A client’s last minute about-face leaves you hanging. Roll with it as best you can and next time get everything in writing.
Don’t think twice about extending the benefit of the doubt to a friend. It wasn’t so long ago that he did the same for you.
You played tough cop because you had to, but now loved ones believe that you’re as hard-hearted as you sound. Soften the rhetoric.
A parent or in-law means well, but you hate long lectures. Try to look interested because they’ll only start again from the beginning if they see you napping.
A dispute is resolved, but you can’t help feeling like certain issues weren’t fully addressed. Leave it alone and move on. That’s why it’s a truce and not a treaty.
Say what you know is on everyone’s mind. Once out in the open you’ll find that people are eager to talk about it.
