Mitth :
But if I'm not wrong why am I apologizing? 🤔

Accountability should also be truthful. Someone shouldn’t apologise for something they didn’t do or accept blame simply to keep the peace. A meaningful apology should reflect genuine responsibility, not responsibility that isn’t theirs.

But you are taking accountability for something you did wrong. It is wrong to hit someone with your wheelie bag, whether or not it was intentional.

Using the same analogy, you don't say sorry for rolling NEAR someone's foot because it made them FEEL like you might run them over.

Why can’t ppl be “wrong”? Who cares?

My wife 100% uses me saying sorry to prove she was right and I was wrong

I think the intention here is noble, but it can’t be a blanket way of thinking. Apologies and regret are so situational and subjective. I could see a lot of confusion coming out of this practice in real life.

I’m going to take this a step further. When someone tells us sorry, we should really with “Thank you”, rather than “It’s ok”

so many people don't even take accountability with their wheelie bag running into someone else.

gotta disagree with you there Simon. A sorry is not taking accountability. accountability is done through actions. words can amplify your actions, but unless there is a change in behavior, then the apology means nothing

Tried to explain this concept to a narcissist using this exact analogy, and she was like “but what if they just put their foot there to make me run over it?” like girl it was already an analogy & you’re STILL grasping at straws so nothing is ever your fault 🙄

But if you keep hitting me with your bag, and keep apologizing, accountability is not the issue.

Well theres a reason they dont want to take accountability… cuz then that would mean they are being vulnerable to being percieved by their own ego as a failure or as a bad person. That is why narcississts have a hard time taking accountability

An apology does not always mean, “I was wrong about everything.” Sometimes it means, “I recognise the impact of my actions, and I take responsibility for my part.”

Accountability is not about losing the argument, it is about strengthening the relationship. The ability to reflect and take ownership is a sign of emotional maturity and leadership.

frank Wright :
What about when your wheelie bag is on the other side of the concourse and some how they say you ran over their foot or instead of a wheelie bag I have a back pack and they say my back pack ran over their foot. My problem with this take is it can be weaponized.

Manos Thanos :
This is a terrible analogy… The premise is about saying sorry even if you are not wrong; the analogy is saying sorry for something wrong but not intentional that you did. Simon usually uses good analogies but this is not it

KG423 :
but if I mean what I said and intend to say it, then taking accountability and apologizing makes no sense

Bromius :
Bad analogy. Because when pulling your wheelie bag into a person’s foot, you apologize for not exercising due care and caution. You’re apologizing for the negligence which caused the accident. If the other person wasn’t looking where they were going and jumped in front of you before you could stop your cart, you wouldn’t need to apologize.

jarelldjackson :
problem at this point is everything is becoming emotionally weaponized into something that requires an apology.

One time I accidentally ran over a lady's foot with a shopping cart. I immediately apologized, but her response? "Watch where you're going!" with the ugliest scowl on her face. to which I promptly said, "I take it back, I am most definitely NOT sorry." and walked away. 😄
