Hello everyone! I am the type of person that says thank you to anyone who had given me something, even the littlest things, a favor, a gift, a hug, a kiss, even a smile...etc. and of course i do mean it when i say thank you...
How about you friends, do you always say thank you? Do you always mean it? Do share your views pls.

I would never express thanks to my close friends and associates . This has been my practice since 1972, when I was a postgraduate university student . My professor would say that he will never say thanks to close ones . I am following that prcept right from those days as a mark of respect to my favorite teacher.

I would say that saying thsnks is a formal expression of gratitude. Between close associates this formal way of expressing out feelings is unnecessary (perhaps)

i never forget to say thank you whatever things i have recieve.. when somebody offer a help, when i ride on a cab etc. etc... saying thank you is the nicest word we can give to a person who do good things to us... it can never payed by money... it is also a simple word of appreciation..
i even say thank you to my husband everyday for everything...

My mother was very stricked about manners when I was little. No smacking, no elbows on the table. My two sisters and I were very well mannered children. When, I go to someones home, I will not even sit down until invited to do so.
If I need to use the restroom, I ask permission first. No matter how many times I have been before. Lack of manners causes people to assume.

You are definitely right about that, you are lucky to have parents like them... We too were raised to have good manners specially to other people and i always hear my parents to say thank you and please and always reminded us to be polite. Well, i'm glad they did!lol thank you rosie for sharing this and i do mean it.c",)

I, for one, say thank you and please, as much as possible. Usually, I mean it, but even if I'm upset (say, after getting nowhere with customer service) I still TRY (big emphasis on TRY) to remember to say thank you.
Ultimately, I think simple manners are rare in this world.

Most definitely mean it when I say it or else I wouldn't bother saying it. I always say thank you for when someone opens the door for me, or does something nice.

Hi mycharm88! I always say "thank you" whenever someone says or did something nice to me. I really show my appreciation in words and sometimes, I give a little some thing back if I have some extra money. I just feel somehow special and I want them to know that what they did made me so happy inside. Take care and have a nice day.

Sometimes I am so surprised, taken aback, or stunned that I forget to and call or write later. Sometimes I'm so tired that I remember that I forgot to say it later. But I really do appreciate everything anyone does for me and I really do mean it.

When i say thank you, i mean it and i'm sincere with it cause i appreciate every little things that God has been giving me, i do appreciate all the people that makes my life brighter and all the people who have helped me along the way. I always say thank you to them and when someone do me a simple favor, i say thank you also. :)

I always thank people for their kind gestures, either to myself, or just when I see them do something kind for another.
I always feel so happy when somebody appreciates something positive that I have done, so I feel that it's important that I thank them also.

Well, I say thank you because I have taught to say that. There are many many times when I say thank you without really meaning it. I think it happens most of the time. But sometimes I hesitate to say thank you because won't be meaning it. But such occassion is not that many.

I do too, I make sure I say thanks to anyone who has given me even the smallest favor, I know how much it meant to them. I also say this too often to my hubby and to my loved ones so they would know how I appreciate those things they do or give to me. :)

I look them in the eye and say in a deep tone THANK YOU! Well I say it in a high cheerful manner too. I try to do them a favor or treat them the same way they treat me. There is a thank you more than words and that for me is friendship. I hope to find you smiling as always. 8-)
