An autistic woman who constantly says sorry has increased her efficiency by apologising in advance for whatever it is she’s probably going to do next, sources have claimed.
Lottie Fitzgerald, 26, is reportedly likely to piss you off at some point, and so may as well self-flagellate beforehand, while she’s enjoying her brief morning burst of energy.
Fitzgerald said: “There’s quite a high chance that during this conversation I’m going to come off as aloof and disinterested - so I’m sorry about that.”
“Once I’ve realised what I’m doing, I’ll almost certainly overcompensate and things will get pretty intense,” Fitzgerald continued. “I’m very sorry about that too.”
“I’ll round things off with an apology for not asking YOU more questions,” Fitzgerald added. “Despite this being an interview. After that, I’ll ask you something wildly inappropriate. Really. So sorry.”
“But at least I get all the apologising out the way in one go, so I can chill later.”
Sources close to Fitzgerald have since reported that she did not, in fact, “chill later”.
