Those pesky grey ticks
Do you know those ticks that were on your dog when you were a kid? Those grey ones that would suck their blood till engorged and pop when you press them? I bet you didn’t like them much. Neither did I. But now, there are other types of grey ticks that are quite not cute!
People hide behind the oddest of things, but some are so obvious you are left to wonder… why are you hanging yourself out to dry while trying to hide? I am talking about grey ticks on WhatsApp. If you ask me, most people who have grey ticks on WhatsApp are hiding something. Don’t ask me what! Me sijui…
Lakini, why have grey ticks? Just why??!
You see, if I send you a message and I cannot tell whether you have read it or not, then I am just there chilling and waiting for you to finally open my message na kidogo kidogo you have replied. I feel some kind of way about that, let me not lie. Kwanza if it is something to do with work – eish!
Then there are these times you ask someone you have some beef with an urgent question, and they have the grey WhatsApp ticks, so you are never sure whether they read your message or not, but they decide not to answer, and you are left hanging. In the first place, you had decided to message them because you would rather not talk to them! … Or are these grey ticks for these types of situationships? Let me call them “sumbuationships”.
Other times, the person decides to be grey ticks in the morning and blue ticks in the afternoon, depending on their mood, but not considering the mood of those they are dealing with. I mean – I feel like a yo-yo being bounced this way and that way.
Bottom line – if you do not want to communicate with me (or someone else), just let me know that you are ignoring me outright by opening my messages and not replying to them. This way, I will know the next course of action to take, which many a time is none.
Blue ticks rule!
