Tori ... I am never bored and random. I always ask questions for a reason. Most answerers here understood exactly what I meant. Obviously, you are one of those who says "but ..."

By the way ... I am not the one giving "thumbs down". I only gives "thumbs up" ... and then only if the answer warrants it.

I like that Hibiskiss ... that is exactly what is meant whenever you use this word. It's an "eraser!!"

To me that means you aren't brave enough to qualify your opinion in someones personal life. I always just lay it on the line without the attempt at psychological disenfranchisement from a situation I have no business commenting upon.
As far as the but is concerned - usually after preceeding a statement with, "it's none of my business..." you end up looking like a but(t).
Now - to your interlocutors:
If she is bored and random, so what? Ninety percent of answers on here are even worse. At least she asks some amusing comments. Seinfeld was random and pointless, but it was a hit show for years. And, like Seinfeld, I don't find her questions boring. If they are boring to you, why do you bother answering? Aren't there enough other questions to amuse you, or don't you have the intellect to answer the tough ones?
Oh, and I give thumbs down to people often - so many of them earn it with less than inciteful comments. It seems that this site is inhabited by many oxygen thieves.

It's preempting an opinion to let you know that they know they are concerned even if they should stay out of it. It it's a true friend, it's always their business to offer and opinion or advice. If they always kept their mouth shut, how could they be a friend when you really need them. Sometimes we ask for help without words. Friends see the signs and should never have to say, "it's none of my business".

i stumble on the main suitable answer to a question i stumble on too rude is to declare, "Why might you choose for to renowned?" be sure you assert this in a variety and inquiring way. don't be hateful or demeaning to the inquirer. the respond could desire to be some thing like, " i might choose for to get my automobile paid off and questioned if there is any real wish for me." or possibly, "i'm attempting to come back to a determination in spite of if it quite is a greater useful good value option to pay off my automobile or purchase a sparkling one." do not rapidly think of somebody is attempting to pry into your very own organisation. it may desire to be that the guy who asks is somebody who feels close adequate to you to debate very own concerns. If plainly the inquirer is a nosy, nerve-racking man or woman who butts into each physique's organisation, you will quickly understand. Etiquette nonetheless dictates that your reaction to nosiness is politeness. in basic terms ask a similar question, " Why do you ask?" Then follow their lead. If the rudeness of their question is obtrusive, it's time to tell them you do not communicate such very own issues. save that smile on your face.

I had a professor once say that "but" is an erasing word. Whatever precedes that word is automatically erased.
Ex: I really like you, but not like that= I don't like you so get away from me!!
So, basically...they're about to get all UP into someone's business! lol

It is a subtle way of excusing one's nosiness or rudeness. The person to whom they are talking can tell them within a milisecond not to continue if they wanted to. But sometimes, issues are resolved this way. It depends what perspective you are looking at it from. Good question!

It's none of my business but I felt compelled to answer this question.
"but" just means there's gonna be more to the statement, usually a question about whatever is none of my business.

Are you being serious or just being bored and random?
When people are giving advice, and say "It's none of my business, but.." It's just that. It really isn't their decision or something they need concern themselves with, BUT... they have their two cents to offer.

the person saying this wants to deny that they are doing anything wrong--BUT then they have this NEED TO SHOW OFF and will tell you what they know which they were not supposed to talk about.

It`s a catch-all phrase for getting into your business.
