Please stop calling me out.
This was written about me personally.
I did an experiment. I went to our local grocery store and I apologized to every person I walked past. “Ope! Sorry!”
And every single person said, “Oh no, you’re fine!”
Nobody asked me what I was sorry for. It was just kind of assumed that I was sorry for existing, and if that isn’t the most midwestern thing I’ve ever heard of, I don’t know what is.
I didn’t think I knew what “ope” meant until you said the phrase “ope! sorry!” and then I was like ‘does everyone not use this phrase’
