45 Times People Wrote Such Hilarious Apology Notes, Recipients Just Had To Share Them
Interview With Expert
I’m a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. So if someone has hurt my feelings, a simple sorry isn’t always going to be enough to earn back my trust. I appreciate it, but only time (and actions) will tell if the apology was truly sincere. So if you’re looking to speed up the process of earning forgiveness, incorporating some humor into your apology might be the perfect way to do it!
Below, you’ll find photos of hilarious apology notes that Bored Panda has compiled from all over the internet. Enjoy scrolling through these silly ways to say sorry, and keep reading to find a conversation with Molly Howes, PhD, author of A Good Apology: Four Steps to Make Things Right!

Two Dogs Couldn't Resist Eating The Mail Lady's Lunch, Then Wrote Her This Note

Considering how badly that could all have gone, kudos to all involved for the way they sorted it. And yes, the dogs look cute and as if they are just waiting the opportunity to reoffend. :)

I carry dog and cat treats in the work van. At one site after I gave the dogs a treat, I went off to do the job but left the side door open. I thought I'd give another treat but couldn't find the bag. Very happy dogs and empty bag on the lawn....🤣

Left dog is like, "I ,uhm, just follow orders." Right dog, with steely resolve and Clint Eastwood voiceover, "Seems we have ourselves a tattletale."
To gain more insight on the topic of apologies, we reached out to Molly Howes, PhD, author of A Good Apology: Four Steps to Make Things Right, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.
When it comes to what's required to make an effective apology, Molly says, "If you’ve screwed up or made a mistake or hurt someone, what’s most important to bear in mind is how the other person felt. Your apology should express interest in how you affected them, take responsibility for your action/inaction, make recompense or repair, and give assurance that you won’t repeat it."

We were also curious about common mistakes people tend to make while apologizing. "Obvious amends-making mistakes include: blaming the 'victim,' (I only did it because of what you said first); making excuses (There was a lot going on/ I was confused), saying 'but' or 'if' (I’m sorry but you know I didn’t mean it/ I’m sorry if you were hurt), leaving things vague (I’m sorry for what happened), and doing the same thing again," Molly shared.

Received This On My Door This Morning From A Neighbor In My Apartment Complex
It was so thoughtful and sweet! I rarely hear the doggo, and I'm okay with dogs barking. What a wonderful pet owner. I want to set up a doggy gift bag or something for her and her dog. Any ideas?
catslave6 1 year ago (edited)
Give them a thunder shirt for the dog. It might help ease the startle reflex. I'm certain Amazon, or just about any pet store really, can help you find one. You will need the dog's weight, measurements from shoulders to tail and around the chest (just behind the front legs) to get a good fit. Good luck to all. Sweet note, good neighbor, cute nervous dog!

@Simon...first, giving birth or not doesn't count. The worst parents are sometimes birth parents and the best can be adoptive ones. It's common for any pet owner to refer to them as kids or siblings to their actual kids. Kids having their own pets will refer to themselves as "mommy/daddy" and is actually good training to give them an idea of real human parental responsibilities.

Dr Edward Bach's Flower Remedies are great. A few drops of the Rescue Remedy in the drinking water work wonders. Also, doses given orally.
When it comes to incorporating humor into an apology, Molly says humor can be a great way to join together or build on common understanding. But it might not always be appropriate. "I expect a common mistake is to be funny too soon, that is, before you know how the other person was actually affected and before they know that you understand," the expert explained.
"You risk hurting a second time because of insensitivity – especially if the humor attempts to minimize the harm done," Molly continued. "Later, that same funny line could be fine. In general, it’s smart (and kind) to take your lead from the other person’s readiness."

Making apologies can be tough for a variety of reasons, one of which being that you’re never entitled to forgiveness. The right thing to do is fess up to a mistake and inform the other party that you feel guilty, that it won’t happen again and that you’re hoping you can move past it. But it’s up to the receiver of the apology to decide whether or not they accept it. So it’s best to be sincere when making a plea for forgiveness!
According to Harvard Health Publishing, there’s an art to giving heartfelt apologies. And step one is understanding where the other person is coming from. If you’re not sure if you actually owe them an apology, be sure to consider the situation from their perspective. Would you be upset?

Next, it’s important to be genuine when making an apology. Even if you want to incorporate humor, because you have a close relationship with the person you’re apologizing to or the situation wasn’t very dramatic, you have to mean what you’re saying. To accomplish this, the late psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Lazar believed that a great apology incorporated four elements: acknowledging the offense, explaining what happened, expressing remorse and offering to make amends.

