It’s not easy to apologise, and most people would like to avoid it entirely if possible, especially men. Well, it turns out that it’s possible to have a specialised agency do it on your behalf, Oddity Central in Japan reports. They have these ‘apology agencies’ through which people apologise to those they fault.
I can see why these businesses are so successful — it’s really tough to face the person you’ve wronged and tell them that you’re sorry. It’s a highly uncomfortable situation, especially if you’ve made someone angry or hurt their feelings.
By hiring an expert, not only do you get to avoid the discomfort, you also make sure that the person gets a proper apology. These agencies train their employees to handle things based on the gravity of the situation. These people are professionals, and it looks like they can get you out of all sorts of sticky situations.
For example, they may send a person pretending to be your parent or friend to break up with a clingy lover. Or they may call your workplace pretending to be your wife and tell them you’re sick, on those days when you’d rather not go into to work.
About 40 per cent of their customer base is believed to be female. Some of the most popular reasons for approaching apology agencies are problems with money or love.
Prices vary depending on the nature of apology required. They offer face-to-face apologies, email or phone apologies, with some even offering ‘apologies while crying’ services for particularly angry people! These services could be coming to a town near you in Kenya, hang in there.
