The Parcel

Friends

On Thursday you signed for a parcel for the apartment upstairs. It's Saturday morning, and Gloria from number 4 is at your door to collect it. You've lived in the same building for a year and have only ever said "morning" on the stairs.

It starts like this

Gloria smiles. "Hi, sorry to bother you. I think you've got a parcel of mine? The card said you'd signed for it."

What you practice

Real curiosity, playful humor, reading the room and a clear, confident ask.
