No, i dislike the person saying it
And full stop is the equivalent name for the dot at the end of a sentence, right? So it's the same metaphor.

"I could care less" isn't a phrase, it's "I couldn't care less."
I don't understand how people get this wrong so often. "I could care less" implies that you care more than you admit you probably should.
It's like "irregardless", "to all intensive purposes" and stuff like that, you wonder how they don't say it in their head and go, "hang on, this phrase makes no sense."

I don't hear people use it very often, but when I do I'm not bothered by it.

...it all depends on how its used. If its somebody just joking around saying how much they like something, then its fine. Even in arguments, sometimes its ok if you're absolutely confident that you've put the nail in the coffin of somebody else's argument with some undeniable facts or something. But a lot of times, yea, people use it completely prematurely or ignorantly, thinking that their opinion is better or more right than everybody else's without having good justification for thinking so.

Exactly. It's like, "dude, when you say it, don't you realise it makes no sense?" No wonder he hates it so much!

I created a flow chart at work detailing when the other people in the office are most likely to start using the word 'period'.
