Today, I noticed that my new colleague never laughs. Instead she says, "LOL". I have to work with her every day. FML
I agree, your life sucks 43 041

Jienaf tells us more.

Hey guys! Can't believe this got posted! Some of the comments were hilarious, others were downright mean! Let me clarify something, which I believe would shed some more light on the story. She is a very sweet person and you wouldn't ask for a better colleague actually! I actually got round to tell her to stop saying LOL (as in, LOL not L.O.L hehe). That's where started laughing and admitted that she knew that it was annoying and did it on purpose to jokingly annoy her colleagues :) So guess the joke was on us after all :)

Just LOL at every single thing she does. Maybe then she'll see how annoying and stupid it sounds

Oh, I've seen that FML so many times... I don't know why it keeps showing up on random for me!

I think we should start referring to the FML moderators and staff as "Pete and Repete"

I really wanted to help you answer your question so I reread the fml a few times and came to the conclusion that "lots of love" makes the most sense with the context. Yep.. lots of love.Yeah let's go with that -.-

I know that, I was just referencing from the past FML because I felt a bit trolly ^^

It's going to be a long journey... Try not to make jokes?

I don't even understand how much texting you have to do to have that for a natural reaction

Maybe she has had so much Botox put into her face that it is physically impossible for her to laugh... ;-)

Highly plausible... That's no laughing matter.

I just wonder if OP means that her coworker says L-O-L or says it as if it were a legitimate word...

Just LOL at every single thing she does. Maybe then she'll see how annoying and stupid it sounds

Nooooo, don't encourage the stupid! It only justifies the behaviour! She says lol, you stone face and stare. Every time.

It appears there is a bit of a problem of which one to go for here. I personally would pause, look at her with a WTF expression, and then say 'Anyway...'

Oh, the joys of digital age.. Not exactly what our forefathers envisioned.

Agree, the forefathers did not envision text language, TV, or Internet ****...ect... However, they did support and envision freedom of expression and speech.

Ben Franklin would be happy as all hell we have ****. He loved the sex. Haha.

You're condemning the digital age on an app created for smartphones? Nope, I don't see any logic flaws there...

Nobody's shunning technology. They're called jokes, brah

Looking back, I wish I had said irony instead. I didn't intend for it to be as harsh as it sounded, but it's not technically irony either. Idk, lack of a better word I guess...

You know you become lazy when you try to make a simple bodily function easier to do...

#8-I agree. The only thing I would find acceptable making bodily functions easier would be if one was chronically constipated. Other than you don't have an excuse!

Slap her next time then say ROFL JK but seriously shut up.

You should only use text message lingo in your conversations. May be this person will eventually understand how annoying it can get!

Perhaps you should ROFLCOPTER at every 'funny' comment she makes? She'll get the hint.

Never underestimate the power of stupid. Odds are fantastic this obnoxious co-worker won't get the hint. Point blank looking her in the face and saying "Please stop that, it's annoying and makes me want to put a cigarette out in your eye", usually loves the problem with subtle clues not being received. ;P
