What is something nice that you tried to say to somebody that got all screwed up?

[exitseven]

Did you ever say something nice to someone but they somehow took it the wrong way?

Yeah I told my half native ex don't be an Indian giver and how that blew out hahaha it was an accident. Cause teacher use to say that to us. I never put two and two together until I said it to her but I meant don't take my stuff lol but damn my third grade teacher screwed me on that one lol

[exitseven]

Thsat is really funny., It is amazing all the things that we used to say that you cannot say anymore.

[Fuentes]

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. One time I sent a girl a really sweet and beautiful song to cheer her up, and she got offended by something in the lyrics. Like wtf?

[exitseven]

I always say that no good deed goes unpunished.

[Jamie05rhs]

@exitseven True, unfortunately!

[Jamie05rhs]

Thanks for the MHO.

It has happened to me few times when I meant to say something sweet in hope to make them feel good but it backfired me. You'd think only people who doesn't know you would react like that, right? Sadly it even happened in case of my last best friend and also housemate, lol.

[Genie23]

It makes me feel sometimes should I even bother to put efforts in making someone happy or their life better? Because you never know how someone might take it in the wrong way but then I think... Well, at least it's comforting to think most people didn't misunderstand my intention.

I try but honestly I'm bad at saying nice things in difficult situations... when someone loses someone, or crying or something, my friends look at me and hope I shut my mouth cause I will be cringe or do some stupid joke lol
So I mostly just give a hug and say if they wanna talk, I'm here, cause I'm better at listening

One time I was at a party. Another lady and I were chatting with a friend's teen daughter. I knew the girl quite well because her dad was a band mate and a good friend. I knew she was shy and had low self esteem.

I can't remember the context. I think she was talking about stuff that happened to her in school. But at some point I said "If I was your age, I would think you were really hot." As soon as I said it I realized that I should have said cute, not hot. But she looked at me like I was a perve, as if I was having lascivious thoughts about her. Christ! That was the last thing on my mind.
I immediately said "Was that inappropriate?" and she sort of nodded in embarrassment. So I apologized and got up.

There were these young missionaries who stopped by to clean up the yard. That one of them asked me “how you doin ma’am?” And I replied “Hot!” Cause it was hot outside and they looked me all quiet.

Oh yes! This happened me in 2008. A female colleague came back from a sun vacation, we all worked at Arlanda Stockholm Airport so we all did a lot of traveling by planes. So she looked good with some light nice sunburn so i gave her a compliment (damn Jenny! You look so fresh 😎) the next thing i know is i am having a talk with our boss because she reported me! FOR HARASSMENT. So! Since then i never give any compliments to anyone at work, not even the dudes 🤷‍♂️.

Totally misinterpreted I just figured whatev I’ll never see them again anyways.

[Molly1997]

[exitseven]

Yes, maybe I will tell the tale in the update

[Opinion Owner]

He took it as I meant small. Sure it was small but I didn't care.

[exitseven]

[linka_pat307]

It happens sometimes the tone is not nice so just leave it to be screwed up

[msc545]
