Hey! I'm Walking Here!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where do you think you are, New York City? In Canada, there's only one thing you say when someone bumps into you: sorry. The classic apology can mean anything from sincere acknowledgement of a mistake to passive aggressive annoyance. Just be sure you don't put any stink on the word; as annoyed as you might be, it's important to say sorry without sounding like you're trying to start something.
