{sigh} I've been thinking about posting about this for a while, but I've been holding off because I'm afraid I'm going to hurt some feelings here. And to all you out there to whom this applies, I just want you to know that I mean no offense. I really don't. In fact, I love you all. I just can't take it anymore.

I implore...no...I beg you to stop using the expression "There you go"

It's not just you. That's why I'm posting this. It's everywhere and it's driving me nuts. It'd be better if you just didn't respond to whatever the other person says. That's all I hear...there you go. That doesn't even mean anything!

And it's not your fault. I know whose fault it is. It's this one guy who I was never all that fond of but he hung in a circle I drank with. He started it 3 or 4 years ago and I saw it spread within this circle. I should have done something then, but I didn't so I take responsiblity. Now it's on TV, the radio...it's mind numbing.

So please...please...no more...TYG. Thank you.
