"Sorry for looking into your eyes without permission" is a trend on TikTok where if you watch a video like a spirit sighting or something, you have to say "Sorry for looking into your eyes without permission" or else the spirit will haunt you until you die.

Random guy: *sees an unnerving video*
Random guy: oh my god i'm sorry for looking into your eyes without permission
Random guy number 2: bruh you can't get curses via bluetooth wtf
