Pet Peeve #987,320,091: Incorrect Usage of Emoticons

Elvis WinkingHulk just texted me:

Good afternoon beautiful πŸ˜‰

UNLESS HE’S TELLING ME I AM UGLY, THAT’S THE INCORRECT USE OF AN EMOTICON!!!

Mr. Winky is used when you are being silly or saying something in a sarcastic, teasing way.

Mr. Smiley should have been used instead. Mr Smiley shows that the comment was meant in an upbeat, friendly way.

Over and over again, the Hulk misuses emoticons and it’s driving me nuts!

How are you? πŸ˜‰

WRONG!

was thinking of u πŸ˜‰

WRONG!

Honestly, this whole situation is stressing me out. I think I am over analyzing it. πŸ˜‰
