Family adds wrong number to their group chat, lets him participate in discussions for months without noticing, wrong number becomes emotionally invested: ‘I know so much about these strangers’

Family group chats are either completely silent except for birthday wishes every few days, or the place where all the family drama happens; there is no in between.

It really all depends on the family, how close they are, and how comfortable they are to air all their dirty laundry on a shared group chat with all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and sometimes even grandparents. Even if your family isn't that dramatic, a group chat with everyone in it can be just as interesting, especially for an outsider.

Why would an outsider get a look inside someone else's family group chat, you ask? Well, you just keep on reading.

The person in the story below was randomly added to a WhatsApp group from an unknown number, a group chat with around 14 people in it, called "Smith family chat". He knew immediately that he had been added by accident, but something stopped him from leaving it. Here this stranger was, able to read all about this family's birthdays, celebrations, failures, complaints, and overall drama. Suddenly, curiously won, and this guy ended up staying in this group chat to see where this could all lead.

The even funnier part was that no one noticed. Not only did no one clock that a stranger was added to the group chat, but it also seemed like they were all sure he was a part of the family. They kept tagging him like he was someone, asking him questions, and letting him weigh in on different disputes. And even though he kept quiet the entire time, he couldn't help but wonder who this family thought he actually was, and whose place he was taking by keeping this up.

Months after this guy was added to the group, one person finally decided to question it, and the response was absolutely hilarious. Keep scrolling to read the rest of the story…
