I apologized to a fast food drive thru window employee today after they told me they did not have any Horsey Sauce. Here's how it went down:
- Employee: Would you like any ketchup or bbq sauce today?
- Me: No, but I'd like some Horsey Sauce!
- Employee: We're out of Horsey Sauce sir?!
- Me: Okay, I'm sorry, I'll take some ketchup.
I have a serious problem with when to use 'I'm sorry' and when to just shut my mouth. Que the Rebecca De Mornay in 'Wedding Crashers'(0:04): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n46CtDmKOg. That look that Vince Vaughn gives at the end of that clip is the response I get when I open up my yapper to deliver those two sweet nectarines of vocabulary that are 'I'm sorry'.
Do you want randomness? I also say I'm sorry to: my employees when I think they dont understand, the mail man when he is putting mail into my box and HE's in the way, my next door neighbor when I tell her that her freaking obnoxius dogs are keeping up building 11 and she gives me the GTH look, anyone who BUMPS INTO ME, people when I cant get the door open fast enough for them, the cashier at any grocery store when they cant stop talking to the person who bags my stuff, and my co-worker when she spilled piping hot Starbucks onto my genitals and I open hand slapped her in the face...well, she deserved the 'I'm sorry' on that one.
I think I see where this is going. People push me around and I just take their crap. When I say 'I'm sorry' it's like my submission to becoming a gimp(or Gump). Well one of these days I'm going to pull a Michael Douglas in Falling Down(4:38): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM8qT9Xop5k. I will not take crap from anyone, ANY LONGER. I'm not going to apologize for something that's not my fault and I wont feel bad when I have to go into that Whammy Burger and order breakfast when it's lunchtime.
I'm sorry if this went on too long.....doh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXCbAtkgNMw.
