why do people consistently apologize for things they have no intention of remedying?

if one has no intention of fixing the subject of the apology, one clearly does not find enough wrong with said subject to do anything about it... so why apologize for something that is not wrong?

one should never apologize simply because he or she feels the sudden urge to verbally undo whatever bad thoughts he or she thinks the apologizee has of him or her because of said thing.

in short, if you get drunk at a party in front of me and i am sober, don't think i somehow think less of you and apologize incessantly for letting me see you in such a state. i clearly don't care.

i have to go mop now.

lesson for the day:
when brittany finds herself in a situation in which she is uncomfortable, she promptly extricates herself from it. otherwise, don't worry about it. she really could care less.
stop pretending you do.
