A thought / pet hate that came to me while writing that song

(And I do this, too, unfortunately. So this is not meant as "The whole world is full of Rotten Idiots!" rant. I'm just sayin')

One thing I hope never to hear coming out of another human being's mouth, but I chances are, I will, anyway:

"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it."

As in (for example):

Person A: "How can you be so F*-ing stupid?!"
Person B: "How can you be so hurtful?"
Person A: "Oh, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it."

What? You lost consciousness for 2 seconds, your body was taken over by a rudeness demon, and you lost all control over your tongue? Blurting out hurtful words is not like slipping on a banana peel. Words don't come out of our mouths without intent. In that moment, you did mean it, and you really did believe it, even if you'll believe differently later.

Saying you "didn't mean it" is simply a way to avoid responsibility for wrongdoing, by treating it as if it were an accident.

A better response would be: "Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. I shouldn't have said that."

That is all.
