And why?

Mine is this one: 🙈

Can’t stand that smug little shit.

What irrational emoji dislikes do you harbour? Grin

This is mine.

🤣 Manic
🥹🥺 Attention seeking
😜 Got your hand in your pants
🤗 Creeps the hell out of me.
💪 That just looks like a chicken thigh

Claricestarling1 · 03/10/2023 10:41

Any of these passive aggressive ones...

👏 🙌 👊 👌 👍 💁‍♀️ 💅

Always posted by people who also like to fling this bad boy around:

Bugs me. 100 what? There's no "per cent" on it, it's just 100. Do people say it in real life?
"Liked that point you made there Greg. ONE HUNDRED!" 😒

Ha! My work slack is literally covered in these. I don't think the Amercians means them PA, they're just very Ra!Ra!Ra!

The 'being sick' one.

I don't really like many, apart from the 😂but the one I particularly dislike is 😊(which I now see is blush) but it just looks like such a smug, self satisfied smile.
I also hate any with tongues sticking out 😛😜😝and think badly of the person using them.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 03/10/2023 11:06

I'm also Neurodivergent and hate pretty much all of them. Friend of mine knows this and peppers her texts with them then says "I know you hate emojis, but hahaha" Twat. Usual suspects include 🤪🙄

Ex partner used to use this one all the time as a constant woe is me narrative 😞 It's pathetic and I hate it.

Also hate this one from online dating days. 😘 Innuendo laden. As is this one. Creepy as fuck 😏 (Example: Hi, my name is Rob and I work next to the Mal Maison hotel, <hint hint insert innuendo emoji here>)

ETA I also hate overly emotive language which is used a lot. For example everyone is always devastated. A lot of emotive language is misplaced, and at other times it doesn't need to be said as it can be inferred by whatever the person is telling you anyway.

I always imagine people making these stupid emoji faces during a conversation in the street. They would look totally batshit.

RudsyFarmer · 03/10/2023 11:10

🤷‍♀️ this one as it always seems to be tagged onto the end of messages that piss me off.

RenoDakota · 03/10/2023 11:28

Don't particularly like or loathe any of them but I often wish there was an eyeball rolling emoji on Facebook (although I would probably be too cowardly to use it).

WanderingWitches · 03/10/2023 11:33

I'm autistic but like emoji, unlike the other ND posters. I feel like I can understand the tone of what is written a bit more.

The one that can get on my nerves is the Facebook 😂 reaction. Mainly because it's used by twatty men on Facebook groups to try and belittle women. Loads of men use it on our local Facebook group if a woman posts about not being able to pass a car parked on the pavement when pushing a pram or in a wheelchair.

Ok so first of all apologies to anyone who uses the ones I mentioned and doesn't mean them passive aggressively! I have just never seen them used in real life without being chucked on the end of a passive aggressive statement 😄

No I've never heard anyone use the term "one hundred" as a phrase, that is bizarre to me lol! I'm from west central Scotland and my husband's a Londoner but nope never heard it until today! Thanks for the explanation (sorry forgot who to tag!)

I am autistic by the way and LOVE an emoji cos it helps denote tone/mood so to me they're brilliant! I'm fascinated to see others feel the opposite!

GodDammitCecil · 03/10/2023 19:06

I also disproportionately hate this one: ☺️
