What should a person do if anything they would say would be wrong, but they have to say something?
December 31, 2017 1:28 pm at 1:28 pm #1440108Little FroggieParticipantThey, (he, she or RebYidd23) should start a topic in coffee room about it!!!
December 31, 2017 1:28 pm at 1:28 pm #1440109JosephParticipantSay the wrong thing. After enough practice, they’ll say the right thing.
December 31, 2017 3:49 pm at 3:49 pm #1440171👑RebYidd23ParticipantBut there are no practice runs. For saying a particularly wrong thing, or for saying nothing, you can get labeled as insensitive and rude forever, even if you said it accidentally because you are a creature of extreme awkwardness.

(Also, practice small talk in the shower)December 31, 2017 7:01 pm at 7:01 pm #1440237👑RebYidd23ParticipantThe rules of small talk are confusing.
December 31, 2017 11:03 pm at 11:03 pm #1440298LightbriteParticipantGuessing that you’re being vague for a reason…
Knowing the context/situation would help me know how to best respond to your question RebYidd23…
January 1, 2018 6:56 am at 6:56 am #1440328👑RebYidd23ParticipantThat’s because I’m referring to all situations that meet the criteria.
January 1, 2018 6:56 am at 6:56 am #1440373CSParticipantIf it’s sholom bayis related, humor helps alot!
January 1, 2018 3:18 pm at 3:18 pm #1440588👑RebYidd23ParticipantEven plain small talk with people you don’t know very well can go devastatingly wrong. For example, if you ask them what they do for a living, it might be very painful for them to hear if they recently lost their job.
January 1, 2018 5:34 pm at 5:34 pm #1440679LightbriteParticipantSometimes saying the wrong thing is the right thing, because since Hashem put you there to be you, maybe what you said was what he needed you to say.
