Every time somebody sends me a thumb I take it as "whatever you say you fucking dumbass" and it pisses me off.

And ya, I'm aware that that the replies are going to be thumbs, let's see em ya jerks!!!

Never in the history of me sending thumb responses in work chats has it ever meant “whatever you say you fucking dumbass.”

It's primarily used to show acknowledgement. It's the office worker equivalent of "10-4."

Seems like you have some pretty serious projection issues to work out OP lol

Sometimes when I send it to my boss, that's what it means.
