I recently told someone "I have good news, and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
They had trouble deciding.
Which do you prefer to hear first, and why?



None.

I prefer to just hear the news either way.

I generally like to "Save the best for last", in most things.
Context would mean a lot here, though.

Assume that's how the person starts off the conversation.

i really dont think it matters what order you tell things, bad news still sucks, good news still rocks.

if you were told your mom died, but you got a full ride to harvard medical, i dont think it would matter about the harvard thing. your mom died, the bad defintaly overtakes the good.

as long as i hear all the news, i dont care

My chem teacher poses this question all the time. By now, I'm sure of what to pick. Doesn't matter. In the end, I still want to know both.

Bad news first because hearing good news makes me real happy and hearing bad news makes me real frustrated. I'd rather be happy with a tinge of frustration for the rest of the day than vice versa.

I'm quite sure I've always asked for the bad news first.



None.

Thigh high affectionado

Ask yourself this, would you rather be happy and then forced to be sad/angry, or start of sad/angry and fix it with good news?

Gimme the bad

If you're going to ask questions, you're not telling us the news.



None.

I would hear the good news, and then walk away before the bad news. Bad news is not something i care about.
