People who’s first word after being asked a question is the word SO.
I can’t tell you how much this annoys me at the moment.

Me too. Equally annoyed. Used to be "well", now "so".

Totally agree. I was only saying this to my wife the other day, seems to be happening more and more.

More worrying for me but I have just realised I am one who uses So to start a sentence quite often. Oh well, who cares.

When I worked in Holland, there was a Dutch guy in the office who would come in and say “Soooooo!” In a James Bond villain sort of voice before taking his jacket off and sitting down. Never worked out what that was all about.

It's a bit better than 'at the end of the day', but worse than the incorrect use of the word 'who's'.

And then goes on for ages, yes ?
Well tell her when she finishes, ‘Well that wasn’t basically was it ‘ ?
You know you want to.
