Long term sarcasm or short burst of anger

Wrong. When I wrote the above quoted bit, two people came to mind (one an extended relative…and another a former friend). Both whom I know will have the angry outburst in public…and will ALSO talk about you behind your back even if they’re just venting.

How do I know this?

Well, I’ve seen the individual have an angry outburst toward another person in public…and the individual also talks negatively about the same person behind his/her back…venting out the frustration even after the angry outburst.

If you don’t live with the person and are not around them often, there’s no guarantee they don’t or won’t do that.
