"Don't get mad, BUT..."

If you have to preface something with "don't get mad", you should probably just shut up, because they are going to get mad...

 

Don't get mad but i agree with you... now i am confused.

 

yep, I like it when the kids do that. "If I tell you something, do you promise not to get mad?"

 

It reminds me of this ad I saw for a mental hospital, and they keep saying "Its not a scary place" in a semi whispered voice

obviously it was a scary place

 

hahaha

 

I agree. Same goes with "not to be rude but...". That preface is an acknowledgment that what follows is rude and that the speaker is just too damned lazy and uncreative to reword the message more courteously.

 

not to be mean but you need some gum

 

If you were smart, you'd get that fixed.

 

I always say, "Prepare to get mad". Muahahahahaha!!!!!

 

hahaha

I always say that to John, before I tell him anything

I also used to say it to my mom haha

 

My mom uses that phrase with me quite often. Usually it's "Don't get mad, but I spent your check on ...." Usually something completely useless that I niether need or want.

 

dont get mad mitten but



















































































okay i got nothing and i agree. might be the dumbest phrase ever. if i gotta say something that is gonna piss someone off ill just say it. haha for real.

 

Also if someone says "Don't take this personally.." I always do. Usually before they say what it is.

 

Being Submissive I Would think...Fearing someone's Anger...

 

like saying "sorry" all the time. I dont let my kids do it.
