Is It Too Much Trouble for You To, Yeah?

One way to deal with negative politeness is just to state outright that you are incurring a debt by making the request. You can use impersonal constructions like things just happened, or say it broke rather than you broke it. There's one strategy that's, that happens a lot, at least for English speakers where gentlemen wear ties. But being excessively polite in the wrong circumstance is going to come off as hostility or possibly passive aggressive hostility.
