What is the deal with the overuse of LOL on chat rooms, comments, forum boards and other places unfunny people gather to laugh out loud at themselves?
I consistently see moronic posts with that annoying abbreviation. Things like, "Oh, I just stepped out to feed the dog and missed out, LOL" or "I just made a cup of coffee and it tastes bad, LOL". What the Hell is so funny about that? Would you REALLY laugh out loud at that? Or is it some nervous verbal filler you feel you have to end your sentences with. Like those annoying guys who think they can be funny overusing ellipses in a blog post...............
But really, shouldn't we behave online as we do within human interaction? Shouldn't we use actual words rather than "wnt 2 c the dr." or "R u goin 2mrrw?" or some other ilk? Why can't you walk on the same side of the sidewalk as the road that you drive on?
The Internet has made people lazy, misspelling misanthropes who feel the need to laugh out loud at their run of the mill life observations. That is, when they're not asking you to "send them the link" rather than taking five seconds and using Google. The overuse of LOL and other chat crutches makes me want to go find that fat kid from high school. You know, the one that always started a joke with, "Oh, you gotta hear this, it's SO FUNNY!!", and it wasn't.
Telling someone something is funny before it's proven is just bad comedic form. That shit will get you killed at a real comedy club. Well, at the very least, called a hack and heckled out the front door never to return again. Then again, beat up and locked in the trunk of a car would be a better lesson in how not to pull that "OMG, this story is FUN-NEE" line ever again.
He wasn't funny and neither are you. He just got fatter and lazier, and puts LOL in front of everything. He probably just asked his wife for sex and she held up a sign with "LOL" on it. Now, that shit IS funny. But then again, she married him - she must have a sense of humor in the first place.
