S'cuse me!!

When is polite not polite?

When it is an excuse to be rude.

I'm sure you have been in a situation where someone says "excuse me!" right before they lower their shoulder and push you out of the way or when they say "excuse me" but what they are really thinking is "did you really say that to me!?" Usually they are itching for a fight.

Here is a general rule of thumb; only use niceties when you want to be polite.

Otherwise what's the point?!
