The last time I said sorry was in this morning. Before being out of work yesterday, a colleague who works from home asked me a favor to turn off her computer, but I forgot it. This morning when she came to the office, she saw the computer was still on. Then I apologized to her and she said: it's ok, don't worry.
The last time I apologized was yeasterday when I said an ugly word in front of my friend.
All the videos are not playing not working
sth is wrong
Hi omaymaahmed,
Thanks for letting us know about the problem. I've just checked this video and other videos in this section, and they are all working OK for me. Please try again, as it may have been a temporary problem.
If the videos still do not play for you, it's possible that there is an issue with your device or internet provider, or the videos may be blocked in your area. Perhaps you can try using another web browser or another device to see if that works. I hope you are able to watch the videos in the end.

When was the last time you said sorry for doing something?
The last time when I apologized was the week before when I was showing my project to the guy who finances it, and It started to work randomly.
I don't remember it.
i don´t remember it
It's good!
Admitting that we did or said something wrong, and then apologizing to someone for it, can be nerve racking and scary, but it does not make us small.
