True story (more than once, much to my chagrin):
Am I annoying you? Because if I am, I'll stop.
I'm not annoying you, am I? I don't want to annoy you.
I'm annoying you, right?
I'm so sorry, I know I'm annoying you.
I'm not annoying you by apologizing, am I?
Because I really don't want to annoy you.
I know you don't like being annoyed.
I'm sorry if I was annoying you.
Oh wait, this is probably annoying, right?
Just let me know, because I'll stop,
because I really don't want to annoy you.
Are you sure you're not annoyed?
I'm not annoying you?
Not at all?
Beacuse if I am, I'll stop...
The person I was talking to, the whole time kept saying, no, it's all right, it's fine, I'm not annoyed, and finally said, will you stop apologizing? Just be quiet. And I got it.
You HAVE seen the Monty Python skit like that on "How to annoy people" correct? There's one almost exactly like it.
