Some utter fucktard of a gimp I worked with a few years back said "Lol!" instead of, you know, laughing. It took a superhuman effort to prevent myself from panelling his jaw.

Also my boss from a while further back, a married man in his 40s, used to throw them about merrily in his emails. Then he came out as a gay. I think there's a moral in there somewhere.
