They want to know if he will say “sorry” for being late. After another five minutes, he finally arrives.However, he doesnt say “sorry” when he arrives. To their surprise, he simply says, “Hey, thanks for waiting.” The others say “Youre welcome” and then they open their menus（菜单）and start to order food. Life goes on and all is fine.Canadian sociologist（社会学家）Maja Jovanovic told this story in a TED speech. In her speech, Jovanovic says that sometimes we should say “thank you” instead of（而不是） “sorry”.
