While at the Mall yesterday, as the queues at the payment counter grew longer, patience was running thin even as people in adjacent lines jostled into each other unknowingly.
A swelte woman, clad in skin-tight jeans, turning sharply away from the counter, rammed her elbow into the solar plexus of a well-dressed gentleman standing in the adjacent line.
She said "I'm Sorry".
Gracious, isn't it? Far from it. While her mouth said sorry, her eyes flashed, and her countenance seemed to proclaim, "Get out of my Fxxxxxg way - couldn't you have moved out in time, you moron?" I couldn't believe her. Why would someone be so angry on hitting someone else??? And I've NEVER seen such scorn paraded around in a public place for no reason!
To add sorry to that weird, unapologetic, truculent attitude, it was an insult to "sorry"!!!
I'd say it's better to save such sorries than make such a pathetic show.

When what you say & what you really say aren't the same, things can only worsen.
As Wodehouse would've put it, sorries are rummy things ;-)
