I was just talking about this the other day with a friend. I think it is super annoying. Don't say LOL to me unless you are honestly laughing out loud. The worst was when my mom first started texting... She used it even when it doesn't make sense.. "hi hon, lol. How's school going? Lol. I miss you can't wait to see you soon lol"... Drove. Me. Crazy. She has since changed her ways and only uses it occasionally.
