I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism.

Oh, but some of us are so darn good at that! Lately, every time I want to apologize for something, I've been trying to determine exactly and precisely what part of the problem I am willing to own responsibility for and do something to correct, and apologize for that.

I can predict where this may lead to: Amusing apologies from me to certain others like "Sorry, I could have handled that better, but sometimes I really enjoy being an ass around you." Which is at least more honest, and thus perhaps more useful, than the more common synonym "Sorry I upset you."

Yeah. That sounds about right.
