How is Eric?''Very tightly wound. Plus, a lot of stuff happened that he'll tell you about.'' Thanks for the warning. I'll go to the house now. You're my favorite breather.'' Oh. Well ... great.' She hung up.

About This Quote

This is an example of when you need to mind your business. It would be inappropriate for you to try to figure out what makes Eric tick, or how he feels about something. You call him with an important question, and instead of answering it, he gets defensive. You can tell that this is not the way he wants to be perceived. He's “very tightly wound” and he doesn’t want you to know about all the stuff that happened that made him so upset.
