Never Never Never Never Never

I always think people are nice 
until they aren’t.

Most are nicer in person than on the phone.

Real meanness comes out in texts or other writing.

If you have a problem with someone
go see them

If there is a pandemic
pick up the phone

If you have an I-phone
face time them

If you do not at least speak to them on the phone.

Never Never Never Never Never  put anger into written words.
It comes across as much more hostile and unkind than it was ever meant to be.

Sure once, but when they ring your doorbell and punch you in the nose you will know not to do it twice.
