pardon me
Forgive the interruption
Pardon me is a polite phrase used to excuse oneself—for bumping into someone, interrupting, or stepping away: Pardon me, I need to take this call.
It also requests repetition when you didn't hear something: Pardon me? I missed that.
With pointed emphasis, it expresses indignation or disbelief: Pardon me, but that's my seat.
