    People that say sorry too much.

    I just met a young developer and literally the first thing he said to me before "hello" was "sorry". He literally apologised to me for existing.

    At the end I said to him "You say sorry too much" and his first reflex response before managing to catch himself was "sorry".

    • you condescending bastard.yurimon
    • Oh look it's yurimon desperately searching for a reaction. Again.set

    • If we can get back on topic... I've posted about this before. It's a weird phenomenon I've noticed for years.mg33
    • For example, waiting in line at a store. Maybe there are 4-5 people ahead of me. Maybe it takes a few minutes to get to the register.mg33
    • And the salesperson's first statement is "sorry about the wait." It's odd especially when you as a customer give off no impression of negativity.mg33
    • I knew there'd be a wait; that's part of the deal in a line of any kind. Sales people should look for visual indications of frustration before apologizingmg33
    • for something they may have not even done wrong.mg33
    • But what you're saying set, was it more of like a simple acknowledgment connected to something physical? Like, being in your way?mg33
    • I tell people all the time "don't be sorry, you were there first," like at the grocery store, if someone is ahead of me selecting an item.mg33
    • It's just that immediate assumption that you did something wrong / why acknowledge wrongdoing if you didn't?mg33
    • I'm a bit like that because I had abusive parents. He might have had the same.mugwart
    • sorry mg33imbecile
    • All this reminds me of the high-strung
      milquetoast in Analyze This who kept saying "You're right" ...
