Gretchen Rubin and this is A Little Happier.

1:43

I get a tremendous intellectual and

1:45

emotional satisfaction when I hear someone

1:47

give exactly the right response

1:49

in a difficult situation. So

1:52

I'm always on the alert to hear examples of

1:54

people knowing the right thing to say. I

1:57

remember one incident quite clearly.

2:00

though it happened many years ago. My

2:03

husband Jamie and I were working on a

2:05

side project with several other people. After

2:07

we all received a certain email,

2:09

one person, our closest friend in

2:11

the group, meant to reply to

2:13

the message just to Jamie and

2:16

me with a somewhat

2:18

mean comment about the larger group.

2:21

And alas, you can guess,

2:24

he made that classic mistake and

2:26

hit reply all. He

2:28

immediately sent a note of apology to the

2:31

people who were surely very annoyed to see

2:33

the message, and then sent another note to

2:35

Jamie and me to lament what had happened.

2:38

When I saw his email, I sat at my

2:40

desk trying to figure out how to respond in

2:43

a way that would make him feel better. I

2:45

knew he must feel terrible about this

2:48

mistake, and I wanted to comfort

2:50

him, but I couldn't think of

2:52

a single thing to write. But

2:55

in a flash, my husband

2:57

sent back what seemed to me to

2:59

be a simple and perfect response. We've

3:03

all done it. It

3:05

was comforting because it was true.

3:08

Reply all. We've

3:10

all done it. Now often

3:13

when I'm around someone who's screwed up, I

3:15

say to them, we've all

3:18

done it. I'm Gretchen

3:20

Rubin, and I hope this makes your week

3:22

a little happier.
