On an advertising theme
related to the whole Tesco shenanigans, I once had to apologise to an irate telly viewer who thought I had deliberately placed an advert featuring cute animated kittens in an ad break in a documentary on Channel 4 which featured Japanese perverts who got their kicks from watching sexy ladies in high heels crushing cats. She had Googled until she found the agency which bought the media and then got me on the phone. The only credible explanation was that I had a sick mind, apparently. I started off by trying to explain that it was a coincidence but in the end I just said a very humble 'Sorry' to try and placate her, and then received a lecture on why I really wasn't as clever or funny as I thought I was.

I have also had to apologise for spelling someone's name wrong in an obituary in the newspaper, although I will swear to my dying day that she'd spelled it wrong on the email and then failed to point this out when I asked her to check the proof. Still, you can't argue with the bereaved.
