MIDWEST LIVING (or MY
APOLOGIES)
“Oops
Pardon me
Excuse me
After you
I didn’t mean to
No, it was my fault, really
I’m just a bit accident prone
I wasn’t looking where I was
going
Oh, I didn’t say anything
Don’t mind me
I can’t say
I wouldn’t know
You go, I’ll be fine
I’ll just wait here
I’m fine, really
Can’t complain
It’s nothing
It’ll wait
It’s not important
We’ll talk about it later
Never mind
Forget about it
I’m sure it’ll be alright
It doesn’t matter
None of my business
I couldn’t possibly
I don’t want to know
Well, I’ll be”
