This one: Confused

90% of the time I see it here, it doesn’t indicate confusion but rather the shitty, superior attitude on the part of the person using it. ‘Oh I’m just so CONFUSED as to why you would do/buy/say that, instead of doing/buying/saying whatever I, as a superior sort of person, would do/buy/say instead!’

Hmm this face is similarly, but slightly less, infuriating.

I think you need to get out more.

Confused

I love Hmm

I agree with you about old stunned wriggly mouth though Confused

TroubledMuchly · 01/01/2019 18:25
Hmm
Confusedbeetle · 01/01/2019 18:25

ooh for a sec I thought you meant me!

Celebelly · 01/01/2019 18:26

I like Hmmbut I tend only to use it towards myself, not others. Confused is definitely a loaded emoji.

RiddleyW · 01/01/2019 18:29

It is often used in a really annoying way like

but you said your child was 3 OP - why would they be in a pushchair Confused

HolgerLowCarbingLoser · 01/01/2019 18:29

I love the Hmm face! - it perfectly illustrates how I feel regarding many, many people, their frankly quite odd and often stupid opinions, and many, many situations. I really miss it when I’m using other platforms.

But you don’t have to like it.

@RiddleyW EXACTLY

I use it more as a “did you mean to be such a dipshit” face

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 01/01/2019 18:32

But that's exactly what it's supposed to be used for Confused

StoorieHoose · 01/01/2019 18:33

Hmm this face perfectly sums up the Scottish phrase ‘did ye, aye’

Triskaidekaphilia · 01/01/2019 18:37

Sort of hate them both, sort of use them both too Grin

I love them! Convert to baby centre I don't think they gave such frivolousness 😆

WanderingTrolley1 · 01/01/2019 18:41
Hmm
TheCbeebiesYellowBlobs · 01/01/2019 18:42

Love them. Need to find a way to use them in texts. I wish stupid apple were more heavily influenced by mumsnet.

Xmas Confused
TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 01/01/2019 18:48

I often wish the had them as a reaction on Facebook Grin

LavaLampLover · 01/01/2019 18:53

Biscuit is the one I don't get. I think people get a biscuit if they're being a twat or something. But why a biscuit.

Sparklingbrook · 01/01/2019 18:55

Confused and Hmm are the best faces there are.

Much of what is posted in AIBU is worthy of both of them. Sums it up nicely most of the time.

paintinmyhairAgain · 01/01/2019 18:56

i love Grin and crying with laughter emojis in any format it just winds me up so much, not sure why ? Confused

PavlovianLunge · 01/01/2019 18:57

Lava, I’d say it’s the MN equivalent of put a sock in it, but there’s also something about Gordon Brown on an MN webchat declining to answer a question about what his favourite biscuit is/was.

paintinmyhairAgain · 01/01/2019 18:57

meant to say i HATE crying with laughter emoji !

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 01/01/2019 18:58

Hmm is the best ever. I often do similar irl (normally at myself)

Confused is a bit meh, I do use it but not very often.

Envy needs to be renamed, because it's hardly ever used for actual envy.
