Do you say THANK YOU??

Goodness no I don't think that you are funny! I think that as a society we have become too assuming and too thankless! Being grateful and showing gratitude are becoming a thing of the past. It seems that we just assume anymore that we deserve things and that there is no need to thank someone for something! I think you are to be commended for your politeness! THANK YOU for a refreshing change from those who just seem to feel entitled!

I say thank you all the time, when someone holds the door for me, when i take my ticket from the toll booth guy, when I pay the toll guy at the other end, when a cashier gives me my change etc. I don't think that you are overthanking any one. You are being polite, I just wish more people had the slightest little courtesy like we do.

i have a habit of thanking practically everyone from the shopkeeper to my maid, to my husband, and my mom and my sister and just everyone.... My mom is tired of this habit of mine and often tries to make me understand that she did me a favour because she is my mother, and i dont have to thank her every single time... we say thank you to those whom we dont expect anything from and they do something for us... but till the date i haven't been able to convince her nor has she been able to convince me... :)

I can't understand why anyone would make fun of you for being polite. I say please and thank you all the time, even if it's for the smallest things, and I teach my kids to behave the same way. I'd much prefer someone to be overly polite than outright rude. Keep on doing what you are doing, I'm sure the people you thank appreciate it greatly.

You should thank people who are doing things for you, it shows you have good manners and well brought up. It does not reflect well on your sisters if they don't do this. I always brought my sons up to be polite and people always have commented to me how polite they where. It doesn't hurt anyone when you have good manners but you can make someones day by thanking them when others have taken them for granted.

i will also do the same like you.. is it funny? nope.. i don't think so.. what's with your sis? she thinks it's funny? isn't that's the proper way to thank someone? even if they do you little things.. they're still considered as help you before.... trust me.. it's okay to thank everyone that helped you before.. it's the correct manner.. better than you choose who to thank!!.. that's very bad.. some sort of discrimination.. how can you choose to thank based on the things they've done for you?

I think it shows you have class and manners. I always say please and thank you and have trained my children to do the same. When they would go out with their father (my ex) they were often embarassed by his lack of manners and would actually say thank you FOR him!

Yes I do say thank you, that shows I have manners.There's nothing wrong giving thanks to every little thing.

no i don't says to every one of them i don't like to say this infect i it is not my habit to say thanks to every one.

I think it's wonderful to say "thank you" to people for the things they do. Sometimes it's wonderful to hear a "thank you" when you are doing these things. I know that it warms my heart if someone (especially a little kid) says thank you when I hold a door open or something for them. I teach my kids to say thank you for anything...this is what this world needs...more people like you saying thank you for the little things.

I don't think you've over thanking everybody at all. It's not funny, it's nice and polite and charming. I am very thankful too. I always thank people for the smallest things they might do for me. I thank people when they give me my change when I buy something (even if they don't thank or even acknowledge me), I thank people if they hold doors open for me or they respond to my queries. I work in HR and I always thank my contacts when they send me CVs for candidates for vacant jobs, even if those candidates are not selected for interview. I always thank people who email their CV in to us for jobs for showing an interest in our company even when they have no relevant skills and have not even read the job description properly. It doesn't hurt me to say thank you but when people don't say thank you sometimes it does hurt me. I am used to it really, in today's society, manners are lacking in many people even though they are such an easy thing to possess and use! You keep on saying thank you, you could be making someone's day when you thank them as no one else might have thanked them that day, week or even month! x

Yes, I tend to say thank you for just about everything that people do for me. I sometimes feel silly, but I would rather feel silly than rude. That is the way that I was brought up. NO, I do not think that you are over-thanking people unless you will sit there and say thank you over and over again to the same person for an almost endless amount of time. Then it is obsessive. What you are describing just sound like siblings that like to give you good natured grief about something that they know is a sensitive issue with you like all siblings tend to do. I for one would keep on doing what you are doing and making people's days with those simple little thank you's that some of them probably don't hear all that often. ;0)

i say thank -you to everyone too. How can having good manners be wrong. You never know that thank-you could be the nicest thing that person has heard all day. I try to smile and say please and thank-you,and hopefully help someone to have a better day.

I give thanks for small things, and the more thankful I become, the more my bounty increases. That's because what you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Good things flow my way when I am grateful no matter what happens in my life. It's not easy being grateful all the time. But it's when you feel least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you.

I appreciate everything that anyone does for me, no matter how "small" it may seem so I always say thank you. Even to my mom and dad, I try to say thank you when they do things for me. For one thing, it's common courtesy and good manners and for another, it doesn't take much effort to say something nice to someone that will make them feel good inside. It's very important to me. You are not overthanking anyone. You are a very nice person.

no it is not overthanking its a way of you being very polite. i always say thankyou for small things and i fell really respectful for doing this

I also thank you to many people who do something for me even if it is their job to so. Most of the people like it. Some times some people who dont feel thankful for anything laugh on others. So, kep up your good work.

It is normal for people to say thank you in a westenr countries,I think it is a good thing as saying thank you is so easy but you will make people think you are polite,especailly if you meet a stranger for the first time, it is important to leabe a good first impression to him/her. I always like to say thank you,mo matter in the bank,restuarants or when I get off from the vus, I will say thank you to the bus drivers, I appreciate their hard work and I would like to say thank you to them.

I often say thank you to those whom have been there for me all through out......how big or small it is, I really appreciate...They don't know how much it means to me.

I always say thank you to those who do things for me no matter how small it might have been. I think its good manners. Some people don't always understand beening polite an saying thank you when someone else has done something for them.
