Social ostracisation and exclusion.
People think these things will probably happen to them if they ever forget to say ''sorry'' once in their lives, in a everyday, very insignificant situation(like accidentally bumping into someone(who was deeply distracted by his/her iphone and social media anyway), or forgetting to text some girl, etc)
