But...

Note to the world: Do not start a sentence with 'Don't be mad at me, but...' You obviously know that whatever you are about to say is going to make the person mad, otherwise you wouldn't have put that ridiculous qualifier on your sentence. The reason I think it's stupid to say it at all is you have obviously decided that the action coming after the 'but' is worth making said person mad, and thus why is it your right to ask them not to be, when clearly you didn't really care enough to alter your action to make it not so? If you couldn't change the action then deal with the outcome of your actions, if you can then change it and don't make them mad.

Also, while on occasion voicemails, texts and e-mails get lost in cyberspace, it's really not all that common of an occurrence, so if you've used that excuse before, try not using it again with the same person.
