You can die trying to get along with a disagreeable man, ” she said, and I put a star beside it when I wrote it down and then taped it to the rear-view mirror for the rest of the drive. She hadn’t said “abusive, ” I noticed; she had said that just disagreeable could kill you. Debby Bull
About This Quote

She had said that just disagreeable could kill you. The story is a sad one, and the person who died was certainly not disagreeable. He was a good man, a hard worker, and a kind husband. A wife, on the other hand, who had been married to him for years, had left him for another man.

In her grief, she wrote this on a message board, where people could see it and read it. Unfortunately, his family saw it as well and began receiving threatening phone calls. As they tried to flee to another state, they were killed in their car by the very same man who had left his wife for another woman.
