I also apologize more than usual. Even at work. But I've also learned that if someone is unfairly trying to blame me I will vigorously defend myself. Maybe even going a fair bit over the top. I feel like people learn pretty quickly that I'm not someone they can just dump stuff on -- I've literally had people say, "remind me not to mess with you".
I'm the nicest most contrite person you'll ever meet -- until I'm not.
