Just that really. I find them irritating and pointless. But maybe I'm just bah humbug. What do you all think?

I like using them sometimes.
Its notvdomething I'd ever really have strong feelings about.

SlightlyStaleCocoPops · 09/12/2019 22:36

Ok?

steff13 · 09/12/2019 22:36

Sometimes they're cute and funny.

Jupiters · 09/12/2019 22:46

I generally find them a bit weird. Can't really say why, but I'm not a fan.

I have a friend who replies to 99% of WhatsApp messages with a GIF and it is tedious as fuck.

I usually presume the person posting the GIF has a low mental age.

Fucck · 09/12/2019 23:55

Yep, this is one of those times where I try so, so hard to see the OPs point of view but I just can't imagine giving a fuck about something so mundane. Let alone starting a thread about it.

I like funny GIFs, but I have no strong feelings about them. I have no mental impairment either.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 10/12/2019 00:36

Sometimes I use actual words, sometimes a good gif is all that's needed.
I don't have the IQ of a potato either so all is good.

steff13 · 10/12/2019 00:37

I like this one, if someone asks me to go out and I'm feeling crampy and gross.

I love a good giff. There is no occasion that a giff is not appropriate for Grin

YourWinter · 10/12/2019 01:10

I hate them too. ....
Generally used by people who think they're funny

Glitteryone · 10/12/2019 01:14

I love them

JingsMahBucket · 10/12/2019 01:39

Also hate them 90% of the time. People are losing the ability to actually express themselves with words and a wide ranging vocabulary. It’s frustrating at times.

I love a good GIF. I especially enjoy ones from TV shows I've enjoyed and that say the exact thing I'm thinking. I'm annoying!
