Misinterpretation held by many people's moms - "lots of love" instead of "laughing out loud." Best to use it in a situation where "lots of love" would be very empathetic and appropriate, and "laughing out loud" would be incorrect, disrespectful, and downright horrific.
I heard your brother passed away. LOL

I'm so sorry that you were in a tragic boating accident and are now paralyzed from the neck down. Call me if you need anything LOL

The term used that is slightly nicer than saying, "Now that just wasn't funny." Not to be confused with 'lol' alone, without a period.
Over text:
"What kind of key opens a banana?"
"I don't know, what?"
"A Mon-key!"
"Lol."
