Re: WhatsApp will soon tell you if your message has been read or not
Funny comments on the new feature.
"But honey, I only opened WhatsApp to reply to my boss. He still forwards me every stupid joke he gets. I didn't notice your message about the dinner with your parents!"
"Oh. I thought you did and you ignored me."
"No, no, I swear. Is it too late to reschedule now? Please don't tell me that I'm missing another lovely evening with your mother!"
"See, I had a hunch that you were lying, but now I'm sure. You would never use the word lovely in the same sentence as my mother. Plus, WhatsApp showed me two blue check marks."
"Two what-now?"
"Blue check marks. It means you read the message, moron. Before noon. And you didn't answer until now... Eight in the evening. How convenient!"
He mutters "sh#t!" then hears a click. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
That and many other similar scenarios are bound to start occurring in the near future. For the millions who use the WhatsApp service, a new feature is creeping up into a few conversations: blue check marks. Fear the blue, feel its icy chill run to your core. No more excuses, no more evasions, no more forgetfulness. You did read those messages, and the other person knows.
