Punctuation Pet Peeve of the Day

Too many people, seem to think it's proper to insert a comma between the subject and predicate of certain sentences. This practice, makes reading awkward by creating an unnecessary pause. People who do this, don't even seem to do it consistently, which makes things even weirder when trying to figure out if the comma was supposed to emphasize something.

I, don't get it. You, wouldn't do this for a simple noun-verb construction. I, hope you wouldn't, at least. It, would look pretty bizarre. You, see?

Does anyone, know how this got started? I, can't even begin to guess. Maybe people, are just stupid.

On a final note, forcing myself to write that badly was physically painful.
