When you hear the bad news you wanna hear what you did not expect. Most likely the the good news is easy to cope with if you expect it or not. I like hearing the bad news first because I would like to hear that problem first and the good news can become secondary because im sure its nothing that is strenuous or not easily hard to accpet.

If something is good, then it doesn't need fixing or immediate attention. However, If something is going bad then it may need to be addressed as soon as possible, and is wanted to be heard first.

The reason for this is because the bad news maybe bad so they want to hear it first and usually most of the time the good news has something to do with he bad news to turn it around

any positiveness that would come from the good news would be immediately crushed by the bad news. plus i guess it just feels better to hear something good after you have been let down. and if the person told u the good news and you werent impressed, where do they go from there? good question tho that is interesting

I'm guessing (This is why I would) it's because whichever one they hear second, they'd pay more attention to, so they want to get the bad part out of the way first.

So that the good news can make the bad news seem a bit better than if you presented the bad news last.
