"I'm like.." / "He was like..."

OK, here's another style that people here use very commonly.

Kara: So, I told him about how I don't like the way he talks to me. And he's like "Well, if you don't like the way I speak, then maybe you shouldn't be in the same room with me". I was like "What?, can't you think straight for once in your life. I mean, how can you say something like that when you are living in somebody's house (notice the switch of the subjects). It's my house for God sake! But I didn't really say that. I just walked away.

He's like/ I'm like/I was like, etc is always used in conversations to express what people really say (always direct speech) or just feel/think.
