  • I want the good news first so I’ll be in a good mood and can prepare for the bad news.

  • Life is a shit show regardless of what happens when

  • I like problem solving a lot. So give me the bad news (we will figure it out ) then celebrate with the good news. πŸ€—πŸ‘

  • I'd rather have my distress turn into optimism so bad >> good I guess.

  • I'm a bit of a pessimist so I tend to want bad first and then be soothed by the good. Same way I tend to eat what I like the least first and save the very best for last. Lol I eat all the gross edges of a poptart first, so I can relish the yummy middle at the end.

  • I don't have much of a preference... but depending on how bad the bad news is, I may not stick around to hear the good news πŸ˜†

    @pmvines is right though, one man's good news is another man's bad news.. the assumption of news being good or bad is being made by they who are delivering the messages.

  • one man's good news is another man's bad news

    Yup.

    Sometimes looking for the good is an exercise in mental gymnastics. For example:

    News: β€œHey your work place just burned down.”

    Bad News: You work from home.

  • If you could give it to me in a sandwich... That's my preference... A lil good on both sides of the bad. πŸ˜† It makes it a little easier... That's how I've always handed out criticism... Two good qualities and something to work on in the middle.
