How about:
"I don't mean to offend you, but...."
And then they go right ahead and offend anyway...
or
"I don't intend to be mean, but"
or
"don't take this the wrong way, but"

"I don't mean to offend you, but...."
And then they go right ahead and offend anyway...
And if the person they offended objects, it is quickly followed up with:
"Oh, why are you being so sensitive?"
(said with the accompanying disparaging tonal inflections)

Oh! Another one...
"I see that you have made some bad choices in your life."
Really? Bad choices? Well, f*** me...you should have seen what the other choices were.
I just took the least worse of the bad choices offered to me.

I heard a bloke that kept saying: 'AYAWITHMEH?' (Are you with me?). He was from Leicester UK.

Punk: Sometimes I want to answer "Do I seem like an idiot to you?"
