Guess What? That Was Not Okay

Have you ever been in a social situation where you really, really needed to tell a person that what they just said/did was not okay? But you just weren’t quite sure how to approach it?

Well, your problems have been solved.

Thatwasnotokay.com is a simple website that offers free downloadable and printable cards. Each card has the web address of the site itself, which reads:

The person who gave you this card wanted to tell you that your behaviour was not OK. You made someone uncomfortable and they’d like you to stop.

The site also provides links to books on social etiquette on Amazon, saying that books will not automatically give you social graces, but they will certainly help.

Have a friend who keeps cracking racist and/or gay jokes in public? Give them a card. Know somebody who makes disparaging comments about women? Give them a card. Often around people who say/do things without thinking them through first, leading to offensive and/or awkward social situations? Card.

The only thing we really need now is a web version.
