to want to punch the ‘confused’ mumsnet emoji in its stupid face

[Snuffalo]

This one:

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!’

this face is similarly, but slightly less, infuriating.

I love as I often cock a quizzical eyebrow.

can be interpreted as a by passive aggressive I think.

Love both of them.

can be passive aggressive.

I agree OP.
Gets on my tits.

and are my faves closely followed by

See @trojanpony I can't tell if you're taking the piss of not cos I just see the same face three times!

this is my favourite. Especially as I can raise my left eyebrow in real life (don’t ya know).

I'm with you OP. I hate so much.

It seems to be used to indicate that the poster thinks you're stupid but in a really passive aggressive way. Often while spectacularly missing the point themselves.

I hate it.

can be bad but not nearly as bad, and sometimes it adds genuine humour to a post.

However, I love

Also find the "not envy" thing quite irritating in most circumstances. If you're talking about a toddler rolling in their own vomit (or whatever) no-one is going to think it's envy!
