I know exactly this feeling. I’ve done it before and I even look at the ground and close up as I say it. But I do it less as I’ve got older. Perhaps it would be better to say “thank you for your patie...

Not wrong at all, I agree. I just like to acknowledge I'm slightly inconveniencing others due to a condition not many people understand or know how to react to. Now, if the other person is being a di...
