Ending Conversations
Ever do that thing where you say a joke and everyone laughs nervously but either don’t really get the joke or think it’s not funny? The nervous laughter is inevitably followed by awkward silence.
In the land of instant messaging, laughing seems to be a convenient conversation stopper. Check your history or log files and you will probably find many conversation threads that end with “hehe”, “lol”, or “:)”.
Next time, if you’re IM’ing with someone who you can’t seem to get rid of, try it out.
hehe
