"Oh! I'm so sorry I won't be able to make it!" is a good all-occasion response. Goes over better than "are you freaking kidding me?" anyway.
But the second is so much more satisfying!!!
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hec, I hope Crazy!Ex calms down and backs off, pronto.
I have to terminate someone today and I am not looking forward to the prospect. She is being let go due to, um Personality Issues, and those same issues are going to lead to a messy, uncomfortable meeting. I got her a week's severence, even though we don't usually do that, but many of us in the office are worried that she is going to deal with this by behaving just like EM's ex, especially to her supervisor and myself. I feel very bad for her, and I know she is going to feel victimized, even though we have had literally hours of meetings on how to work with her and deal with her over the last few months. Feh.

Oh Robin, I'm sorry. That's the ugly side of management I guess?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ugh, Robin. I hope it goes smoothly and not too much drama ensues.

Make sure that security is alerted to the situation and will have someone on standby. Seriously.

What is even happening?
Oh, Robin, here's to it going smoothly. I'm sorry you have to go through that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

nope - and they are gone. I am guessing that either there was a problem with one of the people working on the house - or a permit problem - or maybe even a neighbor complaint. but still when any blokes my driveway I get a bit freaked
