I would think *MOST* people are simply pointing out their own weakness if you will and it's supposed to more of a compliment to you. I understand how certain phrases can sound and I have a few of my own phrases in life that just grate on my nerves. I try to remember though that MOST of the time, people mean well and are not trying to be offensive. (Obviously there are just plain ole mean statements made, but this one doesn't seem to be one of those, imo)
I really try to remember this when I get irritated with "supposed to be nice" statements. I think at times the responses back would be better served if done through kindness or informative rather than sarcastic or mean. I might not always succeed, but I really do try!
