1. From your auto mechanic:
"That part is much less expensive than I thought."
"I've never seen anyone maintain his car as well as you do."
"You could get that done more cheaply at the garage down the street."
"It was just a loose wire - No charge."
2. From a store clerk:
"The computerized cash register is down. I'll just add up your purchases with a pencil and paper."
"We're sorry we sold you defective merchandise. We'll pick it up at your home and bring you a new one, or give you a complete refund...whichever you prefer."
3. From a contractor:
"Whoever worked on this before sure knew what he was doing."
"I think I came in a little high on that estimate."
4. From a dentist:
"I think you're flossing too much."
"I won't ask any questions until I take the drill out of your mouth."
5. From a restaurant server:
"I think it's presumptuous for a waiter to volunteer his name, but since you ask, it's Tom."
"I was slow and inattentive. I cannot accept any tip."
