This always irritates me.

Someone might be talking about the death of a loved one, or some other tragedy, and they start crying. Nothing wrong in that - only normal.

But then they will apologize and say 'sorry...'

It's so annoying.

What is worse is the presenter then inevitably saying (whilst touching them on an arm) no dont apologise it's quite alright

Instead of "oh FFS pull yourself together"

Because we Brits aren't always comfortable with public displays of emotion.

But, yeah, it's just an over polite thing. We apologise for everything.

They never apologise when they cry on X Factor though and they should

Well I won't apologize for this thread. Thanks for the replies.

was thinking this.

If i was interviewing someone about their favourite type of cheese i'd expect an apology when they start balling

[Livia]

I can understand people crying for a reason, but the ridiculous teary tantrums and outpourings of emotion we see at the drop of a hat gets on my pecs. Most of them are right to apologise.

stop laughing you heartless swines

Because they know they're annoying me

I think Brits are just overly apologetic, it's like when somebody barges into you and you apologise for them being clumsy wankers.

That's true. I bumped into a woman yesterday and she apologized before me.
