  • Move. You're in my way.
    Excuse me, could I please get by?
  •  15
  • That’s mine! Give it back.
    Hey, I think that belongs to me—can I have it back, please?
  •  15
  • I don’t care what you think.
    I see it differently, but I hear what you're saying.
  •  15
  • You're annoying.
    I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. Can we take a break?
  •  15
  • I already know that. Duh.
    Thanks, but I think I’ve got this part.
  •  15
  • Why are you even here?
    Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you. Are you joining us?
  •  15
  • You’re doing it wrong.
    Can I show you a different way that might help?
  •  15
  • Ugh, this is boring.
    This is hard for me to stay focused on—can we try something different?
  •  15
  • Hurry up!
    Can we try to move a little faster, please?
  •  15
  • No one asked you.
    Thanks for your input—I wasn’t expecting that.
  •  15
  • You talk too much.
    Can I have a turn to share my thoughts too?
  •  15
  • You’re not my friend.
    I'm feeling upset right now—I need some space.
  •  15
  • You're being so weird.
    That’s different than what I expected, but okay!
  •  15
  • I don’t want to work with you.
    Can we try switching partners today?
  •  15
  • Whatever.
    I'm feeling frustrated. Can we talk about this later?
  •  15
  • You're bad at this.
    This part seems tricky—want some help?
