The Wrong Emoji

Have you ever made a big error in what emoji you used here on Mylot, or in a text? It doesn’t happen often if I am using a desktop, but I have a Kindle and phone at home to use the internet. Someone was talking about a death in the family, and so accidentally my finger hit the laughing emoji; I caught it soon after, before someone saw it.
Then another time someone declared their cancer is in remission, and I hit the crying emoji. Once again, I caught it before anyone could respond to it.
What are some of your wrong emoji stories? I’m sure a lot of people don’t even use emojis; how often do you?

I use emojis all the time. I hope people would tell me if I've accidentally used the wrong one in a response/comment here on myLot.

When it first emerged a an emoji I thought the poop emoji was a chocolate kiss and added it to my messages to friends and loved ones...and then my daughter hilariously corrected me.

That often happens with me when I am mylotting on my smartphone. Luckily, I corrected it before posting.
I use the emojis on myLot code very much, but my use is limited to a very few ones.

I don't think I have any stories myself. I don't use emojis very often. But that would be annoying to accidently hit it and not know... I sometimes end up with typos which is just as annoying lol

At least on myLot it is easy to edit. I really hardly use emoji's.

None spring to mind, but I know it has "almost happened" where I would have sent the wrong one like that. The Kindle often makes me hit the wrong emojis.

I had members who made a mistake with their response so I just ask them why they give a wrong emoji

I have caught the emoji mistake a few times and cringe about the ones that I have missed.

I can relate and always do a correction before sending the lol emoji sometimes in place of the cry emoji and the thumbs up sometimes I accidentally press thumbs down

Good thing you changed those before someone saw it.
Glad, it hasn't happened to me.

I wish I had a good story! I just know I've used wrong emojis before, but quickly edited to fix them.

I do not remember doing that but would be pretty embarrassed if that happened. Good you saw your mistakes on time

i don’t really use emojis in texting or social media, but here I use them often, the good thing is writing here can be edited. I don’t think I have any wrong emoji stories. And if I find someone using the wrong emoji, I'm okay with that.
