What's up with people who raise the tone of their voice at the end of each sentence when either asking a question or trying to make you understand something?

It's a disease that is really starting to irritate me. My missus has picked it up at her new place of work and I feel like I am trapped in an episode of neighbours when I am sat with her at home. (Minus the Flic Scully in a bikini in my back yard pool, both of which would be nice....). She asks me what I want for dinner and her voice finishes two octaves higher by the end of the sentence. Or recalling her day at work results in her going through seven different tones to ensure I am understand what is being said.

It's creeping in everywhere I go now, at work people do it. In restaurants, waitresses do it. But it's just plain wrong. It doesn't need to happen, I can still understand what is being said without the little inflection. Wherever it has come from, I wish it would just go back there. (Like I say, I suspect Neighbours....)

I want it stopped, now. :D
