January 4, 2007If It Was You, Don’t Do That

Filed under: Poison Phrase of the Week by merylrunion |

“Are you the one telling people they get free shipping?” Joe asked Cindi? Cindi never would have done that, and denied it three times, but even so, Joe closed the conversation by saying,

-Well, if it was you, don’t do that.

It was clear to Cindi that despite her denials Joe did not believe her. The remark was unnecessarily dismissive.
