    Also, in 2018, I will no longer apologize for trying to exit a bathroom at the exact moment someone is entering it. I am not sorry. The door is opaque. Neither of us are at fault. It's a cruel coincidence to make us both feel guilty. And we should let it go.

        In situations where traditional etiquette requires a nonsensical "sorry" (someone bumps me while walking) I strive to substitute a so-stern-as-to-be-clearly-comical "HEY! Don't let that happen again."

        I think a nod and smile is all that's needed to move on from the situation.

        Yes, yes! That response only reserved for someone who is already apologizing profusely to me...when I do it, nod/smile works great.

        Relax—you are exiting. It is fine to be polite and move aside for the person entering, perhaps with some urgency.

        Rule is: Whoever's exiting goes first, same as with elevators. .

        Canadians do it all the time and thing nothing of it other than trying to be polite to people...something sorely lacking these days. :)

        The Midwestern “sorry” is apparently more capacious? We use it to mean “I feel bad that you feel bad,” not just the more specific “I feel bad that my selfish decision has made you feel bad.” Kind of wonder if confusing situations like your door thing led to that mission creep.

        You can reason your way out of almost any apology, but it's usually unwise to do so.

        I hope your message goes viral. That's one of my big pet peeves You're not sorry. Nor should you be. You were just trained to use the wrong autoresponse (is that a word? Ok it is now). People need to be retrained to say excuse me. That's the right autoresponse.

        Sorry bro, you got this one wrong. Since the invention of public restrooms, the person exiting is responsible for apologizing in those situations. Please don't help ruin this long standing tradition! :)
