Give silent treatment for 3 days, waiting for them to notice your "distance."

Directly: "Package return was a hassle—can you set a phone reminder?"

Post an Insta story: "Some people's memory is worse than Alexa."

Propose a solution: "Ship to my office, or we'll take turns picking up."

Slam the door: "You only think of yourself!" Hide in a café waiting for them.

Suggest: "Compromise—first half game, second half exhibit?"

Poll group chat: "Game vs. art exhibit—what should we choose?"

Weigh priorities: "Your team's playoff has 3 games left—art exhibits are monthly. Let's go to the game."

Glare in silence, then say later: "You embarrassed me today."

Respond immediately: "Not a fan of that joke—let's change the topic."

Complain to friends: "They always joke inappropriately—how to remind them?"

Diffuse: "Need to teach them a 'joke safe word' like 'pineapple' to stop."

Like your ex's photo on purpose: "Let's hurt each other."

Directly ask: "Did you think about my feelings when liking the ex's post?"

Text their bestie: "Is liking ex's post normal? Help me analyze."

Propose rules: "Keep liking freedom, but inform each other for respect."

Say "Whatever, work matters more," refusing to discuss.

Say: "Disappointed about the trip, but let's plan a weekend getaway instead."

Tweet: "Their overtime is more disappointing than GoT's finale."

Analyze: "Visit 3 nearby towns over the next 3 weekends—same total itinerary."

Change password: "Account expired," waiting for their apology.

Suggest: "Take turns—your choice this week, mine next."

Text roommate: "They're hogging TV for mindless shows—help?"

Propose split screens: "You take bedroom TV, I'll take living room—no interference."

Retort: "You're always gaming with friends too!" Then cold war.

Apologize: "Busy with projects—let's make every Wednesday 'our night' starting next week."

Text friends: "They complain about less time, but I'm working till midnight."

Quantify: "12 hours in 4 weeks—2 hours less than last month. I can adjust shifts."

Slam veggies back: "Fine, buy them all if you're rich."

Suggest: "Organic is great, but let's have it 2 days a week for balance."

Message family group: "Your kid is overspending—how to handle?"

Calculate: "Regular veggies have 92% safety, organic is 3x pricier for 5% more—not worth it."
