Erma BombeckWritten on her tombstone: "I told you I was sick.
About This Quote
"I told you I was sick" is a phrase that people hear all too often. It's a phrase that's meant to be comforting, but it's a phrase that's also a lie. People who hear it don't realize that their friend hasn't been ill. They've been lying to them...
and people who hear this will think their friend is a liar. This means the person hearing this is likely going to turn against the person who said it. That's not okay, but it also isn't okay if people think you're a liar for telling the truth.
