WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Please don't scold me for being late; I had an awful time on the way here.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Preemptive Venting as Apology

Rather than a formal apology, people often share an unlucky misfortune immediately upon arrival so the other party sympathizes rather than reprimands.
