  • I know exactly what you’re talking about, a new girl at work apologises for everything, and im always like, no need, you had know way to know.

    But the reason it irks me is because to have someone apologise to you implies you have reprimanded them in some way, which isn’t what’s happened, and it implies they have acted innappropriately, which is also incorrect.

    And that’s important, because if we dont frame it in fault/blame terms it’s more efficient and avoids abrasiveness that may turn toward conflict.
