"With all due respect" could imply that no respect is due and therefore none is given

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Somehow that never occurred to me.
I use it a lot.
It's corporate speak for please shut up and listen to me because you're conjuring bullshit straight out of your ass.
Example
customer: I don't want to do x thing for y reason because it could cause issue a issue b issue c etc
Me: with all due respect sir, I believe you may be conflating possible issue z with issue x. Fortunately we do not have to worry about issue x because of reason. Furthermore, even if issue x happened, this would be the result of that failure and it would create issue d or issue e or even issue f but not issue a or b or c.
For me it means I put all the respect I can bring up not to punch you and at least sound respectful, but you're an idiot and what you want is bullshit.
I got it! You work for alphabet.
