“Shouldn’t of” is a way of saying “I’m a basic dickhead who doesn’t care for your woke opinions, up to and including grammar”

It's also regularly confused with a way of saying "I went to a school with 'progressive' (read: stupid) ideas about spelling, where the 'teachers' would say dumb shit like 'how would you spell it at home?'"
