People Discuss the Weird & Cringe Things They Say When Trying to Seem Polite

The brain tends to go on autopilot when "polite mode" is triggered. If a cop pulls you over or if you're taking someone's order at your server job, all sorts of weird, cringey, and quirky sentences can come out of your mouth spontaneously. If you've ever said "fantastic" one too many times in conversation with someone you didn't know very well, you're probably familiar with that feeling of cringing at yourself and wondering, "who am I?"

When @__anna admitted that she, too, is "hella fake" at work when she uses words like "awesome," Twitter felt that. Keep scrolling to see some very relatable tweets about lying to yourself for the sake of seeming polite.
