So ... You know what's annoying?

People getting annoyed with things 18 months after everyone else.

No intention of trying to prove it but I'm pretty sure I was trendsetting in my own dislike of "so".

It's a form of cultural appropriation. Only bog trotters like Shan should be allowed to pepper their speech with so.

I can't stand the replacement of all verbs of speech with 'was like...'

'I said, 'Go away'' becomes 'I was like, 'Go away''
'She responded, 'No I won't'' becomes 'She was like, 'No I won't''

Waiters hovering about topping up your wine glass especially when they do it without asking first.
