The way many people speak nowadays, i find very annoying and it fills me with a sense of vicarious cringe, as there seems to be a false excitement in their tone over mundane everyday comments, you might say to someone in passing, "nice weather this morning", and they reply " YEAH DEFINITELY ! ", as if at some point between making the original comment and them replying there was a moment of extreme doubt about the weather being nice or not, it gives me the impression that they're not really in the moment but simply giving a bs reflex answer to everybody with an excited tone, like,you might tell them that their ass is on fire, and they'll reply "YEAH DEFINITELY! "
Another thing that annoys me is vocal fry, when people talk like that kid from the movie
" The Shining ", when he keeps saying " Red rum", it comes across like they are trying to give the impression that they don't give a rats or they're simply just too good to be talking to you etc.
What do you guys think about all this.
@Mrchess78 I could be way off base, but I think people believe that responding to a comment about the weather is beneath them. A lot of people have become the most selfish, arrogant people I have ever seen. People often expect to be impressed, as if they have some God-given right to it. They feel that they are superior and deserve a superior quote, conversation, etc. Well, I don't need to tell such people where they can stick their attitudes...

I agree, then there's those type who fancy themselves intelligent and keep using the word 'like' before like saying something frightfully like witty, and there's usually a whole group of these berks chatting together in their little cliques who all seem to talk this same way. :D
I know.... right?

There's alot of it about thesedays, if some aren't affected by it, they're probably asleep or deluded. :)
Full disclosure, Boomer here. Another one of my mild peeves: when asked, they respond with “Yeah, so...” like I should prepare myself for their most insightful thoughts. Next: after we say “thank you” to a customer service associate and they reply with “ Yeah, no problem.” Jeeze-o-Pete... or they just say....”Yep.”
Your talking abaut the weather.What do you expect from them?

I'm glad you mention the, "Yeah, no problem" Phrase that alot of people say, because it kind of implies that in fact it usually is a problem, but they're begrudgingly choosing for it not to be a problem this time around!. :D
