rant about apologizing

So i just wanted to post about something that just straight up annoys me that i see everywhere and i dont get why it's a thing:

For example, I was on my way out of the bathroom and some guy was on the other side of the door when i opened it. He says "sorry" and just stands there. He's a senior guy and he apologized to me. Why do people feel the need to apologize when the situation does not call for it? your computer is slow and you dont have something for me? call it an B, dont say sorry. Saying sorry implies you did something wrong. Maybe im being a jerk, but i just cant stand it. Grow a set.

Do you guys see this in your work? You would think people would have more of a backbone in this industry, but i hear "im sorry" about 40 times a day. Dont apologize just get that sht done!

I'm sorry you are such a dick, wait no I'm not sorry for that. I'm sorry you are a little bitch who complains about it on WSO, there we go that's better.

Say your sorry, oh your sorry. You want it back the way it was. Well i'm sorry, but sometimes sorry just aint good enough

Finally someone else is picking up on this!! It's pissed me off for years, don't say sorry if you have nothing to be sorry about!!!! Sorry no one else seems to get how frustrating it can be.

 

U mad bro? Sorry you feel that way.
