The usage of "right?" by today's presenter/executive

I have a new pet peeve which is becoming more and more apparent every single day I sit on business calls or attend meetings, whether internal or external. This may be something completely going on in my mind, an isolate event at my company, or something that everyone can relate with, but either way it is something I had to vent about.

Here's the situaish:

You're at a big company meeting or an internal strategy session or even on a client call where someone is presenting some results. The person speaking is a C-level exec/VP/Director or a Principal Analyst and as they are talking through their material, they end the majority of their statements with, or really even just throw in the word, "...right?" I'm actually not even sure if a "?" is the correct punctuation to put at the end of "right" because sometimes it's a simple statement.

For example, "Hello All. I am here to discuss how we are going to change our strategy of sales. Today, we are selling apples and oranges, right? Well tomorrrow, right, we'll be needing to sell grapes and bananas as well, right? Bananas are delicious. Monkeys, right, are always going to be eating bananas and if they are our key clients, right, then we need to provide them with the fruit they enjoy, right? It seems obvious, right?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

Presenters today are just throwing in this added word ... "right?" or "right" .... as a fluid part or ending to the sentence/question that they are speaking, and most of the time a question is not even needed!! They are not asking you to confirm what they are saying. It's more like they are confirming it for themselves and forcing you to agree with them, right? (see what I did there?) There's no pause for question, because they are jumping into their next point ... or even mid point! And sure enough, ending that point with the word today seems to be nothing but ... "right?".

It's not "do you agree with me?" or "make sense?" ... it's "right?". It is happening more and more every day and my question is, is this a new thing? Am I crazy? Did someone start this "right" trend and now everyone is  on board? Is there a presenter's handbook/manual that I'm not keeping up to date on? To bring out another pet peeve of mine which usually finds itself in emails, but ... "what am i missing?"

I'm starting to notice it more and more and there really is nothing anyone can do about it, except continue to be annoyed by it and listen to it, because usually the "right person" is way above me and who am I to question authority?

Nevertheless, I'm not a fan of publically speaking figures ending their points with "right" or throwing in "rights" left and right these days. And that's that.

Right?!.?.!
