    I tend to reserve haha for conveying mildly interesting observations in a nonthreatening manner

    “You must be their best customer to know that, haha”

      Same.

      ‘haha’ is more polite/cordial, more passive and may indicate essentially nervous laughter

      ‘lol’ is more blunt/informal, more aggressive and may potentially indicate mockery
