Are you complaining?

(1/3) > >>

irina:
In our everyday life, we sometimes feel so annoyed by something that we want to complain about it. But for the complaint to be really effective, it has to be made in a tactful manner. A direct complaint sounds rude, so to be polite, we usually 'break it gently' and use expressions like these before we actually come to the point. For example:
I'm sorry to have to say this,but.....
Look I'm sorry to trouble you,but.....
I've got a bit of problem here, you see.....
I wonder if you could help me.....
More expressions?

Good expression with good Technique.

Yep, I also believe that our complaints should be expressed in polite way so that other person feel good to solve it. We need solving,not fight. If becoming tactful gives us solution,then its of no use to use harsh words while complaining. We should not force others to do our work,rather we can create impression that those works are also of theirs, may be it will work better!
