So this is what was behind me on my bus ride this morning:
“And um, like, then we went to the deli and got like cold cuts and then, like, made sandwiches and, like, ate them… Well, then the cable was off and then, like, we had to find something else to do so, like, we did and, like, it was fun, and, like…”

Two girls, I’m guessing in their 20s. Penetrating, nasal voices. You just couldn’t get away from them. I literally started counting the number of “likes” per minute, and seriously contemplated telling them what my total count was, until I went with the “non-crazy lady” option of putting on my iPod.

But for the record? Please — if you must use “like” in the manner above, no more than once per sentence…and the same goes for “you know what I mean?” Because chances are, I know what you mean. :) I’m with ya!
