I know exactly what you’re talking about, a new girl at work apologises for everything, and im always like, no need, you had know way to know.
But the reason it irks me is because to have someone apologise to you implies you have reprimanded them in some way, which isn’t what’s happened, and it implies they have acted innappropriately, which is also incorrect.
And that’s important, because if we dont frame it in fault/blame terms it’s more efficient and avoids abrasiveness that may turn toward conflict.
I don’t agree with that at all, if you don’t or can’t understand the terms of a contract, you sign at your own peril, expecting the government to step in everytime a person decides to excercise their stupidity is authoritarian and leads to a bloated, innefficient system. This thinking just makes contracts meaningless, it just means you can claim ignorance everytime you sign into a contract you don’t like.
Regulating food is whole different game for a number of reasons, i dont think it’s a reasonable comparison.
New Zealand understands this, you can sign away a companies liability to yourself. For adventure tourism stuff mostly. It’s a good and fair way to do things I think.
