Your PUN made me laugh right out loud, Kate_S
Few things are more hated than a pun...well, maybe a mime
(or a mime that is punning a pun).
I think people say "no pun intended" because they know it is the lowest form of humor, but they are still hoping to underscore the "joke" and hoping you will laugh at it.
Or, they have realized too late as the words are exiting the mouth, that what has been said WILL be taken as a pun, but they hate puns, too, and so they emphasize that they were not intentionally trying to be punny.

Maybe they're being sarcastic, or they like cliches, or it's just a habit....or it could be that they're just being a dumba$$

Because they don't understand the phrase, or think they are clever.
