“Sorry about that” and “I’m sorry” are they not the same
Not the same,, one stated who is sorry and the other didn't

Nowadays, the word ”I’m sorry” has become normal to some people they find it difficult to accept the word due to the way people often use it.

It is just an ordinary word to them. They say it anyhow expecting the other person to accept the apology.

One will tell the other one “I’m sorry” and the other fires back “is it sorry that I’ll eat”.

Therefore, here are ten other ways you can exhibit your remorsefulness without sounding cruel:

I apologise…

I had that wrong…

I take full responsibility…

It was all my fault…

How stupid/careless/thoughtless of me…

My mistake..

Pardon me…

Oh, my bad.

That was wrong of me…

Sorry about that.
you can put the blame on me grin

I rather use the phrase "many thanks for understanding", and I'm usually sincere about it.

Some people are just inhuman, I tell you their Madness is in Grades, the one that abhor 'I am sorry' at full grade will sounds like this with your suggestions

I apologise…Eat your Apology

I had that wrong…i hope it's not me you're telling that rubbish?

I take full responsibility…Why not take half responsibility?

It was all my fault…Umn Umn its my own fault blockhead

How stupid/careless/thoughtless of me…So you knew all these yet you still exhibit your foolishness

My mistake..Stop telling us what we know!

Pardon me…Go elsewhere to beg for pardon

Oh, my bad.....What is this one talking about?

That was wrong of me…I am not asking you, OK?

Sorry about that....Go and eat your sorry

It can go on and on, Craze people full naija. Some don't just want you to sound very intelligent they are bent on keeping you looking miserable... Just by luck you meet a good person, 'sorry' alone, he/ she moves on.

I wanted to say they should go try it with their civil servants at the secretariats or the police, FSARS, Customs etc and get eaten raw grin

Hello everyone, Corona Or No Corona, we all must die at the time God wants us to die if God permit Corona to affect us so be it if HE will it, and for we expecting Mr. president to talk on this issue, I feel he supposed to at least show concern to the citizens, it will cost him nothing to do so...
And as we are focusing on #CORONA, let us not forget the issue affecting us in Lagos.
Many Issues sprang up recently about the #Okada and #Keke Ban, and I believe is also a #National concern, we have to react to this if not very soon the Government will also place a ban on the amount of air every Nigerian[/b]must breathe in a day[b]>>>>>


HEAR WHAT LAGOSIANS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
