Your most hated way that people speak.

My two are politicians who always begin their sentences with "Look," and people who go "Aaaaaaaaaaarhhhhh" before they say anything.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I always think "Look" precedes a rehearsed answer and "Ah" simply means they have to think about the answer.  ::)
"Obviously" is the one that always annoys me, if it was that obvious, I wouldn't have asked  >:(

"So ...." It's apparently been called 'the millennial so' it fills the millennial pause.

I have no idea where it came from but starting every sentence "So ...." is beginning to annoy me in the spoken word, I can sort of understand why they feel the need but it's not required. What I don't understand is it creeping into the written language. It's extra work all for nothing, why on earth are people doing it?
