The way we speak

Why do people say 'and plus' when they're away to speak out another sentence? For example. 'I arrived late at work today because I slept in. I tripped over my laces running, and plus, I got some stares from people around me.' (That was just a made up story lol) but, you know, surely we should say 'and' OR 'plus'. Saying 'and plus' is like saying 'and and'. You just need to say one or the other?

And plus - this is a topic me and my father find quite amusing, texting about whatever to each other and typing AND PLUS deliberately.

What do you guys think?!

Usually when I hear people use "plus", they're trying to emphasize a list of things. Like the example you gave of somebody having an unfortunate day. A bit of a soothing technique, I think. And plus, it does help get a point across. ;)
