It seems as if group chats are the only way we mass communicate now. Long gone are the days of texting everyone in your contacts the same thing so they know what’s going on. I know that I’m personally in four group chats I use regularly, and the moment we start planning anything, things get hectic. People aren’t responding, things get off subject, anything and everything happens except actually planning what’s going on. At this time, all you want to do is mute the group chat but you know as soon as you do, you’ll forget to check it and get lost in the conversation and by that point you’re already 158 texts behind. It’s pretty annoying. But it’s not as annoying as:
1. Stepping in a puddle while wearing socks
2. When your earbuds get tangled in your pocket
3. People who don’t eat string cheese the right way
It’s string cheese!!!!! You’re supposed to peel it!!!
4. People who don't use their blinker when turning
5. Buying a bag of chips and only getting air
6. Getting your shoelace wet and having it hit your ankle repeatedly
7. Waking up at 8:30 on a Saturday morning when you totally could’ve slept until at least 11
Thanks, Mom and Dad.
8. When the rings of your binder start acting up and don’t align
9. Mass class emails asking for notes
I don’t think anyone will help you even if you do send the email five times, I'm sorry.
10. When your pencil does that weird thing and has a little hood after you sharpen it
Why have you forsaken me?
11. When someone turns off the faucet but it’s not completely off so you still hear it dripping
12. Walking behind someone slow, and there’s no room to move around them
My legs are too long for this — I’m sorry, but move.
13. Opening the pack of Oreos to see that there’s none left
Honestly, just throw them away!
14. When you order a sandwich and it comes with a pickle on the side and makes your sandwich taste like pickles.
This might just be me, though.
15. Seeing you have 500 missed texts in your group chat
What happened while I was at work?
I see being in a group chat as a blessing in disguise. Yes, while they are quite annoying, they are not as annoying as some other things we have to deal with. And in the end, they’re a great way to rally a group together and a fun way to communicate with friends.
