Begging Your Pardon

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry I’m a few minutes late.

I’m sorry—I almost forgot this appointment!

I’m sorry, I took a nap and overslept.

I’m sorry, what was that? Could you spell it?

I’m sorry, I didn’t get that message.

I’m sorry, I can’t find that information.

I’m sorry, did you say something?

I’m sorry, ma’am. Ma’am?

I’m sorry, but we close in fifteen minutes.

I’m sorry, is there something else I could get you instead?

I’m sorry, but I don’t agree with that at all.

I’m sorry, but I just have to say something.

I’m sorry, my bad.

I’m sorry, I really shouldn’t have said that.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.

I’m sorry, I’m very sorry to hear that.

I’m sorry, I don’t know what to say.

I’m sorry, there was nothing else I could do.

I’m sorry—I kind of zoned out there a minute.

I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry, you know?

I’m sorry.
