Avoid These Mistakes: What Not to Say.

Welcome to our guide on what NOT to say in different situations. While we all love a good chuckle, there are some things that just don’t pass for humor or contextually coherence. In this article, we’ll be highlighting those phrases and words that should be placed firmly in the ‘avoid’ category of your vocabulary.

First Dates

First dates always come with their fair share of awkwardness and tension. It’s easy to try too hard or not put enough effort into making conversations flow naturally. Here are some common mistakes you should avoid:

Talking About Your Ex

“My ex had similar interests as you.”

This could make them feel like they’re nothing more than a substitute for someone you left behind.

Taking Insensitive Jabs

“You look way better than I expected!”

They might have been expecting something completely different from what they see right now! Humor doesn’t work when it comes at the expense of others.

Discussing Personal Hygiene Matters

“I haven’t showered in days.”

Nope, absolutely not acceptable! This isn’t endearing; it’s unhygienic!

Job Interviews

Job interviews can seem daunting and tame at first glance, but if approached carelessly, they could result in your fundamental demise before any chances even roses.’

Bringing Up Personal Issues

“I’m really stressed out lately because my cat has worms again.”

A prospective employer wants someone who is engaging with company culture professionally- so save pet talk for later.

### Asking about Pay Before Closing deal orders

“So what’s the starting salary? I have bills piling up by my house.”

Not only does this frame amateurism in questions early on during the interview process but also limits scope space while pricing putting off management entirely.

## Wedding Ceremonies

While some people appreciate a blunt sense of humor, others have little to no ordeals of it. Here are some mistakes you should avoid during weddings:

Criticize The Couple’s Appearance

“Don’t they look old for their age?”

This might get you uninvited from the after-party.

Anything That Sounds Like A Pass

“If I wasn’t gay, I would totally date the bride/groom.”

Just don’t even go there!

Funerals

Funerals are solemn occasions where we mourn and remember our loved ones who’ve passed away. Therefore, these occasions require utmost respect and consideration.

### Inappropriate Jokes
“Well at least they’ll save on funeral expenses now that he is dead!”
No captions here just remember discretion in all its forms!

### Personal Invectives
“Did she ever finish college? She never did seem smart enough”.
Comments meant to be declaratory thinly veil resentment towards other individuals instead reveal how much hate can consume someone else insecurities.#spitefulremarks

Competitions educate us through constructive criticism as well as compliments in equal measure.

Blaming Judges Of Nepotism If You Lose

“The judges were clearly biased!”

Not only will this make you an unpleasant person to be around- but also cast doubts upon your integrity & sportsmanship i.e., natural tenets of educational contests competitions.

Claiming Interference From Technological Malfunctions

“The computer crashed; my answers didn’t load correctly.”
This won’t fly if one doesn’t convince them with merit as prerequisites for winning.

# Business Meetings

Business meetings allow teams to discuss strategy and brainstorm new ideas. They must remain professional and focus on productivity while tiptoeing occasionally over water cooler talk- so let’s commence.

## Bragging About Past Accomplishments Louder Than Others
“I didn’t even need a degree to get to where I am now.”

One upon making such utterances only will distinguish oneself as the self-absorbed narcissistic one.

Blaming Colleagues Plus Pointing Out Their Inadequacies

“The only reason that proposal wasn’t executed thoroughly was because John didn’t print enough copies”.

Leading through intimidation rather than constructive collaboration solves nothing here.

Conclusion

Communication competence does take some effort and mind power- yet can be mastered over time. As we’ve seen, conversational blunders often lead to awkward silences or outright conflicts- which reduce efficiency in important spheres of our lives; so why risk it? Let’s be mindful of what we say – it could mean the difference between being successful or an epic failure.#Communications Etiquettes
