Say you were granted an opportunity to apologise to anyone (living or dead) that you'd seriously pissed off in the past, and have that apology accepted who would you apologise to and why?

I'd apologise to my friend for not been there when he died. We had a little argument as I didn't want to go to a party.

He went and was spiked which resulted in his death the next day. I would apologise for not been there. If could go back I would and I'd have gone to the party and maybe he would still be here.

I'd apologise to my mother in law for not being a great DIL (she had a stroke last year and isn't really with us any more Sad I'd also like to apologise to a friend cut ties with - I had to stop hanging out with her when I quit drinking a few years ago as she and I are not a good recipe for sobriety. I've never explained to her why I suddenly stopped responding to her texts and she really deserves an explanation. Maybe some day I'll pluck up courage to tell her Wink

I would apologise to my mum. I was really horrible to her (typical teenager) and she killed herself a few hours later.

On a lighter note, I would apologise to the owner of the car I knocked a wing mirror off. Still feel bad about it 20years later, especially as someone did the same to me recently but left a lovely note on my window leaving me their details.

ele sorry to hear that Sad

On lighter notes I'd apologise to the woman who's skirt my son lifted and shouted no Willy at. I was too shocked and embarrassed to do more then hiss "come here now" at him. He's 2 btw

I'd apologise to a man I was kind of seeing as a teenager who I really like and who liked me but for some unknown reason I treated like dirt. Wasn't a big massive deal but I do feel a bit guilty about that.

Also, I'd apologise for coming across as smug at Uni at times. Not all the time but sometimes I think my friends and I came across as thinking we were better than others - we weren't thinking that, quite the opposite but when my friend started going out with someone from our course he told us they called us the 'alpha females' and I don't think it was exactly a compliment!!

Oh SP if we're apologising on behalf of our children I'd be here all day!!
The woman ds called a man, repeatedly and loudly.
The owners of a cafe where dd has been sick thrice. We no longer go there.
The teenage girls trying to look all alluring to their male peers whilst sunbathing whom dd spilt a bucket of freezing water on.
All the children dd has ever met for the fact that everything in her line of version is 'mine'.

....

It's funny now but at the time I just wanted the floor to open up! He rushed off before I could say anything. I was mortified.

It's a regular occurrence as he's learning that boys and girls are different. If he's not checking other people he's showing people what he as.

My three year old had a good old pants off fumble in front of my landlady the other day I didn't know what to say, neither did she Blush

I'd apologise to the guy I borrowed some books from at uni. I never gave them back. Can't remember the details but I was homeless for a spell, kipping on a mate's floor and I think the books were at my parents house.

I've always felt ashamed about that one.

I'd apologise to my dad for laughing off his sudden weight loss as 'a good thing' as he needed to lose some weight as he died of cancer a couple of months later.

I'd also apologise to the absolutely lovely, thoughtful, caring guy I treated like shit in a relationship when I was in my mid twenties and a commitment-phobe. He really didn't deserve it!

To the lovely lovely boy that I was just beginning to "see" when I was 17, I met my husband a few weeks later and treated you very badly and you were lovely and very very rideable handsome as we used to say. If it helps I'm still with my husband 20 years later and I hear you became a Doctor (my Mother loved telling me that one Grin)

A really nice guy who was keen on me in my early 20s. I just led him on a bit then stopped talking to him for no reason, it was so shitty I am just not like that at all I don't know why I behaved like that.
Another guy from that time but I can't tell the story on here it's too awful and outing.
