WhatsApp is one of the most used apps for group chats. This is a good way for members of the same family to exchange information and keep abreast of the latest news. In any case, that’s what the user of the Twitter account @Jonnohopkins thought to do by adding his “father” in their WhatsApp family group. Only, several months after the addition, he found out that the one he believed to be his father in the group was in fact quite alien to the family.
The funniest thing in the story is that the “fake daddy” never showed up in the six months he was in the group, although it is likely that he knew he had been added. by mistake in the conversation.

According to the explanation, the intruder was actually a plumber who had done repairs on user’s @Jonnohopkins washing machine many years before.
Two people with the same first name
At first @Jonnohopkins believed he added his father to the group by simply entering his name “Peter”. He never had any doubts about his identity.
In a Twitter post, he explained that his father often called him to ask about things that had already been discussed in the family group. Without being too surprised, he replied to his father that he was in the WhatsApp group and that he was reading the messages posted there. His dad would then ask if he was in the group, but @Jonnohopkins was just blaming his dad’s oversight on age. He also believed that his father’s silence in conversations was attributed to the fact that he was never a heavy chat room user.
The truth was discovered when his sister asked him if he could add their father to the group. It was then that he realized that the number he had added was not that of his father but that of another person with the same first name. He thinks that without his sister the situation could have gone on for years.
But who was the “daddy” of the group?
In December 2013, a plumber by the name of “Peter” went to the man’s apartment to repair his washing machine. This is why the name of the latter was found in the list of his contacts. After being discovered, the plumber was obviously removed from the WhatsApp group.
In his tweet, the man still laughed at the situation anyway and said, “I guess after a while the moment that fake daddy Peter was supposed to let us know we were wrong is past and just accepted his role as a new dad ”. He also added that he felt bad for the fake Peter and that he hoped the latter still enjoyed reading the messages.
The story went viral on social networks and Internet users did not fail to joke on the subject. For example, one internet user said that he would have added the father while keeping the fake Peter out of politeness since the latter had faithfully followed all the conversations of the family for so long.
