Doesn't it p**s you off when someone says "No, offense, but...", when you KNOW they KNOW they are going...?

Question

to offend you?

Answer 1

Yes!

Answer 2

It offends me but usually doesn't make me angry, because I usually think it's stupid and lame.  Instead of getting mad, I want to laugh in their face.

Answer 3

.....Isn't it more/also like a way to excuse themselves of the fact that the truth is not always convenient....?

Edit----Ok, I agree that "Look, I don't like that..." is better :)

Answer 4

yeah...but it's more awkward when they don't say it, to me

Answer 5

h**l yeah!

Just like the line in Talladega Nights, Will Farrell says With all due respect, and then totally insults the guy he's talking to. The guy calls him on it, "you know, you can't just say With all due respect and then insult me because there is no respect in what you just said!"

Answer 6

Yes it does.My other favorite is "just".When you tell a kid NOT to do something and they come back with "I'm JUST gonna do" exactly what you told them not to.

Answer 7

Yes, it does (no offense).

Answer 8

YES!!!! Or when they say " No disrespect, but...." It basically like saying I'm about to say something to offend you so I'm going to sugar coat it so that I can seem innocent.

Answer 9

  it depends on what they have to say.  Every one has the right to an opinion and perhaps their opinion is different and wish to express it awithout offending you.
