35 Of The Funniest Ways People Said They Were Sorry

Published 2 hours ago

“Sorry seems to be the hardest word,” sang Elton John in 1976, and decades later, the truth of those words still rings true. It’s never easy to swallow one’s pride and accept the bitter pill of apologising. When we know we’re in the wrong, an apology can soften the unpleasantness, but when we apologise simply to keep the peace, it can leave a lingering sting.

Those who feel forced onto the back foot, compelled to apologise, often find creative ways to circumvent the situation and express their true feelings. These hilarious snippets by clever wordsmiths have captured netizens’ hearts, who appreciate the artful nature of these apologies. We’ve rounded up some of the best examples found online and shared them in the gallery below, offering the rest of us a few lessons on how to say “sorry” while still making our true thoughts heard in a technically polite way.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
