I had a simple encounter a few months back with some coworkers that has had a lasting impact on me... mostly because I realized I apologize too often. Drinking wine in a group around a table. Someone stepped around me to reach something in the middle of the table. This person knocked my resting glass and it violently wobbled almost toppling over. My first reaction was saying “sorry” in which my coworker responded with the dirtiest look. Saying sorry resulted in an immediate acceptance of fault. I’ve also seen similar reactions after a motor accident I was involved in. I know this anecdote can’t be applied everywhere but the info here can’t either... Sometimes it’s best just to keep quiet... especially when the other party is on edge.
