Lifeprotip: If you have a friend that is always saying "no offense" or "not to be mean", remove them from your life.

It is not uncommon to have a "friend" that will often say things along the lines of "not to be mean, but...", "no offense...", "I just want to be honest with you..." only to say something along the lines of "your baby is not that cute" (heard this one in real life), "you're a lot less attractive now" (heard this one too), "you just aren't as great of a singer as you think you are." These people tend to say this so that they can say something that they know is offensive or mean, but don't want to take any of the heat from it.<br><br>If someone wants to say something along those lines, they have no good intention to start with. They want to take a shot at your pride and make themselves feel better. If you have a friend that does this, they are no friend of yours. Remove them from your life cause they are just a toxic waste of a human being.<br><br>Edit: Holy smokes this took off.<br><br>Edit 2: Thanks for the awards.<br><br>Edit 3: Thanks for the gold and other metal!
