10 Annoying Things About GroupMe Conversations

lifehack.org

As an Odyssey creator, I rarely have too much to complain about when it comes down to how we communicate and the programs we use. But, for one moment, I'd like to vent about the funniest and most inconvenient app that exists: GroupMe. Most of this will be sarcastic, because I do love using it, but I have a few complaints.

1. No one has a filter

I love you guys, really, but wow. Sometimes you learn more than you expect and the honesty can be a bit surprising. But no filter means no secrets.

2. The notifications

If I leave my phone alone for ten minutes, there is a possibility I will have at least twenty notifications from a conversation. Some times I want to turn notifications off.

3. Lack of privacy

Simply: someone is watching your every comment, and it is a problem sometimes. I just wanted to get opinions in peace.

4. GIF sprees

Sometimes my day cannot be described in a GIF, but I try. There's just so many of them. And a lot of people use similar ones, which can be insane.

5. On going conversations

Y'all are still talking at one am? Really? This is ridiculous. How long can one conversation go on?

6. Scrolling

Geez, my thumb gets a workout trying to catch up on what everyone is talking about. This app is at least makes one part of my hand strong.

7. Lost comments

I'm aware someone said something funny, but now I can't find it. Why? Just, why?

8. Freaking notifications

Yes, this deserves distant points. There's just too many.

9. The amount of emojis used

How many "crying" faces does it take to make a joke funny? I'm unsure at this point.

10. How quickly people reply

I asked one question, and now I can't even answer the first reply. Wow.

Yes, everyone, I love the app. I just thought a mostly satirical list would brighten up someone's day. Maybe I do have a messed up sense of humor, who knows.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1187

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2580

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
