Why do people say that when you open a door and theyre coming through the other way?
Whats to apologise for ?

It is strange. Someone had to squeeze past me in the supermarket the other day, being in the dazed and confused state that only supermarkets can induce, I said "cheers" instead" of "sorry". Less apologetic but still entirely weird, it was like I was saying thanks for the close body encounter.

True story.

Sorry.

haha you see, all bonkers.
I just say thats all right, when i get an unnesseary apology

smallbeer · 25-02-2005, 08:04

I noticed when I went to the shop for some cigs yesterday, I said thanks, cheers and thankyou all in the space of our 10 second exchange.

sleepingfish · 25-02-2005, 08:06

I catch myself saying "cheers" as i hand the money over - there's something wrong with that.

I'm going to start telling people to fuck off when they get in my way and/or serve me in shops from now on.

Mik · 25-02-2005, 08:07

yeah, I hear you.

got a call from insurance fcuks other day, telling me my premium was going up so I said, "thats great" , "cheers" and "thanks again".

We are a nation of apologetics..

stickmus · 25-02-2005, 08:50

On the telephone to some callcenter the other day, took me about 10 mins on hold to get through, I explain my problem and was told I was to be put on hold.

I said 'Ok, thanks'.

Go figure.

Stickman · 25-02-2005, 08:57

oli · 25-02-2005, 09:20

haha I used to be, its one of things I think about when i'm in a trance-like state on the train on the way home.

chips · 25-02-2005, 09:46

I was in a furniture shop here and said 'cheers' to the shop owner and he said -
"'why are you English people always looking for cheese? I don't have any cheese."

Stickman · 25-02-2005, 09:54
