1.	You are driving to office for an important meeting and the car ahead of you takes a while to move out. You… Sit on your horn. You don't have all day! Honk a few times to hurry him up. You quietly wait. He may be having a problem.
2.	It’s been half an hour since you’ve been waiting for your friend to turn up at the restaurant. As you wait you… Simmer within and plan to lecture him on time management. Think he must have got stuck somewhere, but should have planned it better. Patiently read the whole newspaper. You never get time for this anyway.
3.	For the nth time you walk through the house picking up your partner's towel, slippers, coat. You… Pick up the stuff and mumble Remind your partner for the nth time how tidiness at home begins and ends with you and that you could do with some help. Your pertner will clean up when he/she is done. And if they doesn't, well you’ll do it like you’ve done it all these years.
4.	Good friends meet for a drink and one of them starts dishing out too many success stories. You … Drum your fingers and hope the self-aggrandisement will end soon! Look for a gap and quickly divert the conversation to something else. Share a smile with a friend since both of you know this is a regular feature.
5.	A friend drops in and starts the usual long "Nobody loves me, I'm nobody's child" whining session. You… Can't stand when people don't stand up for themselves! So, you tell him/her to stop whining and take a good look at themselves. Recognise this as his/her weekly unburdening session. You listen but only for sometime. You are tired of this whining but you don't want to hurt him/her, so you listen quietly.
