Did you ever notice how many people don't finish their sentences these days? I've been noticing it over the past year or so, listening to podcasts and on-line videos. Specifically, a few I've noticed are Nick DiPaolo, Owen Benjamin, Joe Rogan, and there are many others whose names don't pop into mind.
This is a new thing. I've only noticed this for a year. It's really annoying, and it's also lazy. People who do this expect you to finish their sentences for them. When I was a kid in school, I was taught that "unfinished sentense indicate unfinished thoughts." People don't seem to be thinking as well as they once did.

I've noticed it ever since the "Jake from State Farm" commercial was first on TV. He ended his sentence with "so", leaving it trailing off and I've noticed people doing this ever since then. It affects all ages, races, socio-economic classes, whatever. It doesn't even matter what the topic is, I'll just here a person end a sentence like in that fucking commercial.
"Hey, this needs to be cleaned up, so..."
"Well it doesn't work that way, so..." (sometimes can end with "so... yeah...")
"Your sister's coming over, so..."
It's fucking irritating. It's almost as bad as when people say "just Google it".
EDIT: I've been thinking of just responding with "So what?"
