Another day in Paradise! / Living the Dream!: I want to die
You got it!: I hate you for asking me to do this
I'd love to: I hate you
Of course!: Only because this is actually my job
I can check: Why would you ask me to ask someone else a question? You just added one more step into this process so now I gotta ask somebody then go back to you, then you're gonna have additional questions, then Ima have to go back to this person, then back to you. It makes no sense quite honestly and I need you to stop.
Best, Sabreena: I have to say this
No problem!: This was an inconvenience
Stay tuned!: Stop harassing me about this. I will send it to you when it's done.
Happy Friday!: After 6 p.m. we're strangers for two days.
QQ: This is not a quick question and it will probably result in several follow up questions
GENERAL

Say word: Oh, aight cool
Lol: That wasn't funny - kinda irritating actually
LOL: You wild as hell
You wild as hell: Either you're really funny or you need to stop
Lmao: That was funny but I'm not actually laughing out loud or text equivalent of upside-down smiley
HAHAHA/Hahahaaha: Ok that was actually funny
Will do: Probably won't
Wyd tho: Respond to me but don't actually tell me what you're doing
Goodnight: This conversation is over
GM FAM: It's not a good morning
I'm in the Uber: It's about 5 mins away from my crib
I'll call an Uber: It's probably Lyft but definitely not a Via
No worries: Goodbye.
I feel you: I either have no idea what you're talking about or maybe I can actually relate but it's not deep enough for me to comment any further.
Ok: You're dead to me
