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

Waiting until it's "water under the bridge" and then apologizing because no amends have to be made and it still makes them look better. I'm no expert on apologies as a Reddit post of mine gives away, but one thing I'm sure of is an apology is supposed to be diplomatic.

Side note, I have decided this is the best way to apologize to me. Nothing else is necessary.
