Someone you dislike might have told a decently funny joke but instead you stifled your laugh and no-sold it to make them look bad.
You might have been dumped by your partner but rather than cry and show them your emotion you instead no sold it and pretended everything was fine.
So, what's the last thing you no-sold?

I was going over a contract with a client and got a bad papercut on my thumb. No sold it despite leaving a bloody thumb imprint

Not the last time, but my favorite. At work years ago I used to hate flirt with a cashier that the owners son had a crush on. One day I grab my water bottle and as I take a big gulp I notice them watching me. Bottle was full of salt water. I just gulped it down without any negative reaction. Then took another sip, set it down, and went back to work. They were very puzzled that their prank didn't work.

I work for a hotel chain that is currently experiencing a drop in positive customer feedback scores because of a combination of price hikes and stingy staffing budgets (despite rising profits) resulting in longer check-in times, and rushed and overworked housekeeping staff not always doing the best job of cleaning rooms. How has management decreed that these problems be solved? Loosen up the budgets for more staff maybe? Schedule more staff for busy times and less staff for dead spells? Nope. Bath towel elephants in every room will make guests forgive all the inconveniences! Yeah, I no-sold that announcement harder than ‘91 Undertaker against a jobber.

I was on the phone while driving (hands free Bluetooth) yesterday and almost got into a an accident because some guy tried to be aggressive and come into my lane when someone stopped in front of him. He had to slam on the breaks, which was VERY loud. The person on the phone with me was like, "WHAT WAS THAT?!" To which I replied very calmly, "Eh...nothing important."
I have a ridiculously calm demeanor, so I tend to no-sell many things. It aggravates certain people in my life, but oh well.

The office bore pulling me up on something. We were talking about plans for our Christmas party, and I told new colleagues what we normally do - leave work early, have a drink en route, go for the meal and then hit the town. For whatever reason he disagreed with this assessment and decided to give his version.
I didn't give him the satisfaction of reacting and waited until he turned his attention to someone else.

My mother has a beef with the neighbor's Halloween decorations, which I hadn't even noticed until she said something, because I generally pay no attention to them, but they're three plastic spiders crawling up the woman's house. So she said she was going to shoot the spiders down because she hates spiders, and I no-sold it so of course she got huffy and informed me it was supposed to be a joke.

I don't have a recent since I've turned into a huge wuss when it comes to pain, so here's one of my best - Working as a cook in a pizza restaurant and a friend was working as a server. We'd smoked a bit on a break before hitting a big rush and, when we started to slow a bit and get out of the weeds, I decided it would be a good idea to startle him from behind with a bear hug. As it turns out, he'd dropped acid earlier in the day and was still quite on edge and when I grabbed him, he instinctually threw his hand backwards in which he happened to be holding a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine for one of his tables. The corkscrew went about a quarter inch or so into my head. Although it was burning a bit, I went straight back to work at the cut table only to have the kitchen manager run in and (rightly) screaming at me to get out of the kitchen and away from the food. I hadn't noticed there was blood running down my face, so obviously he wanted me out to avoid contamination and/or customers seeing that in our open kitchen.
I had quite the headache the next day but we actually still joke about it whenever we talk. I brought it up when we hadn't spoken in a while when he moved and he apologized profusely YEARS after and told me he remembered it happening but couldn't figure out if he'd imagined it or not.

Was in a boat catfishing. Father in law catches about a 2lb catfish while I just hook into a monster. He swings his fish into the boat quickly so he can get the net and prepare to land my monster. The fish hits my back, I feel a little pain, but I'm focused on this huge fish. My father in law starts apologizing for hurting me and I tell him "Just worry about the net".
After we land my fish he tells me to turn around and I feel him pull on something. His 2lb catfish had impaled my back with it's "stinger" and was hanging off me for about 4 minutes while I fought my fish.
