About
The Person Facepalming emoji (🤦) is pure exasperation crystallized into digital form—that moment when someone does something so predictably ridiculous that your hand magnetically meets your forehead. It's the visual equivalent of a deep, weary sigh, perfect for those times when words simply cannot capture your disbelief at the sheer absurdity of the situation unfolding before you.
