People who use 'lol' as a form of punctuation
It's the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for me, and twice as annoying when done in conversation in person. Of course, the upside to someone doing it in person is that I have a real opportunity to smack them instead of just wishing I could.

I saw a Facebook comment life by a 'friend'
It said: 'James that's not funny lol'. I very nearly said something I was so riled.

Ugh
That's exactly the kind of thing that sets my teeth on edge! It's a bit pleasing to know I'm not the only one.

Not just you.

Now there's an annoying word.
Chalkboard. It's not made of chalk. Mind you it's not made of black either. I'll get my coat.

According to Wikipedia (oh, reliable)
'Modern versions are often green or brown and are thus sometimes called a greenboard or brownboard instead.'
Surely, 'brownboard' has some joke potential.

Yup
It's simply a bloody blackboard.

Yes, even the ones that aren't black. So what? Blackboard is the name for it.

Ah, I was wrong
I was sure this attempt at cleverness would happen in the first three responses.

Honestly, I tried, but I just couldn't stop it. Like a great Schlieffen Plan, but with a keyboard.

I knew someone wouldn't be able to resist!
It's like telling my sister 'Oh, we're out of coffee!' -- even if she didn't want any before, now it's all she can think about.

Don't you mean "grate coment lol"?

(, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 20:19, closed)
Happily withdrawn.
I should have said "Grt Cmnt. LOLzie.
