I have only said it as part of an apology.
"We have been waiting 20 minutes!"
"You're absolutely right, and I apologize. We will try to schedule better in the future."
I have never said it to someone with whom I was having a regular discussion.
OTOH, I used to overuse em dashes because the Mac made proper typesetting possible. It used to be the sign that someone had read the very useful The Mac is not a Typewriter by Robin Williams.
So, sort of like when I tell an agent "that is not what I wanted!"
and it says "You're absolutely right, and I apologize. I have fixed the issue now"
They were trained on you, mate.
