Some time ago, I passed something to a friend. And he sent this to me on IM:
That looked like a pretty upset face to me, so I asked him, "Why so unhappy?"
And he said, that's not an unhappy face...
How is >_< a happy face??
I stared at that emoticon for a rather long time, but could not make it look happy however hard I tried.
I got home and asked WW. He pulled a face to show me. Supposedly it was a smile with the eyes crinkled up. Supposedly.
I was unconvinced. I mean, how could everyone understand that when I couldn't? So I tried asking on Facebook:
Okay, then I edited it because Facebook converted my symbols to its own emoticon. And then someone said the answer was not in the a/b/c/d choices that I put there, so I requested for other explanations too.
Didn't work so well, really. As I have ranted about before (on Facebook, not here):
Not much people enlightened me at the time. The replies were pretty much un-noteworthy, I didn't even save them for my own reference. No help at all.
For this emoticon question, at least I got better responses.
As you can see, I kept trying to remind people to give their own opinions, because they don't have to be the same as everyone else's. Didn't really work.
So it is officially a frustrated emoticon. My eyes aren't wrong! Though it is still dangerous to use it because some people think it is smiling. Imagine showing someone this frustrated face and having them think you are happy.
I really appreciated the answers from those who replied. Really. It's so hard to find answers.
In my bid to get some extra answers I even asked a couple more people on messenger. One replied, the other one didn't. Either she didn't feel like replying after one person had (like I said in my Facebook rant above), or she was busy.
Anyway, the one who replied said this:
And I agree!
I would still steer clear of using this emoticon though.

Question: What does this emoticon mean to you? >_<
a. a happy face
b. an unhappy face
c. an angry face
d. a just-ate-sour-thing face
Because a friend and I have different interpretations...

Didn't work so well, really. As I have ranted about before (on Facebook, not here):
I hate it when I ask a question to multiple people, then after one person replies all the others decide that they don't have to reply any more. I'm not talking about factual questions, I'm talking about questions that different people will have different answers to.
So can someone enlighten me? Why??

And I agree!
I would still steer clear of using this emoticon though.
