AIBU?
"No offence intended!"

Twice this weekend people have said to me "No Offence intended but..." Then slagged off my husband. Then get stroppy because I've replied "But you have offended by slagging off my husband!"
Why say it when you really mean to offend?

He's become a coach for the sports team after the last one resigned and left the children with no coach with 3 days notice.
The 2 parents concerned think he won't do as good a job as the previous coach! He's only been doing it for a month and they keep going on about what a crap job he's doing! They're a couple so obviously they're discussing him at home and then thinking that they can get to him through me.
They haven't taken up my suggestion of helping him out saying "I'm keeping out of it!"

The previous coach left after a fight with the club and the committee.
The dad also made a massive boo boo at yesterday's match, he sat bitching about dh and this that and the next thing and dh was sat below him separated by a wall and heard everything.

I'm constantly telling dc that if they feel the need to say "not being rude" etc then by definition they are about to be rude so best not to say any of it.
It's none of my business but....
As an aside, people who do nothing then moan about those who give up their time for kids activities drive me mad!

"Of course I haven't taken offence! To have done so would mean I actually give some weight and meaning to the nonsense spouted by a pair of windbags too lazy to get off their arses and do something about it even though they're clearly experts in the matter. Why on earth would I do that? So lovely to see you again, we must have one of these little chats again soon."
