1. The no one else cares.
"Little Johnny has a runny nose so won't be at school today, I am taking him to the Dr at 10, will keep you posted". What is this about? Are you too lazy to message the teacher privately, are you looking for sympathy, or do you genuinely believe that this is information for the entire class parents to know?
2. The long string of thoughtful replies
"Feel better soon Johnny", "Sally was at Dr yesterday must be going around", and of course all the heart felt emoticons. By doing this are we encouraging this behaviour,or are we genuinely supporting Johnny mom. I often feel guilted into responding as well, will my lack of response be noted.
3. The spin off "private" conversation
"Which Dr are you taking him to, I am looking for a good GP". This then explodes into a long conversation between 2 people in the chat. Message her privately or as my husband tells me daily, just phone her.
4. The late responder
Five hours after the chat about Johnny's runny nose some one is on lunch and decides to give 2 cents worth on the forgotten conversation. Yes, the entire cycle starts again.
6. The Neville no friends
A question or comment is put on the chat and hours go by and nothing. Double blue tick is there, so it has been received and read, but still nothing. Eventually the do gooder in the group can't take it anymore and will acknowledge it with a Big Hug.
7. The night owl and the early bird
I can speak for many when I say, at midnight and 4:30 am. No one cares.
8. The uncomfortable guilt
We are all caught up in the random ramblings of group chat and suddenly someone leaves the chat. That moment of whoops pissed them off, brief pause, then the blabbing continues as if the person was never there in the first place.
9. The voyeur
Yip, they are still there reading every single line.
10. Keep Calm and silence your group chats!
