Am I the only one who absolutely hates it when people say sorry to me about shit nothing? If a person brushes up against me, it's just such a freaking trivial occurrence that "sorry" seems very out of place.
"It's not a big deal. Really, I'm fine."
What are they afraid of? Without that apology am I going to hold a grudge? It's ok, I already assume it wasn't intentional, and even considering somebody intentionally brushed against me, I don't think I could be angry about it.
"HEY, MOTHERFUCKER! DID YOU JUST APPLY A SLIGHT PRESSURE TO MY BODY JUST THEN? I FELT SOMETHING AS YOU WALKED BY YOU PEICE OF SHIT!"
How untrusting do they have to be to think that I might turn on them if I'm not vindicated for the injustice of being brushed against?
What's up with apologizing anyway? Apologizing is definitely not intended for unintentional occurrences, it's supposed to be for changes of heart. Get it right, people. Save the apologies for when they matter, otherwise they're worthless. Apology inflation, you might say. Don't apologize for trivial shit.
Some people I know even apologize for predicaments I put myself in. Like if I decide to walk down a crowded isle and I have to scoot around shit, I SEE THE FUCKING ISLE, I know what's there, don't apologize for the fact that I took the isle anyway.
Why do the nicest people on earth need to be dragged out into the street and shot sometimes?
