These days, it seems as though there is a Whatsapp group for everything in your life; family discussions, weekend plans, and, most commonly, plain old gossip. One fact that rings true in all these groups, however, is the presence of these 12 characters. Which one are you?
1. The Good Morning/Night/Afternoon Texter
These people have an ever growing archive of photos celebrating the dawn of a new day or the end of one. Rampant with glittering flowers and smiling babies, they’ve got you covered for all the times of day.
2. The M.I.A. Texter
Missing in action is the perfect title for this texter, they never answer or follow with what is happening on the group chat, and only pop in once or twice a year at most to say something completely irrelevant.
3. The Planner
Commonly texting something along the line of, “Guys, listen up, here is a layout of your plans for the upcoming 6 weeks! Who’s in??”, this texter is always up for an adventure, and attempting to drag the group chat with them.
4. The Meme Enthusiast
This texter is post-verbal, communicating solely in memes from 5 years ago, and, when they’re feeling extra, will use the Whatsapp gif keyboard.
5. The Ghost
Never a word peeped. Never a photo sent. Never a text answered.
6. The Bad News Bearer
These texters will only text when shit hits the fan, otherwise, they’re pretty absent. What separates them from the M.I.A. breed is what they do text upon their return, which is almost always a car accident, a fire, a bombing, or all three packed together in a shit cake.
7. The Pet Owner
Everyone’s favourite, this texter is always updating the group with live footage of their adorable little buddies, and your gallery will be full of fluffy cats and beautiful dogs thanks to them.
8. The one that invites him/herself over
Imagine this: you are happily spending some time alone, taking a self-care day let’s say. Suddenly, your phone buzzes with a notification from these people, targeting you specifically in the group chat, informing you of their unsolicited visit. Cue Psycho music.
9. The Drama Queen
Dramatic exits and tragic essay long texts are these people’s specialty, and any minor inconvenience will leave them offended and leaving the group. .
10. The Night Owl
They’re exclusively awake when every one else on the group is asleep, and they never actually participate in anything planned on the group because they seem to operate in a completely different timezone.
11. The Single Word Texter
They send
texts
one
word
at
a
time.
Your battery suffers, your notifications suffer, your megabytes suffer, but mostly, your soul suffers.
12. The pushy one
“Helloooooo, why isn’t anybody answering??” BECAUSE WE HAVE JOBS AND LIVES NOW BACK OFF.
