So...
When a person thinks ending a sentence with 'so' will suffice:

"Yeah, they died, but they weren't wearing a seatbelt, so...."

"I'll put the order on when I get it. It hasn't come through yet, so.."

"The shampoo I used on him made all his fur fall out. He looks really cute though, so..."

"I know I poked him in the eye, but he hid my pound coin in his foreskin, so..."

"She was wearing a short skirt the night she was attacked, so..."

It makes me angry.

"I know I poked him in the eye, but he hid my pound coin in his foreskin, so..."
made me LOL proper like.

Although each of your examples is a complete sentence and the 'so' on the end seems like an extra word. These people should know when the sentence is over and then shut up.
