The Emoji Overload Disaster

Sent a client email with what I thought was a professional emoji (just a simple smiley face). They replied with 47 emojis. I responded with 2. They sent back 89 emojis. This escalated quickly. Now our entire email thread looks like a teenager's text conversation. My boss is going to see this and think I've lost my mind. But honestly, it's kind of fun. We're now communicating entirely in emoji and somehow getting work done. This is either genius or madness.

    I'm dying! This is exactly what happens when you give clients too much freedom.

      This is the most relatable thing I've ever read. Emoji warfare is real!
