对不起 is heavier than English "sorry" and reserved for real fault. The everyday word is 不好意思, which covers embarrassment, a small imposition and squeezing past someone on a bus - the situations where an English speaker would say sorry a dozen times a day. Use 对不起 for those and you will sound as though you have done something serious.
