Average office interaction

Today, I tried to compliment a coworker on her new haircut, saying, “Wow, it makes you look so much younger!” She raised an eyebrow and replied, “You mean I looked old before?” My brain short-circuited and I followed up with, “No, no, you just… looked older.” Everyone within earshot laughed while I wanted to crawl under the desk.

Let's refrain from commenting on coworkers' appearances, even if it's supposed to be complimentary. It's considered workplace harassment.

You should have replied, 'No, this style suits you better'. Then vow to never discuss coworkers appearances again.
