Say the word “like” at least 10 times in every sentence they utter? Just mind numbing listening to some of them talk.
Why do Millenials....

How many millennials do you converse with on any given day?
Asking the store clerk who to make your check out to doesn’t count.

Remember, boomers put linoleum over perfectly good hardwood
Know how boomers always end text messages with their name as if we dont know who it is

William I converse with a bunch every day because they work at my company. It is really sad listening to it.
They know to take the reservation, but they don't know to hold the reservation. And that's the most important part!
Yeah, it's not just millennials who say "Like."
Valley girl talk has been around quite awhile. I even say that word a lot and I'm, like, mid-40s, too.
Those damn millennials introducing a language fad before they could even talk.
Why do millennial's say the word “like” in Every sentence they speak?
Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near?
Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by?
Answer: Just like me, they long to be close to you!

I do a good bit of public speaking and I literally video tape myself practicing just to make sure I do not say "um" and "like". Huge pet peeve of mine and its beyond crazy how many older well accomplished professionals say it all the time.
"Basically", i.e., using "basically" in just about every single sentence. That basically drives me up the wall
The whole, I'm smarter than everyone in the room because I have a college degree and 3 years of experience is a little more annoying than the "like's", but not by much.
My boss is 50 and says "like" all the time. It's not a millennial thing. There's plenty of other annoying things that millennials do, so we shouldn't have invent things.
You got one to talk?? Why do they refuse to give eye contact to anyone not on a 5" screen?
Take this Obama crap to the Political Thread.
Am I a boomer? Yeah. Do I ask questions and immediately answer them? Sometimes. Is this a pet peeve? Sure.
My daughter had a friend who visited the house frequently who, honest to god, used to say 'like' 3x in every sentence. I'd get a twitch in my eye listening to her. My daughter started picking up the habit until I began interrupting her with the work 'like' every time she said it. She'd say, 'That's so annoying that you interrupt me by saying 'like'". I'd say, I know. She quit saying it, though. Now, her BF, who is an attorney, says it a bunch, too, and she's back into the old habit. Guess I'll have to start being annoying again. It's a burden.
So, basically, they both, like, say the word "like", basically every two or three phrases? Like, that would basically drive me up the wall in no time flat.
I knew a fellow once that ended most of his sentences in: "....and everything".
I.E. Paw went to town for twine, and everything. Ernest T threw rocks, and everything.
Like, what is the deal with that?

This has nothing to do with millennials...but I want to gouge my eyes out with a spork every time I hear someone say I literally.
No offense, ukalumni00
Was this, by chance, in Paducah? If so, I worked with him. Otherwise - there was another.
I've seen many generations say the word like and ummm and uhh several times ........ there are words your brain falls back on while its trying to think of what to say..... like a buffer word. Its not a single generational thing, its a human brain thing.
