I’m always amused by waiters/waitresses commenting on any food order with “perfect”; as if they would ever say that a particular dish was awful, or suggest something else.

Exactly.
When people are in the midst of a controversy and say something like, "I feel that I must stand in my truth," they think they're being profound. The problem is that they're leaving it open for anyone else to claim to be standing in their truth, and it all becomes meaningless.
Which of course brings actual facts into question.
It's a wonder we humans continue to get anything done!
“I’m living my best life”. I guess you’re either a cat or a Buddhist then? 
I can't say I find the smell of a vagina something that would make me want to vomit.
Well, I’m pretty sure that's one sentence that has never appeared on Talkbass before.
"That's a lot to unpack...".
Nope. I only unpack luggage, and even then it might sit in the hallway for a week until Im out of clean underwear.

"You/I need to time to process..." . Get back to me when you're done "processing." And no, I don't need any extra time.
"I feel like..." used instead of "I think." If you're not thinking, stop talking.
"I wanna say....". Flippin' just say it.
"Can I ask you a question? " No.

I've seen folks YELL "Excuse Me" when trying to ask a question but it was so uncouth it was bizarre.
I don't mind a question.
"Everyone deserves respect." Upon further thought ... ummm .. no.... no, there just are some that don't. Civility, yes. Respect.... no.
I don’t like hearing “speak to” used in the place of “address” or “comment on” (as in “It doesn’t speak to that particular set of issues” or “I can’t speak to that particular problem”).

When people say, "Follow your dreams" as if they're the first person, instead of the 10 millionth person, to ever say that.
Also, anything in the realm of "YOLO!" "Seize the day!" "Go for it!" "Go big or go home!"

With apologies to fellow posters who may use this phrase, this next one always bugs me in for-sale ads...
"If you're looking at this, you know what this is....."
....which is usually followed by something like....
"I don't need to sell it and I'd be just as happy keeping it, so don't waste my blah blah blah...."
Why not just leave that stuff out, post the price you want, and pretend to be pleasant?
