it's better to keep you mouth shut and seem the fool, then to speak and remove all doubt.

Yep, that's the kind of thing you tell your friends, not your coworkers. +5

Yes.

I don't think it is rude but it may perhaps be a little unkind. I mean, what can they do about it at that moment? And if they are looking tired, something unpleasant may be on their mind, and that would just make it worse.

its what the bitchy people in my office do - i just say an exagerated thanks and then they squirm
by SumoAZ on November 21st, 2009
Seems that a better approach if you're concerned is to ask, "Are you okay?".
by dani on November 19th, 2009
It's not a good idea. YOu might say something like, "You seem a little tired today" or "Not quite your normal self" but it would be better just to inquire as to how they're doing.
I had a co-worker that used to tell me I looked tired or like I didn't feel good and after a while I got really tired of hearing that. Made me feel like I looked like sh*t.
by Jackstain on November 19th, 2009
I told my coworker that an hour ago. He looks like he hates his life right now.

The person might take offense. Better to say nothing. +4
by RubyReds on November 19th, 2009
If you know the person well enough then it might be ok. Rather ask how he/she is feeling. You might end up feeling even more tired if hear that you look tired when you are already feel tired.
by evandad on November 19th, 2009
If you're critiquing their looks it is. If you're concerned about them it isn't.
by Sexyrabbit on November 19th, 2009
Yes, i think so. Why bother they probably know already.
by Cheery Cherry on November 19th, 2009
I think so...unless that co-worker is also your friend that you talk with outside of work.
by MojoThunder on November 19th, 2009
Better to ask them "how are you feeling? Is there anything I can do to help you out today?"
by FoolishOne on November 19th, 2009
I don't think so if you are asking in a caring manner rather than trying to put them down for not looking their best. If you ask it in a empathic way they may appreciate somebody noticing their not feeling well or tired.
by Sid on November 19th, 2009
It depends how well you know them I suppose, if you are pretty friendly with them then not really.
by Anonymous on November 21st, 2009
Someone once said this to me.
I replied:
If you think I look tired you
should see the person I'm looking at.
by SmallTownCelebrity on November 19th, 2009
Yeah, it is. If they look tired, I'm sure they know. And, if they don't, knowing isn't gonna make them look any better.

If they are not close friends with you, then yes it is.

I don't think so, i have said this more then once to a coworker of mine, she doesn't get much sleep at all, she works 2 full time jobs, gets about 4 hours sleep a day.
by john pennington on November 19th, 2009
No. i think it shows a genuine concern for her health by you.
I asked a friend this question. she had a black dot on her left arm and it concerned me.
She had her doctor check it out and it was cancer. she had surgery for it, but later died.
Before she died, she thanked me for my concern.
She was a nice lady.
by Morgan1 on November 19th, 2009
No, not if you're the reason they are tired...=)
by Just Plain Barb on November 19th, 2009
Some might take it as a rude question ... saying they don't look very good today.
by ALM4 on November 19th, 2009
no, my co worker used to tell me that and i didnt find it rude and also vise versa i told my other co workers we treated eachother as family...so i guess thats why we dont find it rude
by keep_on_dancing_to_the_tune_of_life on November 19th, 2009
Use this ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION method Approach.. .
D- Describe to him what happened or what you observed.
E- Explain how you feel
S- Specify what needs to happen
C- Consequence : state the anticipated outcome. .
and for sure she'll neve find it foul or an insinuation, and that you really do care for him or her. . . :)
by bettybaby on November 19th, 2009
I was told that it's rude if it's your boss or superior.
by Wynper on November 21st, 2009
I'd go with "Are you okay?"
Then follow it up if they ask why did you ask with, "You just don't seem yourself today." That allows the the person to either take up your offer to talk or to let it pass.
by de select on November 19th, 2009
No it is not rude and as the one who is asking such question ,beause the person is concern and would like to comfort other person.
by Durden on November 19th, 2009
.. I don't really see in what manners that can be rude.. really.. if someone say it to me, it's like he was concerns about my well-being..
by Tinjon is Rollerz Only on November 19th, 2009
No, that might actually motivate that person.
by deltabtry on November 19th, 2009
Hell why not, I am told that from time to time and I have also said it to my co-workers. I take no offense to it.
by VenusHalley on November 19th, 2009
It depends how well do you know them and how well do you get along.

I feel uneasy about this guy who works where I'm going to do an internship. Should I tell the internship director, or just avoid the guy?
