Do you prefer to hear good news or bad news first?

Bad news. While it definitely depends on what both the good and the bad news entail, if there’s a little light at the end of the tunnel, let it serve to cushion the blow. (Sorry for the mixed metaphors.)

I believe its better to hear bad news first…just to get it out of the way. Then we can hear the good things and feel a lot better and everyone can go about their day of hope and goodness. 🙂
What do you think?

I agree! I prefer to hear the bad news first, solve it or realize it’s out of our control then bask in the glory of the good news 🙂

Until I have heard the news, I don’t know if it’s good or bad. You may think it to be one of the other, but how do you know – for sure – how I will take it?

If they’re relatively neutral it might be opinion based, but most of the time we have a general consensus on what;s good news and what’s bad news 😉 Thanks for commenting Simon

good news first. as humans we have a tendency to spend more energy on the negatives than appreciating the positives. thus good news first, not that it would make me more happy but atleast i would in my sane mind appreciate it.
