Who else hates the rolling eyes smilie? (1 Viewer)

[teapot2001]

Does anyone else dislike this smilie besides me? It comes across as unfriendly and rude to me, and most of the time it seems unnecessary. I've had one or two of them directed at me, but all of them were unwarranted or mistakingly used.

YES! Very rude.

Updated list of things people have tried to get banned and/or complained about in just the last month or so:
1. Word Association thread
2. Threads celebrating post count milestones
3. Tournaments in the Polls Area
4. The rolling eyes smiley.
Now, I hope you understand and take this in the friendly spirit with which it is intended, but there can be only one response to your post: :rolleyes

It is rude. It's a way of disagreeing with someone without outwardly insulting them. And with that:
:rolleyes

 

[NickSo]

I like to use it, but not often, and usually not to veterans here... I just wish boards like IGN or MSN chat had that smiley... Sometimes people are so dumb hey deserve the :rolleyes

Rain,
You need to add one to your list:
5. Coupons and Bargains
It was removed from the Forum recently because some suggested a low post count meant low usefulness. Happily it was reinstated very quickly in response to the protests

I've only stopped by to observe the inevitable roll eyes convention.
That little animated version of the smiley always makes me grin with it's wry bemusement.
What is that cliche, you can always tell how big someone is by what bothers them.
It's funny because it's true.

I didn't know it was even possible to still double post, DAMN! :rolleyes

You know for some reason I miss the drool smiley, I liked that one, it looked a bit like me too.
The sleepy smiley zzzzzzzzzz was great too, what happened to the poor bugger, died in his sleep maybe?
What we really need around here is head exploding smiley and a foot falling on head smiley.
If we can get enough diverse smileys we can post in smileys instead of words, a colorful way of communicating with each other, and this is a good one how about a custom smiley to represent certain members?
I'll be the yummy member, I mean yummy smiley!!

I love the rolleyes! I don't think I've ever directed it at a specific member, but it sure comes in handy when I want to illustrate sarcasm or derision in one of my more nasty movie reviews.
(I also love the laugher too!)
Only smiley I really don't like is the jaw-dropper.

Something like this Steve?

 

[Ken_McAlinden]

It is rude and it hurts my feelings. We should start a petition to ban it. :rolleyes

Thats the one Oliver, although I would prefer that gif from Scanners, erm on second thoughts.
Is there a pulling your hair out smiley?
A smirking smiley?
A I'm not listening smiley (smiley with hands over ears and humming).?
A spitting smiley?
I really miss the sleeping smzzzzzzzzz........

 

[Artur Meinild]

I think the rolleyes smiley is ok. I've gotten a few myself, but I could only laugh at it afterwards... :rolleyes

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

I really like this one:

. Even worse connotations than our old friend Use the headbanging smiley when talking to some folks about MAR etc. is like banging your head against the wall...

 

[Bruce Berti]

I use to really like the rolling eyes smiley until one day I came home and found him in bed with my wife! :rolleyes

 

[Dave Poehlman]

Dont think of it as a "roll eyes" smiley.. think of it as a "looking up" smiley.

You can probably find any and every smilie you want/need/desire/lust-for here, at Crack's Smilies. Enjoy (and I like the rolly-eyes smilie)
