Good morning! It's annoying that this even bothers me.

The expression "I couldn't care less" is often stated as "I could care less" If you COULD care less, the only thing you're telling me is that you care, at least a little bit, because there's still room for you to care less. It's only possible to care less because you do care.

Obviously that's not what they mean but that's what those words mean when put in that order.

🤷

Hopefully next time you hear it, it will bother you as much as it bothers me. Have a great day
