Are you irritating in RL? (light hearted)

I notice I have started to say "Wow", more or less every time somebody tells me something.

" My daughter works in London" Wow, really?
"I've done 2 Pilates classes this week" Wow, amazing

This must be very irritating for others.

I think I’m probably very irritating in RL!

I also say “wow”, it’s seems to fit lots of announcements and responses!

I’m also a pedant, which means I annoy myself with my parrot responses.

I know irritate myself, so I must drive others mad! 🙈🙈

Never mind! I do have some good qualities too and I’m old enough not to care too much!

What did we say before Wow was invented?

A lady I have just met talks non-stop and her reply to me if I make a remark to engage in actual conversation, is Right, then goes back to what she wants to say.

I used to say 'Gosh' for some reason. Now I say 'wow'

I also use Wow!
Probably started around the time my Grandsons came in to the world and every milestone or achievement deserved a Wow ! 🙂

Wow apparently is an old Scots word
First used in literature way back in 1500's
My Grandpa preferred Help ma' Jings
