"I could care less" means exactly what I mean it to mean. I could care less. A little bit. But I don't. I figure it's always implicit in my tone. I had no idea it pissed people off. Hmm.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Today may redeem yesterday.
Good luck with that!
Yeah, there are many things that don't make any sense that I kind of love. Like America's Next Top Model still.
Heh.

Could someone please buy this for me? And make it so it goes off when my cellphone rings?
Okay now for the big adventure of working out what I'm going to wear today. God, I feel like silly putty.

I had no idea it pissed people off.
Oh it doesn't actually piss me off. It is mildly annoying. I'm inured to the wrongness of it because it is used so commonly now that it has come to mean the same thing as the correct term which is "I could not care less."

I would think it would be implicit, but I've always heard it said by people who I'm sure actually meant "I couldn't care less."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. I was just admiring that a day or two ago.
And make it so it goes off when my cellphone rings?
How about a Dalek who says, "Exterminate!" when your phone rings?

Good luck with dressing, ita. I hear that pain. I have so few options and today I'm wearing pants that I like but I'm pretty sure they are too tight. Fortunately I rarely see people throughout the day. And my shirt should cover the worst of the too tightness. I hope.

Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutter
When Scotty buys everyone in Engineering pizza for a late night work session, do they cut it with a phaser? Of course not! “The right tool for the right job!” quips Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott. Instead, he uses a shiny pizza cutter shaped like the Enterprise herself!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
My sweet Taz cat is at the vet getting his teeth cleaned. He has to go under anesthesia for that, poor fella. Hopefully this will be good for the long term so we don't have to worry about tooth extractions in the future, as long as we can work out a way to do brushings at home.
I just hate leaving him at the vet for the day. And he's such a good boy!
