Someone jumps in front of you in the queue
Excuse me, I think the queue starts over there
It's time to pay at the end of a meal in a restaurant
Shall we split it? /// Is it okay if we pay separately?
Would you like a cuppa?
I’m fine for now, but thank you.
You get the wrong dish in a restaurant
I don’t think this is what I ordered, please can you check?
You and your friend get to the till in a coffee shop
I’ll get this. It’s my treat. You can get it next time.
You bump into someone in a shop
Oh I’m sorry! I didn’t see you there!
Someone tries to stop you in the street
I’m sorry I’m in a rush
There is one cake left
Any takers?
You have a guest staying with you
Make yourself at home
A guest is overstaying their welcome
Well…that was lovely. Thanks for coming over.
Someone keeps wanting to meet up with you but you're not sure
Can I have a think and get back to you?
You didn't hear what someone said
I’m so sorry, I still didn’t quite catch that.
You've forgotten someone's name
I’m sorry — I feel terrible saying this, but could you remind me of your name? //// I’m awful at names!
Someone goes in for a hug
Ooh I’d rather not. I’ve got a bit of a cold and don’t want to spread it.
