Why does no one make plans in the group chat?
Both at fault
The short answer
Because "we should hang out" is not a plan. Until someone names a day and a place, the court holds everyone responsible.
The ruling
From the public record. Names are replaced with roles.
Small claims division
Case no.PC-2026-00439
The friend v. The group
Filed 10/06/2026
- Plaintiff
- The friend
- Defendant
- The group
Statement of claim
For three months someone writes we should hang out soon and everyone reacts with a heart and then nothing happens. I am tired of being the only one who suggests dates.
Charge
Three months of agreeing to hang out without naming a day, by every member of the chat
Judgment
Both at fault
Group chat found at fault for three months of we should hang out
Sentence
The member who last wrote we should hang out is appointed planner and posts a day, time and place within seven days.
How the court usually rules on this
The court sees this dispute often. It nearly always finds shared fault, because each member waits for someone else to commit. The standard sentence names a planner for the next month and requires a date within a week.
