Curious to know if I'm the only person irritated by this.
To me, it makes them come across as smug and ultimately very stupid.
Or am I just bad-tempered today?

:rolleyes:

If anyone who does it answers, perhaps knowing why you do it might help....

If you want to know what the next political move will be, ask yourself what will suit the banks, and behold, the answer will come to you.

Very rarely use them. The roll eyes one is an annoying one. Sometimes I use the one to indicate laughter if I want it to be absolutley clear that I am not trying to be a nob, but am trying to be flippant.

I think it's used to express non-specific "here we go again" - not particularly offensive, IMO.

I find <_< to be more grating, as favoured by those who think you have an agenda when the sad truth is you're just killing time or yanking their chain.

Nothing wrong with emoticons in moderation, it's friendly. MrPin ends every sentence with an explanation mark! That's nutty.
