Professional Apologizer
Japan seems to be the source of many a weird job, including what must be the sorriest job in the world (hah!). The Japanese are known to be very formal when it comes to business relationships, so they traditionally employ special people to express regret and make amends on their part.
Nowadays, however, similar jobs exist at customer support departments of large companies all over the world. The “apologizers” are hired to write apology emails, offer discounts and ask for customers’ feedback on problematic issues.
