Today, a friend told me over MSN that her father had died. Trying to express some solidarity, I went to send her a tearful smiley. I accidentally sent her the dancing pig animation instead. FML

It may have cheered her up. You never know. P.S., why would you send a "cheerful smiley" to cheer her up?

"Whoops, I'm so sorry! I accidentally sent the wrong animation. I meant to send... (Insert tearful smiley here)"

Well don't feel to bad OP a lot of people do not even offer condolences to people because they do not know what to say, plus a dancing pig is a tad amusing, humor can help when people have experienced loss or traumatic events

Not trying to be rude or anything but... the last time I used MSN was about 2 or 3 years ago. It's all about Facebook now. Who still uses MSN? Lol

She probably meant tearful smiley to mean :'( (but that would be a tearful frowney, to be correct.)

....and why is the dancing pig even a smiley?

I hope your first thought wasn't to send an emote but to use words... And tearful smiley? Like :') ? As in crying because you're happy? The pig probably wouldn't be as bad in that case.

Isn't there a smiley like this :'(? Although I agree, using a smiley to comfort someone is just lazy.

Exactly. If a friend told me their dad died I wouldn't respond with a :')

Depends on what you thought of their dad.

He was using the word smiley as in emoticon, not an actual smiley face.

if her friend is the kind of person who talks about a death online rather than in person, i really don't think she'll be the type of person to mind if OP even sent a tearful smiley face :')

The "smiley" is just a face. It can be mad crying or smiling, it's just called a smiley.

Who tells someone their father died over MSN?

Maybe OP's friend is from out of the country and can't call or text because international communication is expensive. Just a thought...

Ya, I never thought of that when I read 'friend' I instantly thought, like, neighbors.

Graham, it's too hard to take any of your comments seriously while that cat is saying "HAY GUYS". It's too hilarious and distracting.

Why would you send an emoticon instead of words? I wouldn't feel like you put much thought or emotion into what I said if you send a sad face.
