Do you want the Good news or the Bad news first?

My choice is no news if that is possible. lol!

Hello moonlitmagikchild! I would choose the bad news first because if I will choose the good news, the moment I will hear the bad news, I won't appreciate the good news anymore and that the bad news would have a greater impact than the good news where as if I will choose the bad news first then probably, I will recover hearing the good news. But actually, it really still depends on the news.

BAd......it's usually not as bad as they think....and the good news sounds even better after getting the bad news! LOL

Give me the bad news first and the GOOD news last. I just rather save the best for last because once I hear the good news last, I might not think about the bad news anymore unless it over powers the good news. But I'm the type of person that doesn't kick a huge fit when hearing bad news. I always try to find a positive side of everything and anything.

My husband always says this to me. Of course I always say that I want the bad news first because like you say at least we know the next news can't be any worse. The only problem with my husband though is that sometimes he just does not have good news. So it really sucks when I am stuck with only the bad news......

I always ask for the bad news first. That wasy I have the good to bring me back up. However do you ever notice that when someone comes at you with this kind of statement the bad news really isn't that bad? I always ask for the bad and then usually I'm like,"Wait, that's it?"

I like to get the bad news out of the way first and so then I have only the good new to look forward to after that.

hi moonlit..i guess i like to hear the good news first!! its just that i need some boosters so that i can face or accept whatever bad news that im going to hear or received..

Doesn't really matter anyways you get it. One of them will be bad news. and the other good. So just pick one and dish it out. No need to play with all that suspense of good news bad news. Just dish it out! I can take it!

first i will tell the bad news then the good news will be follow

I'll want the bad news first, since that is probally the one that needs some attention for turning the situation around. I would be interested in trying to resolve the issue or making the situation better. The good news is probally something that you are already aware of.

Hi Moonlit, I prefer to have the bad news first - at least I know how bad it is. So having the good news next, will at least lessen the impact of the bad news!

I would prefer knowing the bad news first. as you said, if it's really bad, then we'd know that the next thing that we're about to find out will be something good! or, at least, better than the bad news..plus, as the chinese proverb says, bitter comes first. once you've overcome something bad or hard, whatever comes next would be easy ;D

i'd rather take the bad news first. regardless of how bad it is, the good news is always something to look forward too.

I usually want the bad news first, because then the good news come and helps to cheer me up, if the bad news is really bad. The good news certainly isn't any worse than the bad news.

i would always ask for bad news first cos i believed in a first bitter after sweetness mindset. I rather take the pain and enjoy the comforts later. No point hearing the good news and be happy for that few seconds and then turning sad after hearing the bad news which dampen the mood. I hear the bad news first and then i can composed myself and whatever news that come next would not be as bad and would definitely take away some pain or misery which to me is better

I prefer bad news first,and then good news .so that i feel happy at last .

I would also choose to have the bad news first. As a consolation then I would have a good news to cheer upon. Another reason for this choice is that by hearing the good news last, I wouldn't end up arguing with this person for such news but at least we would finish our onversation on good terms.
