Re: How to be Annoying

Steph:

You are so correct about the 'I'm just saying' thing. It is designed to leave the writer blameless of the snarky comments that were previously expressed. I use it for the comedy value, in that I have never been able to duck blame for insensitive things I say. For some reason people expect more from me and that is truly annoying.

It is like opening a statement with "In all due respect...". Whatever follows that opening is almost never respectful. Whenever I hear, "Lee, with all due respect.....", I start evasive maneuvers and prepare to duck and cover.
