Dear God we Canadians are far too polite. Already this morning, I participated in a living example of this phenomenon.
When the bus pulled up, I gestured to the person beside me to go ahead of me. They smiled and shook their head and gestured for me to go first. This silent politeness ballet went on back and forth for seconds until finally, as inevitably happens, we both reluctantly decided at the same time to take the other person up on their offer and ended up squishing together as we tried to get through the door at the same time. (I believe that was God's way of figuratively clanging our befuddled heads together).
Sheesh (which surprisingly is also the sound we made as we banged together).
