Foot, meet mouth

Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML

I recommend learning the phrase: "Yes, why do you ask?"

If he was asking about a specific teacher, it's pretty obvious that he knows the guy and that you shouldn't talk shit about him.

If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. Even if it wasnt the kids dad, you still come across as a backbiting gossip. YDI

Why is this under the Intimacy category?

Why all the YDI's? He should say his opinion regardless and not be fake about it

Ok but here's a way to be honest without being an idiot: Supervisor> Do you know this professor? OP> Yeah, I had a class with him Supervisor> What did you think of him? OP> He seemed like an alright guy, but I didn't really care for his class

You always ask why first? Before babbling on

That's honestly a ydi. I always ask how they know them first. That could get you in major trouble in some situations(like this one for example.)

Well...now you know to never badmouth ANYONE when in a professional setting.

It's also falsely marked with intimacy

It was silly to babble on, but honestly, he kind of brought it on himself by not being upfront about why he was asking...
