Starting the answer to a question with “look”

[whatdoidonowffs]

Is it just me getting the hump with near enough every politician starting to answer every question with look or well look 😡

I always think it's code for 'this is the last I'll say on it, now shut up'. Really annoying. I'm a cranky sod though I grant you!

I find it aggravating when everyone uses the word 'so' at the beginning of a sentence

Another pet hate, but beloved of BBC newsreaders, is the overuse of the word 'those' ~ e.g. "We're just waiting for those guardsman to line the route down The Mall"

However the one that annoys me most of all is when food items have labels which say things like "Try me ~ I'm soft and juicy." Grrrrr😖

I’ve noticed this as well. It’s so patronising!

"Let me be clear" is worse. Politicians or idiots on Twitter - you know what's coming next will be sanctimonious guff 😂

Found more and more politicians saying this during this campaign and I find it incredibly condescending and I instantly lose respect for whoever is speaking.

At least they're giving you fair warning 😂

YANBU. It is a rude and contagious habit.

YANBU

Anyone starting with "look" or "listen" is instantly ignored.

Always hated that

'Look' sounds like they don't think you've been listening or you're an idiot. Always annoyed me too.

They should switch it up and try "Listen". That would be ruder. Or other senses. "Smell". That would throw the interviewer off.

😂😂😂😂😂

It gets on my tits. I get the impression the people who use look to start their answer think they're more knowledgeable than the questioner and their answer is the be all and end all. Well they can fuck off.

It’s a common thing in Australia and I’ve always found it rather agressive - don’t like it!
