A group chat is a great way to connect with members of a group, team or organization and quickly exchange information through messages. They’re especially handy for getting in touch with people you might not see as often, like high school or college friends or organizing a birthday party or planning a gift for the said occasion. However, one downside to it is that it doesn’t take much for it to spiral into complete chaos, whether due to an ignorant comment or a wrong text.

Recently, X user posed the question, “What was the incident in your group chat?" that resulted in many answers detailing the unfortunate events that took place in them. Bored Panda handpicked the juiciest ones to quench your thirst for drama. To find them, all you have to do is scroll down.

A study has found that an average person is a part of a whopping 83 different group chats. 

A poll of 2,000 adult social media users revealed that 36% communicate using these chats more than they do in person. 52% opt for group chats instead of phone calls and 26% are more glad to text than have one-on-one conversations. 

The most common themes of group chats were family (66%), friend groups (30%) and night out planning (30%).

Professor of evolutionary psychology Robin Dunbar, who was a part of this study, commented on these findings by saying, “Maintaining contact with our networks is one of the most important things we can ever do. Not just because they are fun to spend time with, but because research shows that having a small, cohesive group of friends and contacts massively improves our mental health and wellbeing—and even our physical health.”

In addition, the study found that 50% prefer group chats out of convenience of sharing pictures and videos and personal updates (56%). Around 53% favour this way of texting because it’s easy to plan things and 35% opt for it so everyone can hear news at the same time.

....................it's porn. It's VERY much in the public sphere already. Maybe not tasteful, but she is absolutely NOT in the wrong on this one.

That could make a fun game: when BP censors a word, list as many things as you can about what it might be. Plan, prawn, pe‍en, peon...

She should have just discussed it with the girlfriend. It's not illegal, to my knowledge, maybe the dad knew.

Aside from the potential first amendment problems if it was personal porn, it's very definitely not illegal to send a copy of pictures or video that somebody sold or distributed commercially.

What a female of the canine type. I hope you dropped her as a friend. That kind of sloot shaming is a travesty. It's not illegal, he obviously doesn't care, why do people think it's okay to do this?

My family has one chat that is just my siblings, mum and I and one that includes my stepdad and step sister because my stepdad doesn't get why we talk about 'unimportant' things or send memes. He just wants to be included in plans for catch ups, which he then forgets until the day before.

I've seen it quite a lot on twitter, only it's worded in such a way that there is no doubt. In this case NTA.

HP sauce? HP printers? Harry Potter? Probably the last one - I got murdered online by someone who insisted that because I had read Harry Potter, I was clearly okay with slavery (because of the house elves).

There is a big difference between a woman beating coworker and a woman-beating coworker.

Only psychopaths send voice notes. If you want to talk, call me. But don't expect me to listen to your stream of consciousness for minutes on end.
