Um..

 Hi there

I've mentioned before how I don't particularly like it when shop assistants comment rapturously on something I'm wearing, in an effort to create a bond with me.  Anything for a sale, eh?

Well, last week I went to the doctor for a renewal of my eyedrops.

 "I like your bag," he said.

 "Um...".  Perhaps he'd just finished reading the 2023  edition of "The Desk-Side Doctor's Handbook - how to bond with your patient". 

It's a companion piece to "The Counter-Side Shop Assistant's Handbook".  And the "Kerb-Side Postie's Handbook".  And others....

just kidding; there are no such handbooks.  Maybe....?
