Anytime you have to start out by saying, "No offense, but" you are going to offend someone.
Why would anyone think that asking the person not to take offense before saying something would change whether or not they take offense?
"No offense, but you are the lamest person I know."
"Hmm, well, I would normally take offense to that, but since he told me 'no offense' I guess I can't be offended."
Not likely.

yeah I have caught the kids doing that down here a couple of times when they want to bug each other but make it look like they're not trying to.
