Ok let me tell the story first to explain why it prompted me to even start thinking and writing about the famous phrase "I am just saying!"
This was a usual Saturday at the Jew Home at 8:30 am when one of the care taker came to the lobby with a care taker who will filling in for her for the next 24 hours. In the conversation with the four of us ladies (there was me, the security guard on duty Sam, Brenda the regular care taker and her replacement who name we did not catch), as Sam and I were trying to get to know the replacement she came off a little hostile about being here. So as asked if she will be here with the resident she replied "Yeap!" and the way she said it, it had a hint of "I don't want to be here!" And the first that came to my mind in which I said "Geçmiş olsun!" Though I did explain what it meant, her following response causing me and Sam to look at her with blank expressions. Yes people, it was a "I am just saying!" moment.
Y'all, there are times that when some people would say these "I am just saying!" with their initial comment, that we just want to either slap the shit out of that person or we will be make a comment back to them to pissed the hell off even farther. Or we would even reply back with the phrase "You could have keep that comment to yourself!" in which you and them get pissed off and it is you wanting to slap the shit out of the person! And y'all know that feeling because you give that person the side eye and it give a though of "What the hell or what the fuck!"
So here is my thinking: most of us used the phrase "I am just saying!" with some of our comments to farther explain what we are already commenting or responding to. I think that some of the most annoying "I am just saying!" comments come when there really should not be anything said when words should not be said, or to further insult someone just for the hell of it.
When it used in a business sense it is often done to prompt one to really consider the pros and cons or in reference. When it used between 2 or more good friends (I said good friends) it is done to help point out some things with the topic at hand unless you are watching one of the Real Housewives soap opera saga, then it is done out of pure freaking spite-full-ness!
But the most common used "I am just saying!" moments are when we (yes, all of you including me) want to give our personal opinion about something that we either know nothing about or we feel that we have to say say something.
