politest question
 

Hello

This question might sound a bit silly but I have a doubt...Which is the politest way of asking someone to take a picture of you for instance when you are on vacation...

A) Excuse me, Could you (please) take a picture of us?

B) Excuse me, Would you mind taking a picture of us?

C) Excuse me, Would you mind if I asked you to take us a picture?


I appreciate your help! :becky:

All three look pretty good to me, though C has the problem that you are only asking the person permission to ask them a question, not to actually take a photo. I'm sure that could lead to some comical situations. So, my choice would be B with a "please" on the end.
