Answer to Question #322855 in English for Shay

Question

Provide us with 2 examples or experiences that u have encountered whereby a form of address greetings and/or gesture was misunderstood or used wrongly which created an uncomfortable situation

Answer 1

I happen to attend a very big seminar in a give institution that I won't mention, and we were requested to introduce ourselves. During the introduction I happen to greet the whole congratulation without recognizing the special guests or those at high positions since i had no idea they may happen to be invited. Since no one understood that i had no information of the big guests around, a good number assumed i had disrespected them by mot recognizing.

Another scenario, i was in church and decided to greet the congratulations without starting with Godly phrases like praise God. Many misss understood me for disrespecting the presence of the church.
