When it comes to my life I'm negostive, but I am 95% positive to others and their lives when they need words of encouragement. I care about others, just not so much myself.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused


Has any business phrase ever reached such an appalling level of sigh-inducing tepidness as the standard wording for "there was a problem and we're sorry."

Such is its banality and ubiquity that it potentially communicates the opposite.
When I read "We apologize for any inconvenience caused," what I understand is...

"We're not sorry. And we don't care about your problem or what we did. Because if we really did care, we'd bother to say something meaningful rather than fob you off with this inane attempt to convince you of our
apparent regret."

Customer service emails and apology emails that follow screw-ups are full of this phrase.

When did we forget that we're talking to people?
Fight the gentle pull of tired stock phrases that have lost any positive emotional impact.

I got all teary-eyed during the commercial that shows some far-away troops getting a delightful snowfall and then cuts away to a kid who has just seen Santa saying that he asked for something special for dad. (sniff)
Then I was a p'sd off at myself for getting emotional when I saw the ad was from WalMart.

Same here. I can see why those commercials have been so successful for the ASPCA. It's impossible to watch them and not want to do something to help.

People tell me I'm an extreme optimist. I expect everything to turn out fine, and I'm usually right.
