a way to response to an apology
If you say: "hey fuck you buddy!", it means you reject an apology, right?
In rejection strategies, one of apology response strategies, i saw an example "I don't think that dinner's gonna do much now."
I don't understand this example, Can you give me examples for refusals to an apology.
Thank you very much! your answer will help me a lot.

Answer

It's a bit late for that.
You shouldn't have done it in the first place.

Answer

It is on very rare occasion where we don't accept an apology. The only times that I can think of refusing them is in restaurants, shops and hotels. I am in my 50's and I have only ever refused an apology one time but accepted it later during the conversation because of the persons insistence. I never spoke to him again however.
