Its been more than 3 years i have been using Slack and Apple devices. But no matter whatever software i use, this emoji follows me to the hell.

We have many emojis. With many, i many really really big list of freaking emojis. But still people use it. I mean don’t get me wrong. Just look at it yourself 🙂 I think either this emoji is broken or I am (sighh)

Sometimes (yeah sometimes), I wake up with a good mood and after getting a good freaking coffee (which makes my mood 10x good) I open our communication tool at which is obviously Slack & Bam 🙂

Someone tags me in a chat message which has this 🙂 emoji, everything in the day gets fucked up! This is so fucking uncomfortable freaking emoji. I mean forget about the message, can’t even focus on that message. I see this 🙂 and i start getting fucking migraines.

Being working remotely for more than 4 years, I can’t really think what the other person is thinking. But the least they can do is use a good emoji to represent the fuck they’re trying to convey 😂

Its not just slack, its every freaking software i use. Every website i use. I see people using 🙂 and bam rest of the day fucked. I can’t really tell why but my feelings are a bit complicated when it comes to this 🙂 Now i think you’re starting to get something right?

Just look at this article, same broken emoji used so many times. Does it bother you? Let me know in comments if you do so i don’t feel like an outlier 😄
