Old Reddit lore includes a story from a guy who was playing soccer in high school, and he and another player went for the ball at the same time, and he kicked the other kid in the shin, really hard.
The kid was in terrible pain, and the guy felt horrible, and in the heat of the moment, wanted to say “Are you okay?” AND “Im sorry!” but just ended up yelling “ARE YOU SORRY?!” It sounded like a vicious taunt at serious hurting player, but it was totally unintentional, and it haunted him for years.
After that story, “ARE YOU SORRY?!” became a Reddit response when anyone got hurt.

I’m pretty sure that’s a 4chan greentext, and I think it was even “Are you fucking sorry!?”. I also believe it was kicking a goalie in the face in a more outlandish scenario, followed by yelling that.
I’ve NEVER been on 4Chan, and I remember the original story on Reddit.
You are correct that I misquoted him. It was “ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?” as a combination of “Are you okay?” and “I’m so fucking sorry!”
But I’m positive it was on Reddit. I was there in the early days, and saw all the original lore posts - the banana for scale, the Jolly Rancher story, the two broken arms, the cum box, etc.

Greentexts are popular outside of 4chan, good ones are often screenshotted and spread around. I don’t have proof that this is the actual original post, but here’s an image of the greentext on knowyourmeme: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2016597-greentext-stories
I’m pretty sure it was just a shop in Lancashire

Shit like this is why the English aren’t allowed to be in charge of their own language anymore.
American English usually pisses me off, especially when countries normalise American spellings or non-native speakers use American pronunciation, but I can’t deny that it usually makes more sense. English English does have unnecessary vowels slapped everywhere, and the northern territories are untameable

It’s one thing to get a little tongue-tied. But if someone says “e ga thebythin” to me, I’m calling the authorities. All of them…

I worked in retail in drug filled neighborhoods.
Customer: “e ga thebythin”
Me: “Haha you know it. Have a nice day.”

I once was buying an energy drink in the absurdly early morning on my way to work. In the pursuit of doing so, I stopped at a convenience store I had never visited before. I ended up the second customer in a line of two; the first was very visibly on … Something. Not in his right mind, is the point. He turned around and greeted me as the cashier scanned his items; I nodded and said hello, then made no effort to further the conversation.
After a surprisingly long pause during which I both suspected and hoped he had forgotten I was there, he refocused on me and said “HEY. Look at me when I’m talking to you.”
As I had done so, I was trying to figure out the least provocative way to respond. A moment later, the cashier said something - I don’t remember the exact words, but in essence it was a very calm “don’t bother customers in my store.” She didn’t yell or threaten, but the other customer immediately backed off. I was pretty impressed, to be honest.
Much as I was grateful for that cashier’s intervention, I never went back to that store.
I told a customer I loved her when she left once. I will Never not think about that during every social interaction ever
Maybe it made her day and she thinks about it with a little laugh and a smile from now on. Love is in too short supply in this world. :p
I’m pretty sure she thinks I have a mental disorder… well the wrong one
I don’t know why but I haven’t laughed so hard since Brazil lost 7-1 with Germany.

Cashier was asking “you got everything?”, not “is that everything?”

This sounds like the name of some obscure alternative medication to fix your knees
Just two victims of capitalism verbally flopping into each other like zombies, nothing to see here.
