Is it me or is "I'm sorry that you're upset" the most bullshit apology EVER. If you do something that upsets me, you should apologize for doing it, not apoligize for my feelings about it. Because while we're on the subject of being sorry, I am sorry you are such a douche.

DUR.

Yes non-apology, apologies are the worst. I got one the other day. "Sorry I'm so vicious, will you upload my website".
Whatever!

Confusing Lord of the Rings for Lord of the Flies....priceless.

How about "I'm sorry you feel that way" or the classic, "What can I say so you won't be mad any more?"

OMG - that is my fave passive aggressive apology... I am guilty of using it once.

"I'm sorry you feel that way" is used when someone is apologizing not for their action but for your reaction, like in a restaurant with an overly demanding customer. Now WHY did someone like you get an "apology" like that, one has to wonder??
