SERIOUSLY NOW:::: “Defending Against ‘I’m Just Saying’ and Other Verbal Annoyances”
Empowering comebacks to: “I’m just saying:”
- “I know – and I’m ‘just responding’ to what feels like an insult.”
- “I know – but the fact that you are ‘just saying’ something offensive doesn’t make it less offensive.”
- “I know – and what you’re ‘just saying’ is offensive Hey, I’m just saying.”
- “I know – and I’m not sure you recognize that what you’re ‘just saying’ comes across as critical, hurts my feelings, is insulting, etc.”
- “I’ve thought this through and I’m comfortable with what I’m doing. I’m not seeking input on this.”
- “Thanks for your input, I’ll take it under advisement.”
- “Thanks for your input. I’ll let you know if I need any additional opinions on this.”

I don't think I can remember anyone who likes to say "I'm just saying" to me or else I will remember to use one of your comeback lines on them the next time they say "I'm just saying" to me.
"Just saying" thanks for the smiles!
Hope you got my Voice Message! Love all your jokes and sayings, as always! You two have a great week!
A good post, Joe
Hmm...am shy to leave voice message
I tried the voicemail twice again. Not sure why I can't hear it play back. Hope you can hear it.
