Do you feel like somebody owes you an apology right now? Most people do. So I tried to make this video blog an instructional video about the do's and don'ts of apologizing.

I'm not too sure about the gift-giving. A girl (notice I'm not saying 'friend') once mistook a joke I made. After I found out I felt really bad about it so I got her a plant to say sorry with. Since that I have discovered she reguarly makes people feel bad about things they have said to her (I once witnessed two separate apologies over one lunch). So from now on I'm gonna go with be sure the person deserves an apoloogy and if you know them well enough you shouldn't need to buy them a present unless it's somehow cool and relevent to the apology and will therefore be a positive thing rather than the 'I'm sorry I broke your pocket watch...here have a plant' guiltgift. Plus, if they leave the sorryplant to die.........
Overaplogising can also be problematic.

You knew a girl who carried a pocket watch? That's unusual! Wasn't by any chance a Ball Trainmaster, was it? If you were going to say "sorry" with a plant after breaking a Ball Trainmaster, it would have to be a full-grown Super Skunk in flower. Just sayin'...

No, I know a guy who has a pocket watch. But I did break it. He did tell me I should get one. It would be kinda cool I guess. He actually knew a girl who smoked a pipe...That's unusual!

I'm sorry, but you really should be wearing a white lab coat in the grainy, b&w, pseudo-old-film segments. Especially on an ABC-sponsored blog

178 days since the Great Ankle Injury, and never a word of sympathy from the illustrious Miss Brigitte... and I've never so much as misspelled her name!
Perhaps this put her into an apologetic mood?
Maddy's impression of a wounded/crying dingo dog was truly amazing....Does she do other impressions?
It's said that being in love means never having to apologize... that is so wrong...
Do you still post photography on Flickr? A link would be pleasant...
Is someone you know meant to apologise to you Brigitte? Tell us who's hurt ya feelings and we'll sort em out for ya.
Great video and great advice. Also to be avoided is the non-apology, as in "mistakes were made". - David
I think I'll get my revenge list and send everyone on it this video. Give them one last chance to apologize before I unleash my wrath.
Maddy's non-bowing trick is really cute.
