I honestly think some Americans aren't used to passive aggression, indirectness or sarcasm. That's why some of you don't get Canadians aren't particularly 'nice'.
IME they're always saying sorry and apologizing, but like the brits they don't actually mean it most of the time. In fact, sorry can mean fuck you, depending on the context. From what I understand, the whole 'bless your heart' thing in the American South is similar. That whole thing is also incredibly condescending and smug.
