Why does everyone now start their sentences with the word so?

Is it off a tv programme or something? Seems to have happened overnight.

I think I picked the habit up while living in Den Haag at the end of the last century.
I suspect it comes from me having a short conversation in my head in between seeing/hearing something that I want to respond to, and actually responding.
And to prove it I shall end this post with so.

Quite annoying and only picked up on this as I began my new job in another team.

They don't. Most annoying habit I've come across is starting every other sentence with 'basically' and every other word with 'like'.
Basically, it's bloody like, annoying, like.

I've noticed this over the last 18 months or so. A bit irritating. Must be an affectation as people may age do it but it's not something I naturally do.
It's no worse than "basically" I suppose...

I don't know where you live but that was about five years ago where I live. 'So' seems to be the new 'like'

This is an affectation I have noticed over the last year or more as well .... it's more common on TV among those asked to explain a project or event, which makes me think it's something that is part of a basic course on speaking in public that's gone viral. Another that used to annoy me (obviously part of a public speaking course for budding politicians and doorstep canvassers) was 'Look ...' at the start of a sentence. It was so patronising. Budding Blairites used it so often it was annoying. Some of these things can develop into a bit of a tick for some people ... like "you know" has been for many years or 'basically'.

"No Worries", is another newbie.
Never gave it much thought until, in about 1997, an Aussie I was working with in Den Haag kept using it.
Well before my 3 month contract had ended, every cunt and his brother was using it.

'So...today I am cooking my take on a deconstructed veal and ham pie with heritage carrots, sea-vegetables, a foam of west-country oysters, edible flowers, a gravel of dehydrated winter berries served under a glass cloche filled with liquid-hydrogen.
So...the liquid-hydrogen represents misty morning walks with my nan who...who is...sorry...no longer with us'.
'WOW. That's the kind of cooking I want to see. Cooking from the soul. It's childhood memories of your grandmother from your soul to a plate. Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Let's hope it tastes as wonderful as it sounds. You'll be a bit pushed for time though kiddo, won't you. All that in an hour and a quarter? WOW. I'll let you get on'.
'Cunt'.
'Pardon?'
'I said, "thanks Greg".

Couple of years ago a question was answered with "yes , no , then a pause then the answer .
20 years ago in Australia the last word in any sentence was "but"
You want to go for a drink but?

Talking of Australians with the end of a sentence rising in pitch to make everything sound like a question, the most irritating accent for me is the English middle-class twenty-something girl talking like that on her mobile phone. Hundreds around where I live.
'So...about three nights ago Pip Facebooked me? You know Pip? Yah? Yah? So...basically she's split with her partner? Gerald? You met him at Jem's party? Yah? Yah? That sounds like the guy? No, I was down at my parent's house in Surrey?'

Joe 11.57 - I've noticed this one especially players interviewed after a game they will often start their answer with "yeah no"
Anyone noticed every other word from Jermain Defoe is "definitely"
