Franchise Only Dialogue You Use In Real Life...

I've had that exact thought, too.
"Fascinating", "Indeed", "Resistance is futile".
From other franchises, "These are not the ..... you are looking for", "Game over, man ! Game over !" , "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.", "Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so." and as I have a friend called Dave, "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

Sounds like you'd enjoy Alan Dean Foster's short story, "Why Johnny Can't Speed." It's in his first anthology, With Friends Like These.
I don't do any turbolift schtick, but (pre-pandemic), I had a habit of blowing on automatic doors (Riley, from "The Naked Time," TOS season 1).
- I often find myself using this phrase, too (mainly to my lackadaisical sister). I'm also quite partial to muttering Scotty's "Up your shaft" (from STIII) to someone who's said/done something I don't approve of (once they're out of earshot, of course), and Spock's "That much is certain" (STIV) when in agreement.
That was going to be my next one added here. I had one of those moments with a self checkout yesterday.
Being behind someone clogging regular traffic flow driving UNDER the SP, I'll safely pass them thinking; I... Have had... Enough of you!

I'm not sure if I quote anything from Trek, but I do a mean Picard facepalm
I have a few quotes from other franchises, however...
"You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means" - Inigo Montoya
"I'll be Back" - Shwartzenator
"Its a trap!" - a certain fishy commander
"This too good for you!" - a goat guy in the original Diablo game
"Mr.Stark, I don't feel so good..." - Spiderman
That last one usually right after I ate too much. I use 'fascinating' a lot, but I've been using it for so long, I'm not sure if I got it from Spock, or he got it from me. LOL

Am I the only one who quotes "Make it so!"???

I've used that in the bedroom. My ex hated Star Trek (it wasn't allowed to be on while she was home), so I'd purposely try to sneak ST things into our life without her knowing. LOLAm I the only one who quotes "Make it so!"???
UPDATE: I actually use that^ one more than just when driving.
New, Thanksgiving cannot occur without me saying... There is a turkey in the oven! Real Turkey!
Definitely not Swedish.
I've used Garak's line "It's best not to dwell on Minutiae" from In the Pale Moonlight a few times.
On that note I’ve gone through Garak’s whole “especially the lies” routine on more than one occasion.
Garak was probably the most quotable character in the entire franchise.
When someone tells me that we'll have to do something unpleasant, all I can think of to say is:
"Sounds like fun."
"Sounds like fun."
In an automobile accident once, my last words were "this is fun" and "red alert, brace for impact!" (followed by "brown alert"*...)
Of course, those words were also never used on any personals ad...
* note that that phrase, along with "this is fun" were not dropped, metaphorically or otherwise.
