The panic is real.
Yesterday, WhatsApp was down for an hour or so. Whenever that happens, for some reason, we never let it be... something has to be done! We found that these are the procedure we go through every time WhatsApp decides to go on vacation for a little while.
1) Whether you're on 3g/4g or Wi-Fi, we can't help but turn them off on our phone and wait for like a second. Then we do it like 200 times again.
2) I'm sure if the first point didn't work, we decide to turn off our phone entirely. Maybe it just needs a quick nap for it to re-energize or something.
3) We have to use our alternative chatting methods, anything! Messenger, skype, viber... maybe even, dare I say - TEXT MESSAGES! :O
4) Sometimes we get so paranoid, we try to recharge our bundle.
5) Reaching out to our fellow whatsappers and asking them if they are going through the same problem (That's where messenger and other source of texting play the role).
6) Let's not forget the gibberish we send to our friends to check if it's delivering or not (Jkjandjka or uyuwu or just a simple letter).
7) In extreme cases, we might even Uninstall WhatsApp& Re-download it.
8) In case of Wifi. We remove the Wifi Cable and wait for like 10 minutes to plug it back (we probably also do that when Wifi is down).
9) We resort to other method of entertainment, such as staring at a wall or sleeping... you know, fun stuff!
10) We call Alfa or Mtc? Maybe? I just needed a 10th point. J
So, we can all agree that technology is pretty much taking over our lives? Okay great!
