I once confirmed an appointment over email by saying I’d ‘be there with bells on’, and the other person took offense. I guess they thought the use of the old-timey phrase was me being sarcastic. I thought it just showed my enthusiasm for the meeting. You just can never tell what will hit a person the wrong way.

If you learned that they took offense beforehand, show up with bear bells on your boots and tell them you’re going hiking afterward.
