Question about English (US)
Sorry to bother you,...
Does this sound natural when you want to be polite?
For example,
Sorry to bother you, I have a question / I'd like to ask something
Wouldn't it sound annoying ?
Like just ask directly instead and go right to the point

It is considered polite to acknowledge that you are interrupting someone. A quicker way is to say "excuse me..."
