Not a way to start, but turning the apology around to imply it's the other person's fault is a shit move.
"I'm sorry you feel that way."
"I'm sorry you didn't understand."
"I'm sorry you couldn't react in time."
Etc.

I was just [insert action here].
I'm not sure what I've done wrong but..
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.
I'm not sure I understand. Can you give an example of this happening?
anything with the word but in it
I'm sorry that this halibut was good enough for Jehovah
I have made a severe lapse of my judgement and don't expect to be forgiven.
Fire somebody to safe face and take years to realize that you should have apologized.
If you think you deserve it...
Is it in yet?
Fine...
