Excuse Me Sir, But…

Okay, so have any of you heard “excuse me sir, but…” lately? I heard it three times today and none of them had done anything prior to excusing themselves that would warrant an excuse.

When did it become okay to apologize before doing something to hurt or inconvenience someone unless it was requested or unnecessary? We’re not talking about a nurse saying “sorry, but you’ll feel a little pin-prick,” we’re talking about “excuse me sir, but can I waste 15 minutes of your life while I ramble on about an expensive dish network system that will lock you into a 12-month contract with huge penalties?”

Anyway, I just thought I’d complain about this tonight. Dish Network, shut up and leave me alone. The rest of you, thanks for reading my rant.
