Backwards to a Foreword

I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.

All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.

They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.

Things that Shit me #15- lol

LOL is an abbreviation/acronym for "Laugh Out Loud" which has wormed its way into the internet and text messages (or should I say txt msgs?).

So why does it give me the shits?
1- It's rarely used in a context where it is actually accurate. I seriously doubt that the people using it are laughing out aloud, or even giggling audibly.
2- It's often used incorrectly lol. Like when someone says "Hows the weather? lol"
3- The absolute worst part is when people actually SAY "Lol". It's not a word folks- its an acronym- Misuse of which is getting right up there with "ATM machine".

It is however a remarkable indicator of someone's stupidity at times- for example if you're making fun of them:
Me: "That's not right- you're a tool."
Lol-er "Yeah. lol"

ROFL: Don't think you've escaped the sword here.
I think I have possibly only rolled on the floor with laughter about 5 times in my life, not every time I write a fucking text or read a cartoon or comment on SOMEONE ELSE'S STUPID COMMENT ON FACEBOOK!
