* A parent may say to a child "Sorry isn't enough" to explain this lesson. The child may need a while to understand it, since we are taught to say sorry when making a mistake.
* Radio host [[Don Imus]] once referred to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "Nappy-headed hos". Note that the women were black, with "Nappy" being a racial slur. Imus made a public apology, but he was soon fired from the show. It didn't help that he said after, "And it was a straight-forward apology that Charles and I wrote. And I didn’t offer any I didn’t think it was necessary to offer any excuse, and I don’t think there is now. "
* In her comic memoir ''Return to Society Punch!'', Naoko Takeuchi recounted that everyone at Kodansha was ''so'' sorry because they lost several pages of her follow-up series ''PQ Angels'', and they kept passing the buck. Needless to say, she did not accept their apologies. (This was before digital backups and scans.) To add insult to injury, she was pressured to do another long-form series after finishing ''Sailor Moon'', despite begging for a break, and she was burned out from working all the time. Takeuchi got so fed up that she quit Kodansha, took a long-needed vacation for a year, and went to work for Shueisha instead.
