The one that kills me is “ I appreciate you”. To me, it sounds fake. I’d prefer you nod acknowledgement, and go on your way.

Getting grumpy in my old age I guess

I think that's a modern management "feel good" term.
I agree it sounds fake and hollow. I think something more specific and deserved would be better received.... Like "I appreciate how you handled that problem".

I'm not sure that's new, though. I remember the same phenomenon when I was in school, in the 1980's!

The one that's new is "feel" or "feel like". We didn't "feel like" someone was an a-hole in the 80's, we knew they were.
