Dear GroupMe...

You are the worst.

Dear GroupMe...

Dear GroupMe,

I really really really dislike you...

No one likes being in a group message, so how you have become this successful baffles me.

I mean how you created a successful business on making an app for something that no one likes being a part of blows my mind.

Group messages are the bane of my existence. I really only ever want to be in a group message to relay critical information to multiple people who need to know to save time. I do not want to be in a group message to just chat. I don't want to receive 10 texts a minute about 10 different topics from 10 different people.

I have enough social anxiety as it is, I really don't need my phone to be constantly buzzing. On top of that, I really don't want to look down and see a red circle with "247" written in it.

So, GroupMe, how you made a business out of feeding on the worst invention from Apple, I don't understand. But good for you.

Everyone has your app because everyone has that one group that they have to be a part of and has 25+ members. So, everyone looks to you. And unfortunately, that keeps the business of group messages in business.

But, please know how much I dislike you. I did not buy your app out of choice, but necessity to be able to function in society. I do not keep your app out of choice. If I had it my way, you would be deleted, as would Group Message on Apple.

In conclusion, I hate you.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
