Misunderstandings and Communication in Conflict Resolution
Beatrice:
What is your problem?
Roy:
I think you're the one with the problem. Beatrice, I've got no idea why you're mad about what happened on the bus. You're not the one who got choked, and you're not the one who got punched in the nose. So I'm only going to say this once. If I did something to upset you, I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose. Next time you've got a problem, just tell me, and then we'll sit down and talk about it like civilized human beings.
Beatrice:
Civilized.
Roy:
Are we straight on this?
Roy:
Good. I'm glad we had this chance to get to know each other just a little bit better.
Soccer Pal:
