Why would someone repeat something they overheard when they know that no good can come from the retelling?
A woman I know used to give her [20 something] granddaughter money in a card for birthday and Christmas.
One time the grandmother didn’t have the right change at the time, so sent the card (no cash) in order that the card arrive in time.
The daughter, mother of the granddaughter, delivered the card. The granddaughter opened the card and said, in front of her mother, “Where’s the effing money?
The daughter ran and told her mother, the grandmother what was said and the granddaughter never got another gift.
Grandmother – sends card
Daughter – delivers card
Granddaughter – opens card, complains, and is narked out by her own mother, to her grandmother
Why would anyone do that? To what purpose?
