I don't mean to be ... but ...We all hear it. And I swear it is the worst one of the lot.
My boss does it all the time. "I'm not angry, but..." "I'm not trying to be funny, but..." - what a complete load of utter utter shite!
How can you not be something and then come back with a 'but'? Surely it is just easier to be plain with people. You wouldn't go up to someone and say "You're not a twat, but you did this wrong". Just say "You did this wrong and you're a twat."
Honesty counts, and if you come up with the "I'm not... but..." then you've not much hope of anyone having any respect for you.
Rant over.

my wifeDoes this very thing. All the time. She bitches me out then says, "well I'm not trying to be mean."
My reply is always "you don't have to try, it just comes naturally."
