I hate to admit it, but I was a big Snapchat streak holder in middle school. It was practically my career. I even made my friends log into my account and keep my streaks for me when I would be away.
However, as I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that Snapchat streaks really aren’t all that. It irritates me when someone I barely know tells me ‘don’t lose our streak.’
First of all, I don’t even know you, so I’m not really pressed about it. Secondly, it’s a five day streak. Go touch some grass. Now, don’t get me wrong. I have a 1,750 day streak with a best friend of mine and I want to keep it. That’s different.
However, if I barely know you and you’re tweaking over a streak that hasn’t even made it to a week, I’m gonna need you to stop pestering me and let me live my life. I can promise you, I couldn’t care less about that streak.
While I’m on this soapbox, let me just say this: If you have Snapchat+, and you’re tweaking out on me for half-swiping, you will be left on read. I half-swipe so I can prepare a response so I’m not sitting in the chat for a full five minutes. I’ve legit had people tweak out on me for half-swiping. I promise you, I will keep on half-swiping. You and your Snapchat+ can deal with that. I need time to formulate a response.
