"I'm sorry you feel that way" is up there.
Only right answer.
If you don't think the same, I'm sorry you feel that way.
And that's most every corporate apology out there!
Classic non-apology.
It’s not that I did anything wrong, it’s just that you decided to feel offended about it, that’s the real problem here.
I saw a standup comic talking about people getting offended once and he talked about this saying. I am HEAVILY paraphrasing but...
"Im sorry you feel that way" isnt a real apology, but its how I feel about people coming to a show, laughing at 9 jokes and then being personally offended by the 10th. I dont want to offend people. That joke has killed the last 20 times I told it so while I'm not changing my jokes I genuinely am sorry they feel that way."
