Two of the most important words in the English language are “please” and “sorry”. As in:
Customer: Please cut this sandwich in half.
Worker: Oh, sorry. Sure.
Neither word is really necessary. But they go a long way to keeping things calm. And now a pet peeve of mine. I wish cops would use those two words more often. It can help to keep things calm.
Cop: “License, registration, and proof of insurance. You’re getting a ticket.”
Better:
Cop: “License, registration, and proof of insurance please. Sorry, but you’re getting a ticket.”
