Its just so bloody rude and my hackles go up straight away. Its like they are instantly putting me in my place, or demanding some sort of immediate attention. Can't really explain why my reaction to it is so severe but now I have noticed it its REALLY annoying me. I feel like replying with "No, YOU LOOK, I only asked you a polite question, if you can't reply in a polite way then ***k off!"
There, feel better for getting that one off my chest

Here I think its almost the same as 'Well...'.
But yes it annoys me,

OK I've not noticed this but thanks to the thread, I will now find myself waiting to hear it and probably getting irritated as soon as I do

It has to be better than 'OH MY GOD YEAH??' which all people under 20 seem to use to start every sentence these days.
And 'like you know that guy yeah? I was like 'oh my god' and he was like 'i know right' and I was like 'no way' ...which is all I hear on the train home every day.
I'll take a 'look' any day over this pish...

Re: LOOK!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Can't believe that nobody seems to have noticed that british politicians have all started to do it too.
Though they tend to embellish it, as in "Look, lets be absolutely clear about this....." followed by the usual rubbish and lies they spout on any given topic!
