View submission: How awful did people talk pre-social media?

People are less inclined to be directly rude or nasty to your face. That’s why kids used to write notes saying mean crap about other kids in school , or scrawling stuff on bathroom walls.

Over the years I have also noted some people willing to be unkind via email. I think it’s only gotten worse with social media and the ability to be anonymous. There have always been rude angry people, and now it’s easier for them to spew hate. I block people as needed.

I didn’t think about the old bathroom stall wall thing. I bet there was some nasty shit there over the years.
