    On a related note, when people start their sentence with "Listen,".
    It can be ok if it's used sparingly, and only occasionally.
    But most of the time, it sounds super condescending to me.

    If you’re getting a lot of that maybe it’s because you give the impression of not listening

    LOL! No. It's not related to me. It's people I see in the media.

    If anybody says that to me irl, I start wandering off in the middle of their sentence. Then stop them and say "What was that? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening". :D

    Listen, like actually I literally did a thing and sorry not sorry because life is too short.

    I MUST PRESS ALL THE BUTTONS!

    If you had managed to fit a "supposubly" in there, I would have passed out.

    OK, I had nothing to do with it, but Matt LeBlanc may be dead by pen stabbing. I felt like I was outside myself, but dreamt that it happened. No, I've never been to Manchuria? Why do you ask?

    “So I did a thing..” (Big eye roll) 🙄

    “Sorry not sorry”... 🤨

    I didn't used to mind "So I did a thing..." but it's become SO overused and obnoxious. People using it for stuff like voting, a grocery run, or highlights in their hair.

    A few years ago when I first heard it, I didn't mind because it was stuff like a total career change or buying a house.

    when people say "I do be..."

    like "I do be going there often"

    Really? That is prevalent?

    "Great catch!"

    I have heard this 3 times today...In the context of...I fixed the mistake you made before it became a disaster. No...no, it wasn't a "great catch", it was an obvious error on your part because you didn't check your work. Don't make it sound like I should be proud of myself for noticing and correcting your sloppy mistakes.
