Is it rude for someone not to say "thank you"?
If he did say thanks to you more than once for giving him those magazines while he was sick, he probably thinks that's enough with you. Honestly, I would be fine with that since he acknowledged your help to him. I won't sweat it since he knows I showed him I cared. Are you expecting him to do those things because he's your crush and a simple thank you wouldn't have sufficed? If so, then honey, wait it out. If he likes you, he'll come around to it. Either he's just shy, or a jerk for not noticing what a sweetheart you are.
Have you ever told someone "thank you for loving me!"?
Yes, I tell my husband from time to time. I feel very lucky to be loved by someone as wonderful as he is and I think he should know! Also, when my youngest son was a baby, I used to quietly sing him the chorus of the Bon Jovi song called "Thank You For Loving Me" when I rocked him to sleep. It has such sweet lyrics.
Have you ever randomly told someone you love thank you just because you appreciate them?
Hey you.This is my opinion and answer to your question.I try my best to always say thank you whenever one does something for me right on the spot.For an instance, if someone paid for the groceries; I would say thank you for getting this. Or if someone goes out of their way to get me a bunch of croissants (I'm a sucker for those); I'll thank them. Heck, once I cried; because a person went out of their way to find or get me the tea I wanted. (Although I cried in private).Life is so so short and fragile; and I appreciate and thank people for the smallest things they do for me; and try my best not to sweat the really small stuffs.Someone old and wise once told me to never sweat the small stuffs because you'll then realise it's so small, it shouldn't even matter. And as I aged, I understood this statement further. There are so many more bigger things that are so big that you can't even fix it or control it.At the end of the day; you should say the important things to whoever who are important to you; whilst you still can.
I helped someone out and they didn't even say thanks, why is that?
If they are as selfish and ignorant as the one I helped and now disconnected all forms of communication, then it is because they are too self absorbed and too damn stupid to realise that help is being given.They only think of themselves, no emotions,not knowing what being a good person is all about, just out for sympathy with a good tale, take you for all you have in help and money and do not give a fig if you are dead or alive, broke or anything as they have No Feelings for other people at all.They are dead inside and live a very lonely and miserable life and even too scared to go out in case they meet some who helped them and they blanked them or forced them away.They wallow in their self pity and wonder why they have no real, true friends, all because they use up all you have to give.They certainly do not know what appreciation means and will never stand up and admit they owe you. Too cowardly, too thick, and really poisonous people.That is My Experience from one really nasty and a good acting “Thing”, as they cannot be human in my opinion.(Wouldn’t you say ML?)
Do you Say "Thank You" if someone holds a door open for you? What do you do if someone doesn't it to you?
The rule of etiquette is whoever reaches the door first holds it for the other person. And, of course, they should say thank you. However, you are not allowed to be rude in response to their failure to do so.
Do you ever say thank you to Siri?
I don’t know why but I’m compelled to do so.I guess I feel somewhat guilty telling her what to do. He or she, it wouldn’t matter, so it’s not a matter of gender. But instructing something that’s given personification by means of a human voice just makes me I don’t know.I mean I guess I do know. I think I just have respect for other people or something that my brain perceived to be a person. (Similar to a voice from a person on speaker phone, my mind has associated any voice coming from the device as being a human).Can you imagine me always telling Rosie from Jetsons thank you all damn day! I might end up just doing the work my damn self.But then again, if the price to sit on my ass all day cost just a mere 2 seconds of my time (uttering thank you) then I guess…#thankyouSiri
How do you feel when someone doesn’t say thank you when you open a door for them?
Here in Tennessee we hold or open doors for women. We (males) are actually taught to do that at a very young age. We start holding doors for little folks, old folks, injured folks, and females when they get to be about 14 or 15 years old. Race or outward economic appearance don't matter, everyone is treated the same. Grown men even hold doors for other grown men.We almost always receive a thank you, nod of the head, or a smile. Or we did. In the last five years that has really changed a great deal. Now I'm often ignored or looked at like I'm some type of deviant preparing to attack.I'm 60 and I'm not going to change a 55 year old habit. I also still call women I don't know sweetie, darling, honey, and sweetheart. (I did stop calling any women Sugar Britches, probably about 25 to 35 years ago. Not trying to become PC, it just isn't very nice no matter how it is intended.)Now the damndest thing started happening a few years back, and at first I didn't really notice. Young males and females were holding the door for me. It took a while for me to realize that I'm now viewed as old and infirm! So goes the circle of life.But I digress, I'm not going to let other people's behavior dictate my actions or attempts at good southern manners. I’m going to continue to hold doors for young mothers with packages and a baby carriage, as well as old men like myself.
Have you ever rejected someone? What did you say to them? Did you thank them for liking you, and then reject them, or did you just say “No, I don’t have feelings for you”?
It wasn't a ‘proposal’ which I rejected, but I did reject a girl who initiated flirting. I was in the middle of the two years of rigorous JEE preparation. With almost zero social interaction, I really wasn't prepared for a situation like this. Besides, I’m basically quite shy.I was in the computer lab (it used to stay open for studies when not in use) studying chemistry (God I hated that subject), and making peace with the fact that I was now in std XII (which means our batch is the next to go through hell), when this enthusiastic bunch of XI std medical girls came in with their lunch boxes ( I was ranked 11th in my institute in the last major test and was also the centre topper, basically that's what got her interested). She took the seat to my right. I wonder how did she know, but she turned towards me and softly called out "topper". I heard that, but chose to ignore (I don't like being praised for marks, that makes me feel kind of alienated).After being called the same thing a couple of times more, I gave her a look (that's the first time I saw her face, she was pretty no doubt), and looked back into my book before she could respond. So this time she waved her hand in front of my book. With no other choice left, I looked at her questioningly (juniors often ask doubts in studies, which I was hoping was the case).She said a cute "hi" waving her hand with a smile. When the look on my face did not change, she asked me if I really was the topper. I said a reluctant (that's because I hate to praise myself) "yes" and shyly looked back into my book, mentally all set to leave.This was followed by some personal questions, which I ignored (pretended to ignore, because by now I was terribly distracted and anxious to leave, I don't even remember the questions now). Finally i packed up my bag, because I was nearly done studying for the day. When I was about to reach the door, she blocked my way and asked me if I would complain about this ‘incident’, to which I said a "No".After the incident, she would wave at me on seeing and at times try to strike a conversation, only this time knowing that I would react indifferently.I think I was quite rude, but I was equally nervous and afraid of being ‘distracted’ from my goal of cracking the JEE. This was one situation which no coaching class can teach you to deal with.
When I say Thank You to someone why do people say "Uh huh" or "Uh ha" instead of "Your Welcome"
Primarily it’s because there is a segment of the population that were taught how to be polite and that being polite is the sign of a respect and social etiquette. If you are an avid watcher of television you can easily see that this type of behavior is not exemplified at all. In fact if you ever watch any of these reality based television shows you will see that these people are barely able to walk upright without dragging their knuckles on the ground. Unfortunately we’re living in a culture where courtesies such as politeness and respect aren’t as highly revered as they once were. Politeness isn’t important unless you’re giving somebody money for doing something and even then that is rarely the case. Respect is also rapidly fading from the general public because people barely have respect of themselves. I guess the only advice that I can give to you if you’re interested, is to do what I do and just keep on being polite and respectful. Because getting angry at them will only wear away at who you are, and before long you’ll be no better than they are. I hope this was helpful and your welcome.
Is it ever too late to say thank you?
No. I’ve had students come back after twenty years and tell me what a difference I made in their lives, and it’s just as heartwarming as it would have been right after their graduation. So if you want to thank someone (or apologize to someone), do it.
