My aunt recently got a new house. As she was moving in, she asked me very abruply what I thought of her kitchen.
At the time, it was cluttered, messy and dirty, and all the cupboard doors were open, boxes on the floor etc because of the move.
I wasn't quick enough to say something like "It's goreous" - I just said "Well, it's a bit cluttered". I wish I were a quicker thinker!
Anyway, she is now really mad at me... I tried complimenting other things and apologizing, to no avail.
Was I totally out of line? FWIW, her kitchen looks great now that she's settled in...
