I'll give it a shot, "I thought I apologized already, but whatever…"

    I had a teacher tell me to drop out then be forced to write an apology letter for it.

    She wrote "I'm sorry you thought I told you to drop out."

    So I'm gonna say "I'm sorry you thought" is high up there. Straight up gaslighting.

      Drive me nuts.

      Its definitely some fucked up attempt at uno reversing. They can't admit mistake. Or worse, rather than try to understand the disconnect, they went into "it's your fault".

      Don't confuse it with the "I'm sorry you feel that way" as sometimes it sounds similar and used to the same effect, but different because it's not trying to shift blame, but acknowledge your emotions.
