What's the most annoying way people use WhatsApp to send messages that are too demanding or high-maintenance?

The most annoying way people can be demanding or high-maintenance on WhatsApp is by sending frequent, urgent requests or requiring immediate responses for non-urgent matters. For example, messages like, "I need this information right now!" or "Why haven't you replied yet?"—especially when the request is trivial or the sender doesn't respect reasonable response times—can be particularly frustrating.

This behavior can create pressure and stress, especially if it feels like the sender is not considering your availability or workload. To handle these situations:

1. **Set Boundaries Clearly**: Politely but firmly communicate your limits. "I'm currently tied up with other commitments, so I won't be able to respond immediately. I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

2. **Prioritize Requests**: If the demands are frequent or overlapping, prioritize them based on urgency and importance. "I'll address your request as soon as I finish up my current tasks. Thanks for your patience."

3. **Encourage Reasonable Timing**: Suggest a more appropriate time frame for responses. "Can we discuss this tomorrow? I need to focus on other tasks right now."

4. **Offer Alternatives**: If you can't meet their demands, suggest other resources or solutions. "I might not be able to help with this right away, but you might find [alternative solution] useful."

By setting clear boundaries and managing expectations, you can handle high-maintenance communication more effectively while maintaining a respectful dialogue.
