Yesterday, while driving home from work, I accidentally splashed 3 young people standing on the sidewalk near SE Holgate and Foster. We've had quite a bit of rain in Portland, OR the last couple of weeks and there are a lot of puddles around. Anyway, I changed lanes to make a right turn and didn't see the puddle or the people until it was too late. On the off chance that one or more of them was a Fellow Browncoat, I want to offer an open apology. I'm very, very sorry. Didn't mean to do it. If I may offer a word of advice for the future, try not to stand right next to large bodies of water in a traffic zone.

There. I feel better.

If any of you out there wish to offer similar contrition to some anonymous person you have wronged, however unintentionally, here is a safe environment in which to do so. Let the healing begin!

I'm sorry to all the people my boss makes me lie to on the phone every day because he can't be bothered to talk to them.

When I think of an interesting signature you'll be the first to know.

I'm bad with math. PHEE-NOMINALLY bad. Money isn't much better. I'm an artist, not a mathematician. I have a cheat card in my wallet for figuring tips, and neglected to consult it one day. I've felt horribly guilty ever since.

So to the young Dominos' pizza delivery guy who got stiffed by me to the tune of a well-deserved $5 tip for delivering two large pizzas in the rain for my boss's meeting, I deeply deeply deeeeeeply apologize.

*SIGH* You know, I do feel better.

Today, I refuse to apologize for a single Gorram thing!

Tomorrow will be different.
I'll be sorry then, yep.

I have really been wanting to apologize to the very nice and helpful New York Cab driver,
who got me to my correct destination...

but the fare was more than I expected so I only had enough cash on me to cover the fare,
and nothing whatever for a tip...

I've felt badly about it since 1980

I'd like to apologize to the customer that used every curse word she could remember when I refused her return. I smiled sweetly at the woman and told her to have a good night. You deserved so much more than I gave.

I'd like to apologize to all those folks and friends that I've known over the years that through the processes of time and moving and losing addresses and plain dumb laziness... we've lost track of each other. I'm sorry, you're all very cool people and I miss you. Be well.

Your friends are your treasures.

This has nothing to do with the thread, but it made me laugh out loud. In fact, I'm still giggling as I type....

Anyhow, I've no apologies to make. Let me know when you get around to discussing regrets.

Cheers.

Since you seem to have a regret (or more?), Hell's Kitten, maybe you could start off a thread of that nature. I can tell you that it feels good to get these things out in the open.

I'm feeling pretty guilty that I spent all day surreptitiously writing Fanfic when I’ve got two urgent asset sales to do! I’d like to apologise to my clients in person but then, I’d probably lose my job, so am gonna apologise to you guys instead.

Sorry – I will be more puritanical about work one day – I promise!!

I have always pronounced it "ah-spar-tah-mee" and once got into a day-long argument with my former boss (Larry) about it. HE claimed it was pronounced your way ("aspar-tame")and finally yelled at me that "There are NO words pronounced that way!" Don't you know, just then a gentleman walked in with a Yo-sem-it-eee Sam tattoo and I said, "Look, Larry, Yose-mite Sam."

I love coincidence.

Get it? He didn't either. We didn't speak the rest of the day.

Oddness,

Interestingly, last night I had just left my office building on 5th avenue in Portland, and was waiting at the corner to cross when a bus careened by. Not five feet from me, two people were doused from the waist down.
I have to admit that as I stood there slack-jawed I was inwardly chuckling just a little bit. Now that your post has cast the light of shame on me, I feel horrible.

But, I bet that bus driver was grinning all the way up 5th!

for you, my reputation is fact.

Gin,
Hello, Fellow Portland Browncoat! You don't have to feel ashamed; you were just a bystander and from your point of view it must have been pretty funny. Everything depends on point of view. Remember, tragedy is when I cut my finger and comedy is when you fall through a manhole and die.
Here's hoping you stay dry!

I'm sure I ruined a lady's day many years ago when I asked how far along she was. Yup, she wasn't pregnant...I've felt bad ever since!

NUISANCE

I used to work as an usher at The O'Shaughnessy theater on the College of St. Catherine's campus in St. Paul, MN. I was asked directions to the bathroom and gave the directions to the men's room. The person asking me told me she was a girl. I blushed while I apologized for my mistake and gave her the directions she needed. I still feel pretty bad about it. I'm sorry.

Also, I'm sorry for all the times I've told that story and gotten a laugh out of it. I'm really just a horrible person.

Important people don't do field work.

I would like to apologize to my ex-wife...I'm sorry you were such a whore.

I would also like to apologize to the staff sergeant who just got here from Korea...I'm sorry I called you a peckerhead...I meant to call you a dick.

I'm sorry I farted on the bus when I was in 6th grade and then blamed it on that other kid...I guess it was just serendipity that he had actually crapped in his pants.

To my wife and kids...I'm sorry I smoke so much.

To Big Tobacco...I'm sorry I don't smoke enough.

To My Mom...I'm sorry I was an hour late getting home that one night, but you didn't have to call the cops!

To My Dad...I'm sorry we look so much alike and my life hasn't really amounted to much...Must be too much like looking in a sly mirror.

To FFF.NET...I'm sorry I took up space in the apology corner to post this...But, I can't sleep again...

I would like to apologise to my brain for all the stupid things I have done to myself over the years.. far to many to list all. Things like looking into a large airconditioning vent at work one day and thinking I wonder whats in there... My brain was SHOUTING at me DONT!!! as I stuck my hand in to be fairly well chopped up by a large high speed fan....

This is honestly just the tip of the iceberg, I am lucky to still be alive.

Anyway Brain, sorry for not listening to you more often.

Yup... very useful advice I was given (I forget from whom) - never ask a woman if she's pregnant, even if you can see the baby coming out at the time!

I apologise to Joanne from school... I was trying to be funny and I made her cry... That was twenty-two years ago and I still feel bad about it... I've always been more careful about what I say since then though...

I'm pretty sure most things will end up being my fault, so I may as well just take the blame right now. I'm really sorry. I am a mean ole man.
