Top Ten Daft Things the British Apologize For

I'm sorry for making this list. I'm sorry for being British. I'm so so sorry! Sorry I can't apologise enough. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry. Please forgive me, I'm British. Sorry about that!

The Top Ten

1 Accidentally bumping into a mirror

Whenever I bump into anything, I never apoligise. It's hardwired into my brain to just swear. It hurts.

2 When a shopper rams our legs with their trolleys

"I'm so sorry! Forgive me. I wasn't looking where you were going! "

3 For apologizing

Sorry for this sorry item.

4 No reason whatsoever

Sorry for not having nothing to apologise for. What can I say, except... Sorry!

You don't need to apologize for being British. Its not your fault. Its ok

Sorry! Sorry! Very sorry!

5 For getting in the way of a cyclist on the pavement

6 Being tired

7 Disturbing someone who isn't busy

8 To tourists on behalf of our weather

Don't worry! That's how the weather is. You can't control it.

9 To a wrong number caller

I'm sorry, you seem to have reached an imaginary number. If you request a real number, increase your argument by pi/2 radians and try again.

Everyone has apologized for that at some point.

I did that once

10 To paramedics for taking the trouble to treat a silly minor thing like a heart attack

The Contenders

11 For accidentally touching someone

Did this in Blackpool once in the queue for a ride at Pleasure Beach, and continuously apologised, but then that guy was like 'What? '

12 Colonizing Argentinian Malvinas

Sorry! I couldn't help adding this :) But I REALLY love this list and the British user who made it! :) Sorry for adding this item!
