If someone says to you, “I probably shouldn’t tell you this,” they “probably” shouldn’t. People who engage in this kind of manipulative gossip need to be rounded up and shipped to their own island where they can torture each other in a “Lord of the Flies” kind of way. Their whispered secrets, nasty rumors and flat-out lies are merely pathetic attempts to puff their egos by deflating someone else’s.
What do the Probably People get out of telling you something they “Probably” shouldn’t? They get the satisfaction of spinning you into the murk of self-doubt. They balloon themselves on smugness with the power of “Probably.” They make themselves feel big by making you feel small.
Don’t have any truck with the “Probably People.” And don’t be one. No one like a gossiping weasel-faced, back-biting jerk.

I probably should tell you that you hit the nail on the head with that observation ... but I probably won't. What gives, Sandy? Who got your undies in a bundle? Do you wear undies?
Well said! I agree. They are the same people that start sentences with "Just between you and me..."
and then shit all over people.
"I probably shouldn't tell you this" but I miss your posts, Sandra. : (
