This Mumbai Woman QUIT Her Family WhatsApp Group With A SAVAGE Message And Twitterati Lauded Her
Many of us, willingly or unwillingly, is part of a huge black hole, known as ‘Family WhatsApp group’, what do you say?
Family chat groups are a great way to keep in touch with relatives you may not get to see every day, that hilarious uncle and that cousins who live halfway across the country. But more often than not family groups can be highly annoying with those daily good morning messages, the factually-incorrect forwards and sexist husband-wife jokes.
Not long after there may come the arguments for no reason and before you know it you’ve muted it and long for a way to get out of it. This family groups once joined, cannot be left, unless you resort to being too rude.
Well one gutsy Twitter user, who goes by the name @The_HappyNoodle, decided to do something different. In a text that she later tweeted out, Namaah informed her ‘extended family group’ about her decision, explaining why it was necessary for her to take this step.
However, her way was smart and with love and may just inspire you to do the same, should you choose to leave.
She initially did apologize for not being active on the family group or for that matter on WhatsApp as a whole, but further highlighted that the content shared on the group made her feel uncomfortable and went against her views. Moreover, she also clarified that she was not trying to change anyone’s views and would respectably want to leave the group.
She later took a screenshot of the text captioning it on Twitter, “In today’s personal victory, I quit my extended-family WhatsApp group. I cannot fully express the relief I feel.”

Very well said. I left my school group for the same reason. My parting words were “Leaving due to disproportionate signal to noise ratio.”

Same. Shared it with my mum just now to show her how “I saw it on WhatsApp’ doesn’t make it gospel truth.
