Nu te tragi de sirituri.
"Don't pull the shoelaces" (or "Don't pull from the shoelaces"?).
. . .
It means not to push levels of formality and force use of a more informal pronoun form when you're talking with someone.
I need to talk to my one (Romanian) coworker at the resthome and my one (Romanian) colleague from my doctoral program, but my sense is that because someone's standing up and you're pulling their shoelaces, image-wise, the effort to draw them closer is doomed to fail.
