Do you always know the right thing to say?
Are you dutifully diplomatic...or totally tactless? Some people always seem to know the right thing to say, while others...well, let's just say that they'll often find they're wearing their Manolos in their mouths! So which are you? Take the test and find out.
|
| 1. | A friend splits up with her boyfriend, you say: |
| | |
Oh my god! You’ll never find another one like him… |
| | |
I always thought he was a pig. |
| | |
You must have had your reasons. Why didn’t you feel it was working out? |
|
| 2. | A friend walks out on her job. You say: |
| | |
What were you thinking? Jobs like that don’t grow on trees. |
| | |
It was a terrible job anyway. |
| | |
Maybe we should think about the pros and cons of this. |
|
| 3. | Your mum tells you about a past lover. You say: |
| | |
That’s gross! Keep it to yourself. |
| | |
I can’t believe that you still think about other men. |
| | |
Wow, what was he like? |
|
| 4. | A friend tells you she fancies someone you know isn’t interested in her. You say: |
| | |
In your dreams, girl – he’s way out of your league. |
| | |
If you don’t mind me saying, I think you should set your sights a bit more realistically. |
| | |
You’re too good for him. Have you noticed the guy at the café? |
|
| 5. | A friend tells you that she feels really depressed. You say: |
| | |
You can’t expect the world to be put on hold until you feel better. |
| | |
Don’t worry, just let us know when you’ve come out of it. |
| | |
Tell me how you’re feeling. |
|
| 6. | A friend fails her exams. You say: |
| | |
Well, you never were particularly bright, were you? |
| | |
Maybe you should consider working with your hands? |
| | |
Don’t worry about it. You can simply try again and, this time, you’ll know what to focus on. |
|
| 7. | After a long absence you see a friend and notice she has gained weight. You say: |
| | |
Well, you’re certainly not going to the gym anymore, are you? |
| | |
Hey, how come you didn’t tell me that you were pregnant. |
| | |
Nothing. |
|
| 8. | A friend confides that he is gay. You say: |
| | |
Oh, right. Ummmm…that’s aah, great. Yeah, catch you later. |
| | |
Maybe it’s just a phase you’re going through. |
| | |
About time you came out! |
|
| 9. | A friend switches from a great career to a job that you don’t believe is suitable for them. You say: |
| | |
Go for it! (then go after her old job) |
| | |
Yeah, great, before long you’ll be asking do you want fries with that? |
| | |
Have you really thought about this? You have so much potential. |
