#2 is kind of cynical.
I don't like how people apologize.
"What's that for?"
"Oh, it's just a needle. I have to give myself a shot based on what I eat. It's no big deal. I'm a diabetic, but it's manageable. I don't mind."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
It tempts me to say, well, if you're truly sorry, $100 would help. Because sorry's don't do anything except exhibit unnecessary pity. We're not aliens. We're in fact as normal as the next guy.
