I hate conference calls so much now. Every freaking woman on these calls talk with uptick and vocal fry. So off-putting. I don't even respond to them if they ask me something.
What gets under my skin the most is when they're listing off stuff and they unnecessarily use the uptick. It's hard to describe through the medium of an internet talk forum but I'll try.
My wife does it every time she's listing things off.

beginning statements with "So..."
This is the one that makes me irrationally angry. Especially if the offender is older than a teenager.

It's better than vocal fry, for sure.
Vocal fry
Uptick
Starting sentences with "So,..."
The trifecta of annoying speech. People seem to think it makes them sound smarter. I find it impossible to take them seriously.
