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 - 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've been w/ my girlfriend for almost 2yrs now. The first 6 months I cheated. I haven't had a job for most of our relationship. A lot of MY past issues/problems/bad choices, are what seem to be the root to every argument. Whenever I look over at her, she always seems to look so mad, or upset... It kills me inside SOOO MUCH TO SEE HER SAD OR SUFFERING. She is the 1 person who has been there for me the most, and still is...
Apology - I'm sorry baby. I'm so so sorry. I wish I could make every bad memory and moment just disappear. I wish I could write a happy story with all the details of "us"... I'm sorry for screwing up so much, I'm sorry if I ever made you cry, but most of all, I'm sorry that I wasn't strong enough to keep any of it from "not happening..." I love you so much baby, and I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry...
Event - I was cleaning out the garage and came across a box of old paperwork. On the top was stuff from my old job that I didn't need anymore. I just assumed that was the whole box so I chucked it. A couple weeks later my wife asked me to pull out the box from the garage that had our kids' report cards and drawings and other important things. CR*P! I knew right away. But I still got pissy with her for some reason and told her it was dumb to put that in the garage and put my paperwork on top. She said she put old paperwork on top to help protect the artwork under it.
Apology - I'm an idiot. I should have looked through the box and I shouldn't have taken my stupidity out on my wife. Lynda, I'm sorry about that. I never really said that on that day and I should have.
Event - I worked at a vet and somebody brought in 2 baby squirrels that they found. Instead of putting them down, I offered to take them home and take care of them. It was a hot day and the water bottle in their cage looked like it had water, but when I got home later, they were dead. It was just a dried water line in the bottle, not really water.
Apology - Sorry little squirrels. I tried to do something nice. You know I didn't do it on purpose.
