'I'm just human'.

I really dislike that phrase.

Another is "I'm only being honest" usually right after saying something thoroughly rude and unnecessary.

@Serenitree: @Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Or people that say they're brutally honest as if it were endearing. I find that they care far more about being brutal than honest
