Why do people think sitting down is better to hear bad news?

[petchick]

because they might get weak?

 

[Stank]

so they don't pass out and fall...or start going off on the person who told them

 

[Latin G]

you eva try telling a black woman standing up her son just got shot?

 

[™Kaaay ♪♫]

so that they won't fall down and hurt themselves
sometimes bad news is too overwhelming that the person receiving it looses it
