Does anyone find it annoying to have a conversation with someone who uses the word “like” in every sentence?

Then there’s the derivation “all”. “All” carries a bit stronger feeling though.
[eg.]
So I tell her we have to leave and she’s like …
So I tell her we have to leave and she’s all …

[eg.]
So I tell her we have to leave and she’s like all …
