"I don't even."

You don't even...?

I have seen this creeping up all over the Internet - usually to indicate that somebody cannot entertain the very possibility of such an idea.

I find it grating and lazy. It's bearable if it has ellipsis to indicate an unfinished sentence, as if the writer has just given up hope of finishing it off, but I often see it ended with a rather abrupt full stop.

Anybody else noticed this?
