Hey Google, Fix My Crab
March 13th, 2010My girlfriend and I communicate through GChat while I work in my cave. We are fans of using emoticons in conversation and often use the crab emoticon to finish our sentences. The GChat emoticon for the crab is V.v.V. and here are the results.
Girlfriend’s Crab

My Undeveloped Crab

This has been going on for at least 2 months now. Randomly one day my crab mutated during chat. I checked within the GMail settings thinking that it was related to an emoticon setting but didn’t find anything. I’m waiting for the day my crab emoticon is fixed.
Note: The problem still occurs on PC, Mac, Work, Home, and a cleared cache.
In hopes that a Googler comes across this entry somehow in their database or query. Please give me an answer by responding to the comment form below. I know of many who are puzzled by this crab emoticon problem. Thanks!
07/15/10 – My broken crab mysteriously fixed itself. What makes this more strange is that my girlfriend now has the broken crab emoticon.
