I’ve written about this before, but it’s worth the effort to repeat myself.
I hate emojis and refuse to use them. Not only is it a waste of time after you’ve already typed what you’re going to say, but they are just clutter. Oh, they think they are clever, but those of us with a mind think otherwise.
Most of all, I think they are childish or for girls. I lose respect for any guy who sends me one. I refuse to send them back. I don’t even know if anyone has noticed it from me, but then I don’t care. At least my son won’t use them either. I didn’t even have to say anything.
It’s like wearing makeup or girls playing with dolls. It covers up something or tries to make it look better, but not to me.
Worst of all is an emoji for an answer without any words. I roll my eyes.
I guess some people think it’s cute, or that I’m a grumpy old man, but I also don’t have a lot of time left, and I’m not going to waste it on something I just said in words.
Oh, and a repeat emoji is the worst. I got it the first time. It’s like typing in CAPS, IT IS ANNOYING.
