"When someone immediately follows a statement with "right?”. The worst offenders do this after just about everything they say. They aren't asking a question. They aren’t seeking feedback from the listener. They are implying that what they just said is correct and that the listener is already in agreement with them—without giving the listener a chance to respond. It is the most disingenuous of all verbal crutches and reveals both the arrogance and insecurity of the speaker."
