I hate this with a passion.

If during a discussion that was face to face, someone rolled their eyes at me to signify sarcasm, boredom or dismissiveness then they would wish that they hadn't.

It is extremely rude, bad manners and I can't think why anyone would choose to use it unless they wished to cause offence.



Cue 30 unbelievably droll responses with rolling eyes smileys I suppose.....

I doubt it, you are clearly so hard that everyone is sat at their keyboard crapping themselves in case they ever bump into you.

Depends in what context its meant tho surely ..
If i was having a serious conversation about something id be pee'd if they just rolled their eyes in a dismissive manner ..
If i said something stupid or funny or stated the really obvious id laugh at it

I don't treat Smilies in text anywhere near the same way as I would if the same activity was done face-to-face!

If that was the case, then quite a few more of them would be 'offensive'! Wouldn't you also be offended if someone started whistling? Or practiced their Swing? or Flapped their ears?

The 'oh my god, really' type of gesture, that RollEyes seems to me to be appropriate for, is very easily got across face-to-face, but tricky in pure text!

Perhaps you just get offended a bit too easily!:D
