I agree. I'm a customer, not a pr type or a personal friend.

I value an "I'm sorry" too for the same reasons as you all mention.

What I find really strange is when friends or family say "You're my friend/family. You don't have to say sorry to me". That's precisely the reason I do - because I value friends and my family... I say sorry and thank you. And I like to hear an apology or thanks when I deserve it.

Too true - Funny how sometimes those that you care about the most - you can show the and tell them the least.

I do not think a simple "I am sorry" is going to help me at all in about 1 1/2 hours when my husband wakes up and I have to tell him I wrecked our car last night. Sad

I used to be one of those people who have a hard time saying "i'm sorry".
Don't want to admit you're wrong, even when you know you really are.

But now I've tried to humble myself, and I apologize when I am wrong, even if the other person is more wrong, and it's a great feeling. It makes my life easier, as well as the person you're apologizing to.

Let's hope he's so thankful that you're safe that nothing else matters.

On the other hand, you can burst into tears and grovel - I find this normally works pretty well. :wink:

Safe, never even asked. Tears, he has no sympathy for tears (makes things worse).

Thanks for the nice thoughts though.

I received an apology from the irate customer I wrote about in this thread!!

How long has it been? Long, eh, since the incident happened. Very Happy

He'd been back plenty of times. Always super polite since last time. Well, he asked this last time for a few minutes of my time. And he goes into a rather lengthy apology.

I accepted. Gave him the apology he deserved as well. He seemed sincere.

It was cool! Felt really good.

Another point for humanity's decent side.

flushd, it probably felt equally good for him too. What a happy ending. Very Happy