As with anything else in life, apologies aren’t only about what you’re saying, but also how you’re saying it. “I’m sorry that you feel that way,” sounds very different from “I’m so sorry that I made you feel that way.” Be sure to take responsibility for what exactly happened, and don’t use a passive voice. “Mistakes were made” is not the same as “I made a mistake.” And avoid blaming the other person for their feelings or your behavior.

Another key component of an effective apology is promising to change your behavior in the future. There’s no point in saying that you’re sorry if you plan on acting the exact same way tomorrow. Remember that apologizing is only half of the process. You also have to implement the changes that you promised and work on repairing the damaged relationship. Even if all you did was eat your pregnant wife’s last chocolate bar, you better be sure not to do it again. (And buy her more, so she has a healthy stash on hand!)

As painful as apologizing can be, research shows that genuine apologies can actually increase empathy and forgiveness among victims. A heartfelt apology can even decrease stress levels and reduce heart rate. And while it’s important to know how to make amends effectively, it’s also wise to know what not to do when asking for forgiveness.
Andrea Bonior, PhD writes for Psychology Today that one common mistake people make when asking for forgiveness is “retrying their case,” or attempting to explain why they didn’t actually do anything wrong. This is likely to only make the wound deeper.

An Irish Apology
While a great apology requires you to promise that your behavior will change, be careful not to promise anything that you can’t deliver. If you came home late one night and forgot to inform your partner that you would be staying out until 2am, promising that you’ll never go out with friends again just isn’t realistic. Or if you’re uncomfortable with your partner tracking your location, don’t assure them in the heat of the moment that you’ll allow them to track you all the time. Be willing to change, but don’t overpromise. Or you’ll end up issuing a whole new apology soon after the first.

It’s up to the other person how they want to proceed when an apology has been made. Don’t pressure them to accept it immediately.

An Apology Letter I Wrote To My Mom 12 Years Ago
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
I think it is very valid, especially for a child, to explore WHY they were rude/mean/lashed out at someone. Young brains and young emotions are wild, and part of learning to fit into society is learning WHY you felt the way you did, and what you can change in the future to control those emotions. Even adults can benefit from exploring the "why" aspect if they were rude to someone, as the answer isn't ALWAYS "because I'm an a-hole". And Bionicles are (well, were) a line of toys made by the Lego Group.

Not in this case. Gambling (also known as betting or gaming) is the wagering of something of value ("the stakes") on a random event with the intent of winning something else of value, where instances of strategy are discounted. Since the niece was given a scratcher as a gift, they wagered nothing. Therefore, they aren't gambling by scratching the ticket.

"Hey, I stole this stuff when I was blacked out at your party. I'm really sorry guys..."
Natasha Arruda 1 year ago
Aww, I want to know what was stolen! It's fun to look at the random assortment and try to figure out why someone wanted it. Like Muffin-Doorknob above.

Many years ago me and my roommates had a big party. Someone took a very big mirror with them. We never found out who or why, but we had a lot of ideas about the possible reasons

So, presumably, the thief didn't reflect on their actions?

I Got Drunk And Slapped My Roommate. Here's My Apology To Him
Karina 1 year ago
Not accepted! Dont ever slap no nobuddy. If you will do it once, you will do it again. And really, bacon Vs bodily autonomy? Where's the cilli-cheese??
Mike Beck 1 year ago
I dunno. For some thin-sliced, crispy bacon I might very well let someone slap me twice.

Wife Came Home To This
Jennifer Smith 1 year ago
I've melted a cutting board before when I was trying to brew tea, but turned the wrong k**b. I had to put a note on my stove top that says, "NO!" Next to the k**b for the large front eye, and "Yes!" Next to the small eye in the back. Sad to say, more than once, I found myself almost making the same mistake, except for the notes.

Honest question: does anyone know why the US has so many gas stoves? Is it just because gas is cheap there or are companies lobbying for it or whatever? I haven‘t seen a gas stove in Germany ever. I’m not saying that there aren‘t any, but they are very rare. All the flats and houses I‘ve visited or lived in had normal electric stoves. And nowadays it‘s mostly induction. Even restaurants (I work at one). The last time I saw a gas stove was in the 90s at my Grandmothers in Poland.

I could be wrong but I think the one in the pic is electric? That kinda looks like a coiled heating element. I also prefer gas in the UK, heats up quicker- although I feel like they'll phase them out in the next couple decades.

Someone Left This Inside My Gym Bag, What?
Mrs.C 1 year ago
I'm going to start doing this with the stuff I don't want. Leaving vases in unlocked cars, perfectly good but but unneeded dishware in a basket on a porch, DVD's we no longer watch slipped into shopping carts at the grocery...
Brian Droste 1 year ago (edited)
Be careful about slipping things into other people carts at grocery stores. They walk out with the item and they get caught, they could be charged with theft/shop lifting.

