    Old Reddit lore includes a story from a guy who was playing soccer in high school, and he and another player went for the ball at the same time, and he kicked the other kid in the shin, really hard.

    The kid was in terrible pain, and the guy felt horrible, and in the heat of the moment, wanted to say “Are you okay?” AND “Im sorry!” but just ended up yelling “ARE YOU SORRY?!” It sounded like a vicious taunt at serious hurting player, but it was totally unintentional, and it haunted him for years.

    After that story, “ARE YOU SORRY?!” became a Reddit response when anyone got hurt.

      I’m pretty sure that’s a 4chan greentext, and I think it was even “Are you fucking sorry!?”. I also believe it was kicking a goalie in the face in a more outlandish scenario, followed by yelling that.

        I’ve NEVER been on 4Chan, and I remember the original story on Reddit.

        You are correct that I misquoted him. It was “ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?” as a combination of “Are you okay?” and “I’m so fucking sorry!”

        But I’m positive it was on Reddit. I was there in the early days, and saw all the original lore posts - the banana for scale, the Jolly Rancher story, the two broken arms, the cum box, etc.
