• I live outside the UK so when I say ‘With all due respect’ nobody realises I’m insulting them.
• I asked if anyone wanted the last biscuit. Someone did.
• I accidentally rang the bell on the bus at the wrong stop, and instead of explaining my predicament to the driver, got off and walked the rest of the way home.
• I picked out something that wasn’t in the meal deal so I had to pay full price for everything as I didn’t want to cause a fuss.

• There’s no etiquette for using an umbrella in crowded areas during  wet weather.
• I accidentally touched another commuter’s hand on the handrails on the tube today.
• My girlfriend claims to be ‘neither here nor there’ on Marmite. Now I can’t trust anything she says or does.
