Every WhatsApp group chat comes with its own set of characters. There’s “the silent partner”, who responds to none of the messages yet somehow attends every gathering, “the meme-slinger”, who peppers the chat with a few weekly funnies, and “the absentee”, who’s not been seen in over a year and may or may not still be in the country.
Then there’s “the organiser”. This is the one who gets a poll going to confirm dates, discusses budgets and locations and crucially, calls the restaurant for a table.
