Hello Who, If you get off on the wrong foot with someone you have just met, your relationship starts badly, often with an argument: " I don't really know why, but somehow Jane and I got off on the wrong foot." It could also mean to start any activity badly or begin it with a mistake. " If I get off on the wrong foot with one of my paintings, I know it will never be right." " I got off on the wrong foot in my new job when I forgot to pass on an important message to the boss." " Anna got off on the wrong foot in her performance when she forgot the first few words of the song." " I'm afraid we got off on the wrong foot with our daughter's in-laws." ** Its antonym (opposite saying) is " to get off on the right foot" ,which means to make a good beginning or establish good relations: " It's important to get off on the right foot in this new job."

Hi, it means to have a misunderstanding or get off to a bad start. Here's an example: let's say you and I have never met each other. You are coming to my office to interview for a job. We both try to get on a crowded elevator at the same time, but there is only room for you. You later meet me for the first time and I might say, "Sorry we got off on the wrong foot, my name is... It's good to meet you".
