It’s always amused me a bit when people reply

to the question, "do you mind if (whatever the request is) with “Oh, sure !" when they don’t mind. I, on the other hand, have replied, "no, not at all !" and gotten "oh, okay, sorry…"

I was speaking to a group of peers (i.e. I wasn't in 'teacher' mode) in a seminar on one occasion when someone spoke over me. 'Can I interrupt?'

'You just did,' I replied, dead pan.

Laughter followed because we knew each other well and offence was understood not be given or taken.
