SCREENSHOTS: The most epic family WhatsApp group showdown!
Oh how we all loathe a WhatsApp group...
WhatsApp has quickly become the main means for communication for all of us. Whether it be at work, with our significant other or our friendship circles.

We get it, WhatsApp works, but can we be real here for a quick second?
It can also be high key super annoying... and when we mean annoying, we mean REALLY - truthfully, could anything be more painfully annoying?!
For today's illustration, we are going to be focusing on the most frustrating on the food chain of WhatsApp groups...

That is, of course, the family WhatsApp group.
You were having a perfectly beautiful day and then out of nowhere, your mother (bless her heart) decided that the family needed to connect...
And so she created a family group chat. The profile picture is a less-than-flattering, probably highly-pixelated picture of when she managed to get the gang together and took a snap.

She is probably the main contributor in the group and gets very upset when you do not acknowledge her good morning messages.
There is no getting out of this... believe us, J Sbu has tried and we are just happy that he is here today to tell the story.
Stacey and J Sbu decided to get in our business this Tuesday afternoon by asking the East Coast Radio Facebook community to share what is currently popping up in our family WhatsApp group - and the comments have us in stitches!
A few of our favourites are listed below:
- I left our family whatsapp group thanks to that 1 uncle and aunty who send 50 good morning messages at once. Followed by those dreadful "happy Monday " , "Happy Tuesday " messages."
- The fight started when I removed everyone from the group…
- My ex family has a whatsapp group, i was never invited... Cos I'm the family rebel. They hate me for whatever reason because they God to be judging others and they themselves are all saints. I would have declined anyways..
- I think it's still coming and very soon😆.
There are 9 of us, grandkids and have decided to contribute towards a stokvel
to buy meat at the end of the year. Only 4 of us have been contributing since
January. We are planning to remove the quiet ones by June and up our
contributions.
The real MVP (who supplied screenshots) has to be KZN listener Ayanda:
Note* We have hidden the identity of the family members within the chat to protect their privacy.
