I can’t afford for you clowns to mess around with my business.”Īn incensed Allan Pashby, a writer, said Mic Drop cost him his job. “I sent my articles to my boss and never heard back from her. I inadvertently sent the email using the ‘Mic Drop’ send button,” he wrote.

This is how we're ending every WhatsApp chat - and article - from now on. This argument is over and there's only one way to show it - no, not mature concession, the mic drop emoji.

With the full range of emotions in one set of loveable characters - Hulk: angry, Captain America: noble, Iron Man: smug - the likes of smiley poo, heart eyes and tongue out smiley would never get a look-in again. Let's sign the petition and right that wrong. With the world of emoji having recently gone on an ethnically, culturally and sexually diverse binge, our red-headed - sorry, strawberry blonde (eye roll emoji) - friends are the only minority group overlooked in Pictionary form. When words are too much of an effort, your head is pounding and moving your finger more than once will cause last night's 14 Jagerbombs to make an unwanted reappearance, there's only one emoji we should be turning to, quietly. Please, put an end to the most irritating hashtag of all time replace it with the most irritating emoji instead. And hey, it couldn't look any worse than that Palmer Luckey Time cover. In 15 years' time when we're all sat around ogling a digital recreation of the world already around us, we're going to want our emoji to follow suit. ![]()
