Just taking this poll to see if you would like to be told when you made a mistake (in the opinion of the other person) or not.
 

It's a good idea to tell a person if he has made a mistake or not.

My friend and I have a pact. We promise to tell if we can detect the "old man smell". Yes there is such a thing even if you shower every day.
 
Yes, I'd like to be told if I'm not aware that I made a mistake, that way it can be corrected or avoided in the future. If it's a close friend or family that think I made a mistake in their opinion, I'm willing to find out why they think that.
 
If my mistake is something obvious to all - even me - then telling me falls into the category of criticism and I can do without that. However, if it is helpful and important that I know, yes, please tell me. But that is subjective. All depends on the who, the why and the how of the telling.
