I Hate Rolleyes.

    Rolleyes. I hate that little git. I want him out. I've hardly ever used him, and when I have I've hated myself for it. He's the bug-eyed face of passive aggressiveness. He's the round head of idiocy. He's the smirky face of facetiousness. He's the little blue head of dismissiveness. :rolleyes:

    He's evil with a face. If he smelled, he's smell of Satans weewee. If he sang, he'd be Crystal Swing. If he was an elderly woman regularly ridiculed on AH, he'd be Linda Martin. He's the last resort of the inarticulate and the lazy. He's the PMS of emoticons. :rolleyes:

    Anyway, you get the picture. What we need to replace him is a skeptical smiley. Something slightly more civil. Something like this guy, perhaps:

    Anyone else hate this little guy?:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Are you saying you aren't passive aggressive? Because I'd agree. You're generally actively aggressive. The fact you're trying to use "some people" as an insult shows this.
    I don't get why you'd need to explain that you're actively aggressive after demonstrating it. :confused:

    On another note: I'm way, way not in the energetic mood for this.

    What? I'm aggressive?

    It was a joke, and I thought that was obvious :(

    ahh the classic triple bluff manoeuvre,

    who saw that coming?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,749 ✭✭✭Flippyfloppy


    It's weird. In a deeper blue shade, the rolleyes face of smugness looks kinda friendly and cute http://members.optusnet.com.au/isaksen/bigroll.GIF

    I have refrained from putting an emoticon in this post.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    He's more context dependent, rolleyes is always obnoxious.

    I do see :) being used in that way though, and it's almost as bad.

    .... I may have broken the OP.

    Also.

    My use of 300 rolleyes was deemed unacceptable when I originally tried to do this.

    I think people should be made upload photos of themselves displaying whatever facial expression they use a smilie for.

    I did that once on something. Can't remember what, but it might have been Yahoo! messenger way back when. I tried to recreate and replaced every smilie there was - the sticky-outy-tongue-one was the weirdest.

    I like him. There are plenty of posts where he is the only appropriate response.

    It is when he used incorrectly that annoys me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭moc moc a moc


    The only problem with the current rolleyes is that it's smiling. People don't smile when they roll their eyes.
