this STOP. You get this lol.
he did it, not me.

Yeah, people aren't even using it for what's it supposed to mean. -_-

Example:

A: I'm bored.
B: lol


I am sure that you can all see how hilarious and clever was person A's text. Person B knows what's up.

Yeah lol's are annoying. Especially through text messaging on phones. I can't tell you how much one of my friends & I tell our gang that this topic right here & everything I'll post below, is just ridiculous annoying. They don't care. Horrible conversation folks >:( Its no different than:

1) k or ok
2) "ic" or I see
3) cool
4) wow
5) nice
6) ah
7) mmm, umm or mhm
8) yay or awesome!

Honestly, I couldn't care less what the person I'm talking to thinks of me if I reply with 'lol' or 'k'. Some times there's just no other way to reply to the person you're talking to without reading the message, not replying and being rude. I quite dislike and fail to understand why so many people find 'k' to be rude. I mean...what? It's just a short term for okay, or ok. If I wanted to offend you, I have a plethora of other words I could use. :p

But yeah, if you've typed out a really long response and all you get in return is a 'lol' or 'k' then I understand how one finds that annoying; especially if your message is open-ended.

I agree that it's extremely rude. What it says to me is "I have no interest in conversing with you further so I'm just going to give you an answer that you cannot reply to."

Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol




Lol .-. I agree with it seeing as how usually if I want to talk to someone or text them they are either pissed or hate me to begin with.... it bothers me because I enjoy conversing but no one likes to converse with me >x<

Walking down the path I know. Banning Pokémon just because you don't know how to beat them is just plain wrong. It's like banning alcohol because it makes ugly people pretty.

Haha, I do this sometimes, but often times I follow it up with something and try not to leave people hanging :P None of my friends are particularly guilty of this tendency to an extreme, but they throw them in once in a while.

I can be a pretty funny guy when given the chance, but I can't for the life of me, hold a 1 on 1 convo, I'm too slow. The longest I've lasted in one of those before I ran out of things to say was about 8 minutes. Way below par. I don't use lol that much, and I don't like to keep anybody waiting, so I will reply asap.

Yea, I hate that too, but sometimes it's all that can be said :P What I find most amusing about it is that if all someone says is "lol", that probably means that what you said wasn't all that funny, despite the fact that lol stands for "laughing out loud".

To think, there was once a time when "lol" actually meant that you literally laughed out loud.

This happened to me on Facebook yesterday.
Spoiler:


It's probably partially my fault for responding the way I did, but I was trying to start a conversation with this person and all she does is reply back is "lol". Like what do I say back to that? You just killed the conversation here. I mean in this situation, she probably did "laugh out loud" , but I was hoping she'd say more. Oh well.
