If you're going to apologize, apologize. Don't try to rationalize the shit that
you are apologizing for. Now, get the fuck out of my office.

8. My dear CaliforniaPeggy, there could never be anything that you would have a need
to apologize for.

5. Oooh yeah...
I think I might be guilty of doing that. That's really bad huh? I'm only trying to explain how I didn't mean it... 'cause I usually don't. If I did mean it then I don't apologize. Simple. :)

7. I'm sorry
But, you see, the thing is that actually I think I was perfectly justified in what I did, so while I am sorry that you got upset about it and all, I guess really I'm not sorry about what I did at all.

:P

18. Have you ever noticed
that people who pull that crap on you come absolutely unglued when you do the same to them?

I have.

22. Unglued, unravelled,
you name it! Don't ever call people on their behavior unless you're prepared to be vindicated somehow.

11. I'm sorry, but the thing is, I thought we had done it like that in the past, and
that was how the production team wanted it to be, and...yeah, nevermind. You're right, I'm a terrible person. I should probably be shot. I guess I'll just go eat worms in the corner now.

16. Heard a great piece of advice about this...
"Never ruin an apology with an excuse."

Hard as hell to do sometimes, though.

29. You're welcome.
It struck a real nerve with me, and I try very hard to live by it. As I said, it's not always easy, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
