Which group-text stereotype are you?

Send this to your WhatsApp group, we dare you…

-

1. AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, HOW MANY NOTIFICATI­ONS DO YOU HAVE?

A Zero. I’ll take any possible opportunit­y to ignore the things I should be doing.

B None, because the past 10 messages were from me.

C Loads – I can never be bothered to open my messages. Sorry.

2. WHAT GETS THE FASTEST RESPONSE FROM YOU?

A Any text ripe for a Kim K ugly-cry GIF.

B When anybody is left blue-ticked for more than five minutes.

C Someone sending a text to make sure I’m still alive.

3. WHAT DO YOU RELY ON THE GROUP CHAT FOR?

A Distractin­g myself from the utter banality of everyday life.

B Updating people on my daily activities, meals, screenshot­s from my ex’s IG…

C Making occasional IRL plans. That’s it. That’s the answer.

4. WHAT’S MOST LIKELY TO STRESS YOU OUT ABOUT YOUR GROUP CHAT?

A No one gets my Mean Girls reference (to be fair, it was from the bonus DVD).

B A 30-minute silence after my “What’s everyone doing this weekend?” text.

C Someone else leaving the chat. I bet that freedom tastes so good.

5. WHAT ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO IGNORE?

A Anyone’s cute baby pics. How am I supposed to make fun of those?

B I read every single message because that’s what friends are for (and they’re usually replying to something I said).

C Basically anything that doesn’t require a quick response.

6. LOOK AT YOUR PHONE: WHAT’S THE LAST THING YOU TEXTED TO YOUR GROUP THREAD?

A A screenshot of an Insta post from @NotAllGemi­nis that felt relevant.

B “Have you guys read any good books lately?”

C I can’t scroll back that far.
