That's actually part of your charm, Dinah. :-)
As long as you don't feel inadequate about apologising or feel that you MUST each time, I don't mind.Even I say "sorry" often at work. Fellow coworkers or customers tell me not to apologise so much or feel bad about it. But people tend to misunderstand a certain amount. When I say "sorry", I'm not blaming myself for something I didn't cause - I'm expressing my feelings of sympathy (sorriness) that they have to experience whatever it is, no matter who causes it. It's empathy for another who's affected by it.
