I just did a fairly thorough web search on object versus abject lessons. It appears an "abject lesson" is an eggcorn despite how common it appears in British and Indian press

That has been an object lesson for me. In the spirit of this thread, please accept my abject apology.

LOL! I thought you were joking! No need for an apology, just smile, nobody will know the difference. ;-D

Oh, wait, you WERE joking, and you STILL are...! Went right over my head, ROFL!

My “duh” blonde moment for the day.
