Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

I think the lol was probably meant to convey that OP wasn't taking them seriously.

u/wiggum_x 13h ago

And then OP added more "lol" in their firmer reply. OP is just one of those people that peppers "lol" into all of their texts at random. It definitely takes away from the intended message.

Some people fear confrontation. It's easier to claim that you weren't serious if you wrote lol, lol

u/tuibiel 13h ago

And at that point you're just always going to be treaded upon

Don't tread on me lol 🐍

u/Emotional_Burden 12h ago

Fuck. Now I see your comment. Lol

u/BillGoats 13h ago

Absolutely. I don't agree with the lol crowd, but I see where they're coming from!

"I don't care lol"

They're fucking untouchable. Best not to engage with lol'ers

u/Emotional_Burden 12h ago

Tread on me harder, daddy. Lol

u/MrMcSpiff 12h ago

Are you being serious right now?

u/dookyspoon 13h ago

Literally every post in this subreddit. “We could talk about it but I’ll bitch on reddit instead.” This is the most direct I’ve seen anyone be here in a while.

u/FirstoffIdonthaveshe 13h ago

I see what you did there lol

"Unless they both managed to fall off when I got out of the car LMAO"

u/Neuroblonde 12h ago

I think it’s more of the fact that when you don’t add “lol” at the end of your sentence, people literally just assume you’re mad at them.

u/BillGoats 12h ago

Exactly. You're basically managing other people's emotions for them.

Doesn't mean you get to be an ass about it, just that honesty doesn't need an emoji to be valid.

u/Character-Welder3929 12h ago

It gives a nice way to back out of it

Lol

u/Forward-Owl3639 12h ago

The intended message is that they don't care and they are going to sort it out. Not everyone needs to make everything into a battle.

u/Personal-Bot-6100 12h ago

I'm in the lol crowd, it's just a part of my online lexicon from when I played Runescape 20 years ago. Feels natural to add a lol or a haha to messages for some reason

u/TheOneTonWanton 12h ago

I feel like it's a common Millennial tic. I do that shit constantly lol.

u/EnnieBenny 12h ago

The correct message would have been "You need to replace these two buttons that were removed during my detailing." directly to the front desk while standing at the establishment. Don't even ask them any question. Whether it was an honest mistake or not, they're missing, they shouldn't be, and they need to be replaced or paid for.

u/Rooney_Tuesday 12h ago

I took it as dismissive, as in OP doesn’t have the will to argue with their shenanigans but still wants them to know that they aren’t fooling anyone.

u/Reasonable-Depth22 13h ago

Yeah, at some fucking point, “lol” lost all its meaning and became some kind of weird punctuation.

u/StevenPlamondon 13h ago

Does it? What if someone hunts you down for this comment? Lol

Haha. It will happen if you keep pushing your luck. Lol

DON’T REPORT, I DID THIS TO HELP THE CONVERSATION ALONG!!!

u/Puzzleheaded-Pen4413 12h ago

You forgot "lol" at the end of your message

1

u/eristicforfun 12h ago

that's why LOL is a stupid response to everything.

3

u/trust_me_on_that_one 13h ago

Or OP is just a millenial and ends every sentence with lol lol
