You Weren't Joking

Everybody says "Just Joking." But are they really? I mean come on, every time they tell you something and then follow it up by "just joking" you know there is a small part of themselves that is congratulating them for their "amazing" joke. "That dress is ugly! ha! I'm just kidding!" No...you're not. That is like saying that you killed some one's dog then saying you were just kidding. Awful. The one that really gets me though, is all the teenagers. Acronyms are the stupidest thing ever invented, except for ASAP, of course. When people write "lol" in a text, it makes me think, "are you really laughing out loud?" And if you are then why don't you just write laughing out loud?!?!?! That, to me, is what this world has come to....pathetic.
