Can we all just agree that when someone asks "no offense" they're usually about to offend you?

that's bs. "no offense" is just a polite way to give an opinion. if you get offended, that's on you.

haha that's so true! it's like a universal sign that something rude is coming next. "no offense but...

same, like warning labels are a waste of time "may contain offense, including not respecting personal boundaries

aren't they just trying to take away their own accountability, like, seriously?

nah fam, that's bs. "no offense" is just a polite way to say something that might rub people the

okay but isn't it just as insincere when people say "no cap" and then proceed to voice their entire

Totally agree, and can we also acknowledge that saying 'no offense' doesn't actually excuse the offense?

no offense, but isn't that just aFACT

Is it really a stretch to assume that's true?

um dude thats like saying "no offense" is hte warning sign that signals a mushroom cloud of shade

are you surprised that people use it as a precursor to being a giant django?

do we say "no offense" when we're just trying to be polite, or is it actually a reflex to deflect when we know we're

no offense but you're right on the money with that one 😒

omg no offense but that's hella true lol

no offense, but that's a really obvious observation

fr that's so true. no offense but if someone says that, they're about to say some wild shit and i'm already bracing

that's a pretty generalising statement, some people genuinely mean no offense, don't lump everyone together

yeah fr. and its like, even if they dont mean to, the "no offense" just makes it worse lol

actually, it's more like when someone says "no offense" they're trying to cover their own ass in case they do accidentally offend you, so

no way, "no offense" is just a polite way to say something that might be a little harsh. it doesn't mean they're trying to offend you, chill out.

Yeah, it's like a magic wand that turns their words into landmines

yeah, it's like, what's the offense that comes after they "no offense" isn't something you'd be interested in hearing?

idk man, sometimes people genuinely don't mean to offend, get over it

No, people say "no offense" to soften the blow or apologize in advance, it's not always about to be a personal attack

totally agree, it's like, go ahead and offend me, i can handle it. but also can we cut down on the "i'm just trying " speech afterward.

so why do people still say it like it's a free pass or something?

that's a really good point. how do you even respond to that without sounding defensive?

idk, my mom says that all the time and she's never actually about to roast me

yeah, like "no offense but you're hte worst

nah, not always true. my grandma says 'no offense' out of habit and genuinely means no disrespect, lets not assume

yessss that's so true! and meanwhile, people say "no ones gonna be offended" right before dropping

yeah for real. whats the point of asking "no offense" if youre just gonna say some messed up shit anyway?

no lies detected. and they usually follow it up with some real offensive shit too.

that's just when you're being politely nuanced and the other person's too dense to catch the hint

omg yes, and it's even worse when they follow up with "i'm just being real" like no, you're just being rude

obvi dont wanna be offended but that's like saying a saftey patrol at a rave dont wanna shut down the whole party

no, they're about to offend the fuck out of you

come on, do you really think that's fair? a "no offense" is just someone trying to be polite, even if they end up saying something awkward. get off your high horse and give people the benefit of the doubt once in a while.

no offense, but are you just realizing this now?

do people really think starting a sentence with "no offense" somehow magically cancels out the fact

totally agree it's like, why even say it if you know you're about to give shade anyway

no offense but so true, it's like the ultimate red flag 🚩 they know what they're about to say is trash but they still say it anyway

usually they're just looking for permission to say something without getting called out on it, am i

Does that mean we should just assume they're about to offend us and call them out on it instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt?

right? and it's usually the most offensive thing they're about to say. no filter at all.

for real, what's the point of even saying "no offense" if you're just gonna be disrespectful?

for real, anytime someone says "no offense" it's like they're just giving themselves a free pass to say some messed up shit.

no, not always. my grandma says it to ask if i want chinese food and it's literally a genuine

nah that's bs, "no offense" just means they're trying to be polite even if what they're about to

no offense but how about you mind your own business and let people say what they want?

No offense, but you're right

no offense but fr why r people like that? like just say what you wanna say and own it.

um what if someone's literally not trying to be offensive?

no offense, but that's literally the whole point of "no offense" 😂

lol isn't it also when they say 'i'm just being real' they're about to be a hater?

fr tho, what's with that "no offense" bs? you know they bout to say some wack shit.

fr, like why even ask if you're just gonna say some offensive shit anyway?

dude, no and sometimes people actually just mean no offense. chill.

for real tho, why do people even say 'no offense' when they're just gonna be rude af anyway?

idk, that's a pretty cynical way to look at it. some ppl genuinely don't mean to offend.

yessss and can we also agree that people who say "with all due respect" are usually about to show zero respect?

did they really need to ask "no offense" in the first place? like if you're not trying to be offensive, why bother

Actually, that's not always true. Sometimes people just want to give a controversial opinion respectfully.

offended by that statement

totally agree on that one. but like, can we also say it's a cop-out?

what's so hard to see that's gonna change? are you expecting them to be less offensive just because

nah idgaf if someone says "no offense" or not, if what comes next is whack then it's whack

that's not even true. most people just want to soften the blow before landing a hurtful comment

lol idk about that, but can we all just agree that when someone says "no offense" they're usually

is that really even a thing people still believe? i mean, it's not like they're actually concerned

same, and let's also acknowledge that people who start sentences with "no disrespect" are literally about to disrespect you

totally agree, every time I hear that phrase I'm bracing myself for the bad news

really, it's not that simple - don't think people use "no offense" because they're insincere, more

nah that's bs. when someone says "no offense" they're just tryna be polite even if what they say is

hard agree. and if they follow it up with "i'm just being honest" then it's a guarantee they're about to say some

So true, it's like they're telegraphing their intentions. And then they have the nerve to be surprised when you're actually offended.

I don't think that's always true, some people are genuinely trying to ask a question without offending.

if someone starts a sentence with "no offense" you should just skip to the part where you're

nah, that's bullshit. sometimes people just wanna say something potentially controversial without starting a fight. get off your high horse.

that's a load of bullshit. people say "no offense" because they're trying to be considerate, even if they sometimes miss the mark. not everything is an attack.

fr, what's the point of saying "no offense" if you're just gonna be an ass?

yeah fr, it's like they're giving themselves a free pass to be an asshole.

no offense but "no offense" is usually code for "i'm about to say something offensive

fr tho, they always say some fked up shit after that.

facts. that's like saying "i'm not racist but..." and then saying some racist shit.

fr, like do they think saying "no offense" gives them a free pass to be a total jerk? 🙄

omg yes and can we also acknowledge that "just being honest" usually means theyre being kinda savage??

no offense, but isn't that the most obvious thing anyone's ever said

yeah right, like asking "no offense" is a shield, it's like saying "harm not" before you punch someone in the face

yeah because they're not trying to start a conversation, they're trying to warn you of impending doom

am i supposed to take that as a profound observation or a lazy attempt to be woke and sound clever?

no offense, but that's the truest shit i've heard all day. you're right, that's basically code for "get ready to be pissed off.

no offense but i'd rather not agree to that. i'm pretty sure they're just asking to be polite

yeah it's like they're giving a free pass to be a jerk

Only if it's followed by "I'm sure you're interested to hear my opinions now that I've pre-warned you".

only when it comes to putting their foot in their mouth.

yeah that's just their way of pre-gaming the inevitable "what i meant to say was

nah, that's bs. "no offense" just means they're trying to cushion the blow.

yeah, or they're about to get backhanded into next week

no offense, but that's damn accurate
