Group chats: yay or nay?

I hate them and I've only ever been part of 2. One was a group created by one of mums from the Children centre, apparently it was for "sharing banter" - where do people find the time to type to eachother about such mundancies? Have these people got nowt else better to do? The humour in it was juvenile. Anything remotely phallus shaped would induce "Pmsl", "howling" or "nearly wet myself" past the point of exhaustion. I was also in my drug recovery groups whats app, it was monopolised by one particular members tales of "woe is me" and another dozen people all tripping themselves up to muster up a virtual signalling response, especially if any Co ordinators were active. It was an embarrassing thing to be part of.

I was added to two back in 2019 and both related to birthday celebration plans but I didn't engage in either of them apart from giving a thumbs up emoji to confirm dates/times etc.

You've got a group of people, some who have never met each other, who have different levels of humour. One sent a jokey meme but the picture was quite graphic and it was met with radio silence. God knows how she felt after that. Then people starting texting things like 'just seen my boss scratching his balls' with lots of crying with laughing emoji's. Then someone would reply 'my boss stinks of BO today' and it just descended into a slagging off session. One of them sent a pic of a pile of dog 💩 and said 'is this normal or does my my lovely lab lily need a visit to the vet' 😦

Someone asked 'what's everyone wearing' 😴 and one of them nkt only said what she was wearing but added the cost too ...
'I'm wearing a karen millen dress that I got for £149.99 and my £125 shoes that pete treated me too when we went on holiday in paris and stayed at the five star paris ritz hotel' 🙄

Also adults doing all abbreviated crap that teenagers do such as....
"idc, when do we need to tgb on day" 🤔 May as well be in russian 🤷

One person even had a political rant about trump. You could tell it was a copied copy and paste job and that she just wanted ro come across as intelligent. No one responded and she left the chat around two hours after the post😅

I am in a few group chats. I do want to get out of one of the chats but finding a way to do it. Lockdown has meant more group chats for work. Then there are people from work that have added me to other chats. There is one group chat that is really witchy. You know they probably have another chat to ag off everyone in that chat:ROFLMAO: I hate group chats! What can you do when people keep adding you? 👀:ROFLMAO:

I'm not one for joining Facebook groups full of people I know in person either. I find it vomit inducing and need to leave. I've been member to several, the worst was a local one entitled with a really corny self help buzzphrase. It was full of local people from the mental health / ex and recovering addict community. It was worse than their WhatsApp subgroups. I'm lucky I didn't waste away vomiting. I'm all for people bettering themselves but I find claims, sometimes up to the minute and second of false sobriety gag worthy, especially when said few, given the chance would still skin their nans alive for their next fix. The photos grouped arm in arm round the person they proclaim to dislike, tit eat grinning ear to ear on one of their group excursions (getting a group of rattling smackheads who couldn't stand one another on top of Snowden and photograph them engaging in acts of high altitude brown nosing seemed to be a firm favourite, always someone oblivious at the end that hasn't come down from the pill they took at Dreamscape back in '92).

Facebook groups are a whole other level! I'm not on there anymore but when I was I used to find the groups ridiculous. There was one for my local town and the tit people would write in there was embarrassing.

I hate group chats. I got added to one on FB and muted it so I don't get notifications. But my SIL added my husband and I to one on Whatsapp like 2 years ago and I have wanted to leave for ages but apparently Whatsapp sends a notification saying you left?! lol

I’m in a few group chats... 2 with groups of friends, we have a right laugh on there and has really kept me going.

On watts app I’m in a parent group chat which I very rarely join in.... 99% aren’t my kind of people and they literally make me cringe half the time. Other one is a work one for updates on store closures, can’t message on that one though as soon as it started my sister cracked a joke on there (I work with her) and the whole thing was changed so only managers can write :ROFLMAO:

I must be weird too because I like them! I have a couple with my friends from home/uni, some family ones. I have some old ones with my girlfriends when we were planning holidays, which bring back great memories. Also a massive Uni one for my cohort, where we all discuss important things about the uni etc.

they’re so convenient for me and I don’t miss out on important info lol. I do mute them sometimes though when it’s too much talking for my liking haha
 
Should I just leave the one with my SIL and husband?? It hasn't been used since 2019 and was only cause we were visiting her... lol. I like having a nice clean inbox too.

I left it! Lol. I feel it's silly to be worried doing something like that. It's not a crime to clean out your inbox and it's been inactive since 2019 although they will get a notification now 😂
