How many times do you say “Sorry” to the British?

Whether love for a good line, overuse of “please” and “Thank you”, or keeping the door open for someone we always try to be polite.

Now, experts have found that we are also extremely keen to apologize.

Researchers recruited 2,000 persons for a study regarding the use of the word “m fal”.

They found that 90 percent of people regularly apologize for things that are not their fault.

That includes situations like when someone else hits you or when you have a weak phone signal.

Experts warn that while we often apologize without thinking, it is more difficult to apologize for what really matters.

They found out how often people say “excuse me” a day, how do you compare?

The analysis showed that Brits pronounce the word <x0rsorry” to nine times a day translated into 3,285 times a year.

Nearly a third said they see the need to apologize for smaller things as a unique British feature.

The quest for someone to repeat what he said, the answer on the phone when you are with someone, the sneezing, and even coughing can be accompanied by an apology.

The results also showed that we often apologize when an employee helps us in self-service, or when someone holds the door and we should run.

One in five admits that he apologizes when asking a colleague to do something at work, while 19 percent apologize even when someone else accidentally steps on their feet.

Meanwhile, two thirds say that it is easier to apologize for a small matter than for something larger, such as. Hurting the feelings of a good friend.

More than half of those who have fought a loved one say that they have not yet found the courage to reconcile, even a year later.

Bethany Day, minister of the Market at Interflower, who ordered the survey, said: “We are a nation who says sorry without thinking of a sneezing, of many questions, even when someone else crashes with us.

But our search indicates that when it comes to feelings that really matter, like restoring a broken friendship or acknowledging that we have hurt someone we care about, we have a hard time. ”

The analysis also indicated that more than two thirds would like to contact a friend they have been engaged in.

And many also believe that reconciliation can strengthen friendship and make it more stable than before.

Meanwhile, one in four said a broken friendship hurts more than a romantic breakup. /Periscopi/
