#I mean funny as in komish not funny as in lustig

Saw a bunch of posts recently talking about how saying sorry all the time can be a sign of emotional abuse and, as a Michigander living in New England, here are a few other super common meanings of sorry:

• move.

• you're in the way.

• pay attention, bro.

• what are you doing?

• who the fu-????

• that's my bad.

• thanks.

• excuse me.

• no, I don't have time for this.

• do I know you? No.

• don't judge me, I'm doing something.

• no I don't need help, let me struggle in peace!

• I am in the way, but I noticed you, so by the laws of sorry you can't be that mad.

• STFU you stupid-ass mfing bloated bag of beef.

• that was a nice warning, don't you see the twitching? Bout to go off on a bitch.

• that joke was mean but funny and accurate, I just didn't mean to say it out loud.

Sorry is an accusation, a command, and a judgement. I cannot help the disdain in my eyes when a New Englander laughs at me for what they think is apologizing, and I turn on the translator cus they ain't gonna get it, so I sound kinda deranged as I ride by like: "sorry, sorry? Sorry, 'scuse me- I mean wtf, move! Are you stupid? You're walking down the middle of the path on a blind curve you dumbass donkey." And then they laugh and move, like what?

Sorry is the prequel, a call for attention, a chance to get yourself right before it's God you're explaining yourself to. No more pity replies, just move yourself or your cart/buggy/carriage out the way, and ope, sorry is all you'll have to hear.
