People who use a million “likes” when they talk.
Filler words in general has become a huge peeve of mine, and I've gotten more intolerant over the years. I work two days a week in an office with 5 other people:
1. The "y'know what I mean" guy. "I think I'm going to stain my deck this weekend, y'know what I mean?" "That was a great ballgame last night, y'know what I mean?"
2. The "whatnot" guy. "I just finished up that TPS report and whatnot". "This weekend I'm grilling burgers and whatnot". "Do you want cream and whatnot in your coffee?"
3. The "IKR" girl. Glued to her phone 24/7, any comment made to her gets a verbal "I know, right?" without her even processing what was said.
4. The "umm" guy that uses it every 3rd word. He's got a bit of a stammer and uses it as his pause to try and reset so I do kind of feel bad, but a silent pause instead would do this guy wonders.
5. The "like" girl. My personal record is catching 8 likes from her in a single sentence.
And then every once in a while we get a visit from "What have you" guy from Corporate. Similar to Whatnot Guy, anytime he's listing 2+ items he throws it in. "This week we need to focus on Metric 1 and Metric 4 and what have you". "Last night I caught dinner at that new Italian place, then watched a movie and what have you".
