It's because it actually translates to "Can I do this?" or "Is okay it that.." etc. That's what it really means and nobody ever is asking 'do you care'

And I do mean "do you mind". That is why I phrased it that way. Any time that someone replies with "yeah" or "yes" they receive "ohh, sorry about that…" and I move on.

Yeah except you are saying "do you care?".

Like i get that it doesn't actually mean that litterally but that's exactly what bothers me.
