    This is a new thread, yeah?

    There is a new contractor in the office, who thankfully I don't need to speak to that often, but he is within earshot.

    He finishes 95% of his sentences with "yeah?" at the end of them, even those that do not need to be questions.

    My old gran, god bless her soul, smacked that habit out of me when I was younger and started using "right?" in a similar fashion.

    I'm not sure who is worse, him or the guy that says "pacifically" when he means "specifically" 20 times a day.

    Me? I'm perfect obviously!

      Pacifically, what are you incinerating?
      The vegetarian option.

        I think he should use the nucular option.
