Event - My buddies girlfriend broke up with him, so I decided to take him fishing just to get away from her. We were fishing off the pier and weren't catching anything. He told me to hold onto his fishing pole while he went to the bathroom, and while he was gone, he caught a fish. It was bigger than anything I'd ever caught. I knew I had a few minutes before he came back, and before I knew it, I was taking it off his hook and putting it on mine. When I saw him coming back, I started jerking the pole like I hooked it, and brought it in. What made it worse was he was totally happy for me.
Apology - I failed so bad! I started off doing something good for my bud. Then I stole his fish! It might have made his day. I was a pretty bad friend, but I think I've made it up to him since. I introduced him to this really nice girl who he's now dating. Forgiven?
Event - I was working in a teaching job that didn't require me to have a diploma, but I felt the students would give me more respect if I had some. So I just printed some off the Internet and Photoshopped some fake info and my name and hung them up on the wall in my office. Not very ethical probably.
Apology - I didn't do anything illegal (I don't think), but a relationship between a student and a teacher should be based upon REAL respect and honesty. Sorry to the students that I betrayed in that sense.
Event - My mom died about 5 years ago and had a handicapped placard for the car so she wouldn't have to walk far. After she passed away, I kept using it till just recently. They expire, but most cops just see it and move on.
Apology - Very wrong of me. I'm lazy and selfish and there's no reason to take someone else's space. If there is any karma, when I really need it, someone will take that space away from me. Sorry if I inconvenienced anyone. I will no longer use it.
Event - It was the 9th grade and all the kids were getting class rings. They were ugly things that no one would ever wear. I didn't order one. But there was this guy I hated that did. And every day at lunch we'd all hang out by the handball courts and shoot the s**t. And everyone had their new rings to bring home. He had his in a bag because it didn't fit right. He turned around for like 10 seconds and I tossed the bag into the trash. As I was walking away I could hear him cursing things like "where the hell is it"! It took me about 2 seconds to feel really bad. But I kept on walking. I figured I'd come back after school and dig it out, then get it back to him somehow. But I searched through the whole can and found no ring.
Apology - Maybe he found it. I don't know. But I felt so bad about it that I didn't even go to school the next day. It was the end of the year anyway. And no one wears those things, right? Trust me that I felt really bad about it.
Event - Our dog is not evil. But he was for one day. Charlie (the dog) was in the backyard with me when I heard some whistling in the front. So I opened the gate a little to see who it was. Charlie dashed out the gate and leaped on the whistler...an 83-year old woman. I quickly got him back, but not before he chomped on her leg - lots of blood. By then my wife came out and we brought her inside the house - so apologetic. Then the old lady lowered the boom. Smiling, she said, "If I could survive the Holocaust, I can survive your dog." Arg! She also mentioned later her son was a lawyer - great! But nothing became of it. She was walking by the house the next day, with a metal rod in hand. "My son said I have to carry this now on my walks."
Apology - She was so nice and said not to worry, but we felt so bad. We apologized a hundred times, but I'll do it again here. Sorry lady!
