Tell them to make the decision.

Suggest something simple.

Say “You know what, you eat air.”

Keep trying.

Ask what they want instead.

Someone is being dramatic about a minor inconvenience. What do you do?

Let them talk it out.

Say “It is not that serious.”

Ask “Is this the hill you want to die on?”

Listen and show concern.

Offer them a fix so they stop complaining.

A person bumps into you and does not apologize. Your move?

Say “Excuse you.”

Bump them back with matching energy.

Say “Excuse me.”

Let it go and continue on with your day.

Give them a confused blink.

Someone asks a question you already answered. What happens?

You point to where you already answered.

You explain again kindly.

You say “I already told you this.”

You explain again, but shorter.

You do not answer and wait for them to figure it out.

You are in a group chat. Someone sends a five paragraph message. You…

React with an emoji and move on.

Read it fully.

Leave the chat and never respond.

Skim politely.

Reply hours later with “Just saw this.”

Someone is walking slowly in front of you. What do you do?

Pass them dramatically so they know they were the problem.

Gently clear your throat.

Say “Excuse me” then walk around them.

Match their pace and wait patiently.

Speed-walk past like you are late to a meeting.

Someone asks, “Do you mind helping me with something?”

“Is there anyone else available?”

“Um, I'd rather not.”

“How long will it take?”

“Of course.”

“Sure, what is it?”

A coworker shares a picture of their oddly looking pet. What is your response?

“Too cute.”

“Aww, so adorable.”

“Nice.”

“Why does it look like that?”

“That’s an interesting photo.”

Someone you are not fond of calls your name from across the room. You…

Pretend you did not hear them until they try again.

Wait a moment before answering.

Respond immediately.

Ignore it completely and keep doing what you were doing.

Look up and wave.

Your friend tells a story wrong. What happens next?

You say “That is not how it went” and fix it.

You let them talk.

You ask “Do you want the real version or your fan fiction?”

You retell the entire story properly.

Someone asks for your honest opinion but your opinion is negative. What do you do?

Soften the truth.

Give the truth with care.

Give the truth without care.

Give a gentle answer.

A person keeps talking during an at-home movie. What is your move?

Say “Can you not?” in a quiet but deadly voice.

Whisper “Shh.”

Pause the movie and stare at them until they notice.

Ignore it.

Glance over at them.

You hold the door open for someone and they do not say thank you. Your reaction?

You purposely shut the door in front of them next time.

You hold the door just long enough for them to catch the door.

You say “My mistake, I thought you were raised better.”

You mutter “You are welcome.”

You keep holding it until they walk through.

A person starts venting for 40 straight minutes. What do you do?

Interrupt and ask if there is a shorter version.

Listen patiently.

Nod and say “Wow” every so often.

Stop them shortly after they begin and tell them you do not have time for this.

Check your phone a few times.
