I know its Christmas and its the season to be jolly and all of that but I just have to vent about something that bugs me. Dont you hate when people say 'no offence' or 'I don't meant to be rude but' right before they say something offensive? Just because you say no offence does or put a disclaimer before whatever inappropriate thing you are about to say does not mean its not offensive or rude!!!!!
How about this, the next time you say no offence or (insert any other ridiculous disclaimer), just stop there and say nothing. Yes, yes I know most of you are thinking won't it be weird to leave the sentence incomplete and just hanging? It probably would be but this way we can be sure no one is offended and its better that people think you cannot construct a full sentence than that you are rude. Trust me on this, its better .................. and exhale
