AIBU to think 👍 is rude

[SowhoamI505]

When texting, my pet peeve is use of 👍, is this just me who finds it rude? To explain why I find use of it rude, it’s been used in response to questions and some other situations like sharing a photo.

Yes 👍

I don't find it rude at all.

Why would it be? It means yes, I agree to meet you where we’ve just agreed at a specific time. Or showing you’ve read and agreed with someone else’s post.

Yes. It's like being fobbed off

👍

YABU 👍

Yeah it's rude unless used by my parents

Depends on the message and intent.

You've really upset me 👍🏻is rude.

Shall we meet at the pub at 7pm? 👍🏻 is not rude.

It depends who’s using it. Some people particularly use it in a passive aggressive way. Others don’t

To me it simply means, Yes or great.
whats it mean to you?

🖕Rude
👍Not rude

I don't think it is rude - I think its 'yes I agree' or 'yes I have saw this'

Really? What makes it rude?

I hope you’re an anomaly op as I use it loads and hope I’ve not offended a load of my friends!

In my world its just shorthand for OK, over and out.

😂😂

Yabu. If you think that's rude you are impossibly over-sensitive and need to get a grip.

Same. For when there’s that last acknowledgment but it would be weird to actually write a sentence. Or just ‘that’s fine’ etc.

I’ve heard the young uns say it’s rude. But then I’ve also heard them say full stops are rude.
shrug.
i use it all the time to mean ‘like’ in a fab way or to mean ‘yes, or ok’

I think it's rude and to me says I've got nothing better to say to you.

That’s interesting! I think their use of no full stops is rude. And what it is it they have against capital letters?!

I think it’s just used to indicate agreement. Where perhaps there’s not much else to say.

Obviously would be very annoying if given in response to a question with alternatives!

‘See you at 8’

’👍🏻’

Really, does anything else need saying?

Context is king here I think

Weird.

I find it incredibly rude too.

Depends on the context though surely? I asked my DH to pick up milk earlier and he replied with that. Would you find that rude?
