When you pass an 'SBD', should you say 'excuse me' or is it okay just to walk away?

First, assume a look of concern. Then give a darting glance to your companions.  As you watch their faces break with recognition of the incident, fall onto all fours and crawl quickly to the nearest exit yelling over your shoulder, "Follow me -- I think there's a window we can smash open in the next room!"

Well there's a difference here.. if you're referring to someone who is ill and asks another employee to come in for their shift, then I see no issue with that.  But if you just don't show up and ask someone who's already working to pick up the slack, then someone should inform the boss.  And... that person should say NO.

Just passing... very cute. I try not to do that. If I don't have something original to contribute or don't know the answer, then I don't answer.

Be so polite that you pass instantly. Or be so rude that the people can not help you and kick you out.

you might be interrupting their action....it's courteous to let them know that you're on your way over.

Be honest. Say something like "I have no particular reason for not wanting to see you again, except that I really don't feel you are right for me."

Tell directly to him/her.\nIts is ths simple and most effective way\nJust tell I am sorry by heart.

If he left the basepath for any reason, including to initiate contact, he should have been called out.  If you were on the basepath and he ran into you, that is acceptable.

As a teacher, I think a brief apology for an unstifled belch is fine. Really, keep your mouth closed and you should be fine.\nFarts, however, do not exist in polite society and are therefore best ignored. Don't claim it, don't blame someone else, just continue on as if nothing had happened.

"Do you want to ****?  Or do I owe you an apology?"

As long as it's done discreetly, and you do not throw your used tissues on the ground, it should be ok.  Saying a quick "excuse me" is nice if people can see or hear.\n\nAnd it is never ok to do it at a table in a restaurant if other people can see or hear, that is just being nasty.

I don't think that's the best approach. If somebody asks you a question you're unsure of, just say, "I don't know" or "I'm not sure". It's OK to do that. If you try to evade it and skip it, the other person will think you like to run away instead of responding to a situation in some way. Evading and skipping isn't something one can normally achieve without letting away telltale signs.

well, timing is important.  If you wait, it won't matter what method of apology you use because the longer you wait to apologize, the more insincere you will sound to the other person.

It depends on how large the meeting is. If there are only a few people present, simply excuse yourself, leave the room and come back when you're done. If it's a large meeting, simply leave quietly, and return quietly. You don't have to make a big fuss over it, nor do you have to go into a long explanation.

I am a passive person. I would be very offended and just walk away and write you off of my list of friends.

As long as its not in succession, your fine.    I do about that myself.  I walk on my breaks and lunches at work.

It is a nice reflex to have.  Most people prob'ly know they did the bumping, but don't get mad at yourself, "sorry" is a good habit to have.
