I hate this emoji

Hmm. I see it on nearly every thread. I don't even know what the hell it means but I fucking hate it.

Am I alone on this?

And the rest it's this

🙄

shittyshitybangbang · 24/11/2017 23:36

None of the emoji on iPhone bother me but the ones on mumsnet.😤

Mumsnet I think I its about time you update your emojis.

Hmm is the greatest of all emojis. YABVU.

(I hate it when people on MN use the generic emojis - it should be a rule that only officially sanctioned MN emojis are used on MN).

PuppyMonkey · 24/11/2017 23:38

Hmm is a million times better than 🙄 Or 😤

Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2017 23:38

Why all the threads lately about changing MN? Hmm

shittyshitybangbang · 24/11/2017 23:39

@QueenArseClangers I love that emoji it my favourite laughing emoji 🤣🤣🤣.

Claire me too! That stupid smug, face with it's irritating blush!

ScreamingValenta · 24/11/2017 23:42
Hmm
bastardkitty · 24/11/2017 23:45

I'm always looking for Hmm on whatsapp. And strikethrough. When is strikethrough arriving?

PuppyMonkey · 24/11/2017 23:45
Confused
TheresSomebodyAtTheDoor · 24/11/2017 23:45

YANBU, I hate it too!

Passive aggressive, patronising face!

AnnieAnoniMouse · 24/11/2017 23:49

It pisses me off when I want to use it on other sites, but can’t.

It’s a fab emoji 😊

Hmm Hmm Hmm

Xmas Hmm
Owletterocks · 24/11/2017 23:53

Definitely need strike through on mainstream media!

arethereanyleftatall · 24/11/2017 23:57

Yanbu at all. I also hate it. It's rude and patronising, and I hate it.
Though reading some of these responses, perhaps I've negatively over thought this one.

ForagingForFaerieGold · 24/11/2017 23:59

Strikethrough on WhatsApp is done like this
~word~

tobee · 25/11/2017 00:04

I hate the crying with laughter one.

But the Hmmone I also think is pretty horrible when used back at the op. Because to me people use to say what a wanker their ex Dh or mil is. And used at the op it, to me, means "god, you are so feeble, op. Why aren't you as sorted as me?!"

But I am aware it's probably me just being insanely paranoid.

Sparklingbrook · 25/11/2017 00:08

The crying with laughter one is bad enough then you get a row of them which is even worse. Hmm

ArchchancellorsHat · 25/11/2017 00:13

Is that the one Op just posted a little row of? I hadn't been able to work out what the hell that was. I thought the blue bit was a fish fin or something.

Sparklingbrook · 25/11/2017 00:17

I am not sure what they are Arch, I can't make them out either.

The crying with laughter ones I have seen have tears.

KickingCuh · 25/11/2017 00:20

Nope, I totally wish it was on the main emoji keyboard so I can use it allll the time. Often I think if it when no other emoji quite fills the void of trying to get something across to a fuckwit.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 25/11/2017 00:26

I've just realised I use strike through in my head while speaking.

'It's really great to bump into you! oh fuck you saw me before I could hide

haba · 25/11/2017 00:26

Hmm is the best emoji there is... and it's what my face looks like 90% of the time.

Notso · 25/11/2017 00:37

This Wink is the worst one. Smug twat.

Hmm is the best one.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 25/11/2017 00:48

Hmm is pretty much the face I make when reading some of the threads on here. It seems pretty apt.

x2boys · 25/11/2017 00:50

I love it HmmHmmHmm
