When someone says, “I have good news and bad news” which one do you ask for first, and why?

[ElenaSeluna]

[MrChinaski]

Good news.

Then, hopefully, the Earth will open up and swallow me whole and I won't have to hear the bad news...

... unless the bad news is 'You'd better move fast or the Earth will swallow you whole...' I guess. Seems an unlikely coincidence.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Bed news first. For the same popular reason.

[queenofcardio]

I prefer the bad first so I can be distracted with the good news. Sometimes it helps soften the blow.

[Abbycado]

Always good. Then, I walk away before the bad. XD

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

😂😂

[Abbycado]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy solid strategy. 👍

[glennos89]

I would ask the bad news first to end with the good news.

What about you?

[ElenaSeluna]

Good news then I’ll distract you from telling me the bad ones 😄

[glennos89]

I'm not easy to distract so tell me how you're going to do that then🤔

[ElenaSeluna]

You already distracted.. and you didn’t tell ne the bad news 😄

[glennos89]

You're right! Your profile picture did get me distracted at first haha

[ElenaSeluna]

Good 😌

[Cyfris]

The bad news so I can start to formulate a solution unless the good news is the bad news is a lie just to see how I react then fuck you I don't any of your news.

[abc3643]

The good news: You have no more bills to pay!

The bad news: You're dying and that will seriously cut down on your expenses.

[Keyboardkat]

I'd take the bad news first, because that way I get it over with, and there is still the good news to look forward to.

[HawkPerception]

I'm the kind of guy that saves the best food for last for the best aftertaste. It applies to all aspects in my life.

[ohsheeT]

I would ask what the good

News is
i will wait for the bad news when I get it or just give me both

[Unycorn]

Bad news... so anything good that lights t h e dark.

[egarcia1360]

Recency bias says bad news first, every time :)

[OneViewpoint]

Doesn't matter. Just spill it all. I'll react where I can make a positive difference.

[LadyBecks]

I'll pick the bad news first, in hopes that the good news can pick up my mood after hearing the bad.

[Still-alive]

Bad news so i can end on a high note.

unless the bad news is that bad :o

[queenofcardio]

Jinx!

[Still-alive]

@queenofcardio lol we got very similar minds it seems :P

[queenofcardio]

Great minds think alike @Still-alive

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@queenofcardio actually, this whole page contains only great minds thinking alike

Killjoy, me? Rude.

[queenofcardio]

@Maybe_Maybe_not you're chill 😎

[TonyMetal___86]

The bad news because the good news might heal me from the bad one unlike hearing the good news than destroy it with the bad news but in the end you have to see the impact of both miss elena selOOna 😌

[AviatorTom]

Bad news first. We remember best the last thing we hear, which is the good news.

[Sunnyrjs]

Depends on the kind of day I am having.
If it is a rough one i would rather hear the bad news first and get done with it.
If i am having a good day I would want to delay hearing the bad news as much as possible.

[Alex-Snow]

I'll go with good news and tell them to skip the bad news if possible.

[12karen]

The good….
A moment of happiness before the sadness…

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Bad news because I want to kinda easier the pain of the bad news with good news.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I always want the bad news first so I can finish on a positive

[Anonymous]

First the bad news, so that later, when I hear the good news... I feel a bit better.

[Nikki1989]

Give me the bad news.

[exitseven]

Lets get the bad news out of the way/

[Jennz6]

I don’t want to hear about bad things

[Ms_Facesitter]

The bad news so I can end on "Hope"

[FunkyMonkee]

Bad. Maybe the good will outshine the bad.

[AngryCarl3]
