That one does not bother me so much as someone trying to tell me it is the very last time they will do something and we better jump right in to buy, one or even more. When they make the sale URGENT I am turned off.

I have the same reaction. It seems akmost rude to me. I feel like i'm being ordered to wait and my first thought is usually, "why should I".

ITA! It's so overworked, like many other phrases, that it means nothing. English is a beautiful, comprehensive language, with many ways to say things, instead of resorting to cliches.

It is just a little phrase that is the trend right now!! It will wear off in time but there will always be new ones!!

I have a short attention span and tend to bail on videos or jokes that are a little long. I'm rarely disappointed in the outcome if I "wait for it"!

I think it's one of those sayings that was kind of cute at first but after a while, I would agree that it has lost its cuteness.

That's just the way it goes, I suppose. A saying or phrase, or word, becomes really big in pop culture for a while then the next one comes out - and on and on and on.
