Last week, after Rep. Joe Barton apologized to BP for what he called the White House’s “shakedown” of the company, Republicans and Democrats alike couldn’t believe it. But you know what? Maybe there are some things for which we need to apologize to BP. ApologizeToBP.com is up and running for everyone to air the grievances that they’ve committed against BP. You can also use Twitter to show your remorse for the awful things you’ve done to BP with the hashtag #ImSorryBP.

Grist did a round-up of the best apologies, and we chose a few of our faves:

#ImSorryBP for not giving you your props for the 8 other oil rigs you operate that are hardly leaking at all.

#ImSorryBP That people keep referring to the Exxon Valdez spill in reference to your spill. It isn’t fair. You totally kick Valdez’s butt.

#ImSorryBP for not appreciating how much easier it is to barbecue pre-oiled shrimp. And can I add Thank You?
