What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? So apparently, research says that if you ask for forgiveness using long words, people are more likely to believe you. Big, complicated, sesquipedalian apologies (yes, I went there) supposedly sound smarter and more convincing. But here’s the […]
There’s a certain art form to receiving random texts that say everything and nothing all at once. You know, those delightful little nuggets like “nothing’s going on” or “everything’s a mess” with absolutely zero context. No explanation. Just… life served up on a platter with a side of […]
Most people these days far prefer to text than call someone. Picking up a phone call is such a chore. And, when the call had not been agreed to beforehand it’s an even more agregious act and chore. Nowadays, people just want to send 200 characters and feel […]
