Last week I watched a woman at the hardware store apologize four times for asking where the wood glue was. Four times. To a person whose literal job was to tell her where things are. She said “sorry” before the question, “sorry” during, and “sorry to bother you” twice on the way out. She wasn’t awkward. She wasn’t rude. She was someone who had been taught, a long time ago, that needing something from another person was an act of taking.
