War of Contrition


as opposed to a war of attrition, wherein two or more parties wear each other down over a period of time, a war of contrition is a situation where two or more parties won’t stop apologising to each other.

usually this happens because everyone is eager to avoid confrontation but if often leads to further disagreement.
motorist #1: oh, g-d – i scr-ped your door with my b-mper! let me pay for that…
motorist #2: no, no, it’s my fault, i shouldn’t have parked there.
motorist #1: well that’s hardly fair, i should have been looking where i was going.
motorist #2: look, there’s no need to get upset, i’ve said it’s my fault, and i’ll deal with it.
motorist #1: mate, this was clearly my doing. let me pay for it.
motorist #2: listen here – it’s my car, i parked it badly on this corner, i accept full responsibility!
motorist #1: fine then! -rips wing mirrors off motorist #2’s car-
eyewitness: that was a real war of contrition right there.