HOW is there a situation when a horse pees on a car?!
Cold Eagle 1 year ago
The question is was the note found hidden in the car or was it placed on the windscreen recently for the current owner?
Seanette Blaylock 1 year ago
I don't think so. Only animal I know of that does that would be a dog.

Even if the money was there, I don't think $50 would be enough to get rid of the smell of pee.

My Neighbor Is Horrible At Parking, So I Left A Note. This Is Their Response. I Completely Understand
Andrew Keir 1 year ago
"We're sorry" might have been better - take responsibility for your own mistakes and cover a bit for loved ones
Curbz81 1 year ago
My neighbour is too scared to pull into her garage and leave her car blocking my spot u til her husband gets home and moves it. I have asked them to at least pull up close to the garage so i can fit by. This bothers me so much that as a woman she has been taught to believe a man can handle a car better. I swear i’m going to start parking it for her

My Kitten Got Mad Because I Had To Shut Her In My Room For A Bit. He Wrote An Apology Letter
Tabitha 1 year ago
So where's the transcript of the apology letter? I would like to hear what Putty Tat had to say.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
According to OP on Reddit: "It’s a page from the ‘Treasure of Lemon Brown.’" It's not a note at all. I don't know why BP added that bit to the post title. The original post's title on Reddit is just "My Kitten got Mad Because I Had to Shut Her in my Room for a Bit." Nothing about writing an apology letter.
Load More Replies... Tyelel 1 year ago
That's not anger, it's distress. Cats are naturally fastidious, and the whole point of them relieving themselves in litter or a natural place outdoors is so their waste can be hidden/buried. It's an instinct that protects them from predators. That mess has waste in it; kitty is showing signs of distress. Not revenge, not anger, not making your life hard. Anxiety, folks. Kitty says being isolated is stressful and disrupts her routine.
Andrew Keir 1 year ago
"... shut *her* in my room..." vs. "*He* wrote ..." - mis-type, or trans kitty? Does look sorry , though
Feathered Dinosaur 1 year ago
The last sentence was added later by someone else (BP author?) who didn't really check the first sentence. Or who just assumed everything not wearing a pink bow and makeup must be male. Yay for patriarchy

Apology Not Accepted

So the "apology" for that much damage to a car is putting graffiti on it? The offender needs to have a sex act performed on them with a cactus.

Nothing Says "I'm Sorry" Like A Well-Thought-Out Handwritten Note
Say No to Downvoting 1 year ago (edited)
Was in a bad place a few years ago and the old mental health was poorly. Driving 3 mad kids to do grocery shopping and one of them yelled while I was parking causing me to mis turn and graze a car next to me. Although I wanted to, in all my soul, just run away I did the right thing and left a note. 2 days later I got a call from the most delightful old gentlemen who thanked me for my honesty, said not to worry about the car and chatted to me about everything in the world for half an hour or so. He was 80-something years old and had been widowed a year ago. I enjoyed chatting to him. As I said, was not in a good place at the time but I really wish I could find his number again and bring him a banana bread and offer to mow his lawn.

Wonder if it’s an easily findable homemade soap that was made by the person who hit their car 🤔
Rachel Pelz 1 year ago
The soap makes it even worse and more evil than the other one. I damaged your car, may be expensive to fix, but here's a soap which you may hate the flavor of? Douchecicle.

"Hi, My Name Is Jack. I Accidentally Hit Your Car"

While technically an apology note, this one kind of doesn't have the same air of honesty to it :)

Understanding the complexities of human apologies can be likened to managing instinctual behaviors in pets.
Much like how words alone might not suffice in mending human relationships, recognizing a dog's natural instincts, like those detailed in the importance of recognizing and managing pet behaviors, is crucial for pet owners. Just as sincere apologies others' feelings can strengthen bonds, addressing your dog's needs sincerely can foster a deeper connection.

Cmon, dude. If you hit someone's car, write them a not and actually do something helpful! Even if it is hard for you money-wise, they might be understanding.

I broke someone's tail light a few months ago. I left an apology and contact info, but I couldn't as I had a bunch of kids on a trip needing to get back. I was surprised the owner hadn't phoned, so I called the place we had been visiting - it was one of those sign in with reg plates. Turned out it had rained and the ink had run and the other guy was livid. After a quick phone call, he calmed down. I'm glad I thought to follow up.

If I see someone hit a car I photograph their license plate. If I can I also ask to see their driver's license and photograph that as well. I'll then leave a note for the owner of the damaged car with my details to let them know I have the license details of the person who hit their car, plus call it in to the police in case my note goes "missing". Zero tolerance for people who do the dirty when they've damaged someone's car or property.
