Are the worst. LITERALLY every single one does a stupid tonge-smack thing as a paragraph marker.
And most of them are uptalkers.

Funny story:
Many moons ago we had a guy talking to us at Gateway 2000 about something I don't remember. But he was projecting an AS/400 client screen on an overhead, showing us something. He was long winded and boring, and cutting into lunch, so I quickly conferred with my associate who approved of the course of action and we sent a break message (like a popup msg) to his screen (since it was all on the overhead we could see his session ID), ostensibly from company owner Ted Waite, telling us to break for lunch. If you're clever enough you can submit a command like that from any login name. It was pretty funny, especially because he really thought the guy who owned the company and was worth $4 billion (at the time) was actually telling him to break for lunch, and it worked.

I avoided one at work a couple months back. Learned my lesson years ago. They all feel too evangelical for me.
