had one of those moments where i heard the words coming out of my mouth and i sounded like an absolute asshole. my answer was clipped, monotone, and blunt. I’M SO SORRY MS. LADY I SWEAR I’M NICE AND NOT MAD AT ALL 😭😭😭😭
It’s awkward but I will sometimes just double back and say something like “hey sorry that sounded ruder/meaner/etc. than I intended” and then sometimes I’ll say the phrase again with different inflection
