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
