#3: Awkward Alert
When you’re trying to make conversation with a person you know absolutely nothing about, there’s a good chance it will backfire. That’s what happened to this poor girl, who was just trying to be friendly towards a customer at the bank. When she commented jokingly on her fat check, the lady replied coldly, “it’s a life insurance check. I would rather have the person.”
What do you even say to something like that? What did this girl say? We can imagine she lost all color from her face and wanted the earth to open up and swallow her. What’s the lesson here, you ask? Never, under any circumstances, don’t attempt to make random conversation with people just for the sake of being polite. You never know how that might end.
