Everyone has WhatsApp problems. You and I have that ONE person in your contact list who was born to make your IM life 'challenging' for you.
And it happens. Every day.
There's a 'friend' who spams you in a group chat, weird 'life threatening' forwarded messages, and MLM salesmen problems... HOW TO TAHAN?
Here's a guide for anyone dying to rise from the ashes of WhatsApp doom, brought to you by an alter ego so snarky it's sinful...
1. When you're added into a group with 100 over participants you don't know
Emoji translation: Heading out the exit door.
Your Walla Walla alter ego says don't feel ashamed of leaving. You'll thank him for being gutsy and 'cold hearted' enough to leave. Most people in that group want to do the same, anyway.
2. When you're being spammed. by. this. one. friend.
Emoji translation: Eat my fist.
Your dear friend just needs some typing lessons. Don't persecute him for this, he just needs some snark in his life to remind him to communicate without hiccups.
3. When your mum sends you the "share-this-message-if-not-you-will-be-in-danger" (but you know it's fake) message
Ah this is a tricky situation, first of all she's your mother. The use of emojis should be clear and understandable. So just give her the basics and give a little hint that warning messages aren't always true.
4. Why does my overly positive relative send me random pictures daily?
It's nice that your relative sends you pictures daily, but you can't be rude and ask her to stop. The solution? Find something to use against the picture so that your relative won't bother you anymore.
5. When an unknown number messages you to promote their product
Emoji translation: Not my cup of tea.
For these situations, keep it short and simple and throw in an emoji or two!
6. When your football kaki teases you saying that Liverpool will win the league this year
Emoji translation: When pigs fly.
You know that one friend who talks about things that won't ever happen? Spice it up with these 3 key emojis... Works every time!
7. When your employee teases you on your receding hairline
Emoji translation: Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
You're the boss and your employee has crossed the line a bit. You don't have to harshly rebuke the employee, sometimes passive aggressiveness helps.
8. When you're just not interested in continuing the conversation
Emoji translation: ZZZZZzzzzzz...
If all else fails with all your hints and comebacks, just use this one. It's direct, clear, and the conversation has to end at some point right?
