There are certain emoticon that come up, I can't help thinking what the person is thinking.

🙂-Normal, friendly person.
🙁-My cat died
😕-Foreign
😡-Complete irrational anger
🙄-Trying to look sarcastic and cool, but actually looks like a douchebag
:apple:-I think about Apple so much I have to put this emoticon in my posts.
 
Oh no! 😱

I've been using the roll eyes smiley to indicate skepticism but it really means something else! 😱

And I use the :apple: a bunch too.
Not because I think about Apple products all the time but because I DON'T HAVE TO

Massive embarrassment smiley time 😱
 
🙂 = Helpful.
😀 = Someone's Apple product has just arrived...
😡 = Ranting...
😛 = Joking!
😱 = Embarrassed
😕 = ?
🙄 = Someone who is up themselves
😉 = Knowing...
🙁 = Someone who just put their iPhone through the wash the day after the warranty expired.
😱 = Freak out!!!
😎 ?
:apple: = Apple is apple.

It's all in the context of the person using the smilies.

The 🙄 is the most versatile of all. It can be self-depreciating, ironic, rude, funny, thoughtful and even neutral when applied non-accusingly. As I said - context.
