Do you always say "Thank You!"?

In real life if someone does something to help me or for me I always say "thank you" No exception. I say Thank you in discussions too but i always add more than just a thank you. I tell them how much their advice have helped me or tell them thanks because I know they didnt have to answer my discussions but they did. So Yes, Thank you is a part of my life. My sons have learned that from me. My youngest son always says "thank you for anything i do to help. If i cook dinner he says "thank you for dinner" I started them with that at an early age. Thank you for the discussion.

Hi Neil, Yes, my parents always taught to say thank you when someone do something nice for us or give us things, so it is a habit for us to say thank you and its good manners too, but if mylot twlls us not to that, well I don't think its good manners, especially now days when good manners had gone out the windows. Thank you Neil and hugs. Tamara

I do. I make it a point that I always say "Thank You" especially if someone does something good to you or to others that are related in a specific incident that you're currently into. Its always good to show gratitude. For me, saying "Thank You" occasionally makes you feel good. Somehow uplifting per say.

yes, i do......i am almost used to it............even at our house, our parents keep telling us to do the same. but i never knew about this mylot guideline which says don't thank everyone who responds.........i think i have done that many many times.. and one more thing....i do say thanks to someone who helps me or does anything for me, but do not expect the same.....we might help some one out....but shouldn't expect anything in return........well, that's what i feel. have a nice day...

I always thank people who've helped me.It makes them feel better and they don't hesitate helping you out again...Also what you've mentioned is correct..We should appreciate people when they help us.But you shouldn't expect "thank you" because a person might casually forget these words but it could make you feel completely different when you're expecting it.

I always tell people thank you, or thanks for everything they do for me or give me, even for their time of the day. Everything is special to me, and when someone goes out of their way to show me kindness and care, I respect them enough to tell them thank you. My kids say it as well. I even still tell my husband after 10 years of marriage thank you for taking me out to dinner, it's how I was raised. But there are some out there that don't say thanks for anything, and it drives me nuts.

Hi, friend. Foremost, I have to admit that I don't know that particular DON'T statement in mylot that you've mentioned. I guess I was too preoccupied with trying to respond to as many discussions as I can. And yes, I am guilty of this offense. In fact, I have just started a discussions a while ago and I have already said thanks in advance. But now that you've mentioned it, I'll try to limit this habit of mine from now on. Personally, I'd like to thank everyone who have helped me along the way, may it be trivial things. And I've learned somewhere that when a person acknowledges or extends gratitude to anyone and to the Lord, He will bless the person even more, which is one of my beliefs. And I know everybody wants to be blessed. I recall a nice story regarding the book of 'Salamat' or thank you, in the English language. I guess you're quite familiar with it since it has been taught to us when we were still in our elementary years. I'm so fascinated and inspired by it that I tend to tell it everytime I get the opportunity. If I'm not mistaken, I have narrated it here in other threads already.

As a kid, my parents taught me to always say 'thank you' when someone did nice for me, like hold the door opened, or helped me with something, like my homework. So, it's something that is inked in my system, so to speak. I do say thank you to everyone. It's a force of habit. Nowadays, I just say thank you, without thinking about it. It has just gotten to that point.

Yes, I do say thank you to people who deserve it. Even inside my home, I'd say thank you to my husband and to my son whenever they did something worth being thanked. Those two words should not be forgotten because they could delight and encourage the person who helped and gave you something to thank for.

well saying Thank you is good as its a respect you are going to give some one who has helped you but well the word Thank you can be said in advance when you are expecting some work from others that he will do it and well it could be used as a casual word also when after a long time you are meeting some of your friend

yes i do always say thank you, its a way of giving appreciation to somebody. its also a way of respecting and showing that your nice and very appreciative. it is a very good values to say thank you always. happy mylotting!!!

I don't say thank you to my very close ones. It sounds too artificial. With strangers and not-so-close acquaintances, I do say thank you. In my country, saying thank you to "service providers" (like taxi drivers, postmen, watchmen, gate keepers, servers, salesmen in shops etc) is not very common. But I normally say "thank you" to them and mostly I get an embarrassed look in return!

I always say "thank you" or "thanks" to people who help me or give me supports.I think it is a kind of respection for others.

I say thank you in my everyday life but not always here on MyLot. I also saw in the don'ts that you are not supposed to respond with one liners, like yes, no, thank you, etc. I was afraid it would decrease my status and possibly get me kicked off if I always did this to every responder. I am happy and grateful when someone responds, so here is an official Thank you to all who have responded to me.

Hi neil..for me I just like to say 'thank-you' it is polite and especially if someone says something nice to you in a response..infact I see no harm in saying 'thank-you', it is a bit silly if it actually affects our earnings if we do say it...littleowl

Yes, outside of myLot, I always will say thank you many times. This is a habit that I have when someone has done something nice for me. If they took the time out of their schedule, I will be thankful and then thank them. I enjoy doing so, it makes me feel good.

I've always believed in saying thank you to anyone who does something for me, no matter how small. I've raised my kids this way, too. It doesn't hurt anyone to say those two words, 'Thank you' and it often makes the recipient happy to receive those words. Acknowledging something that someone did for you by thanking them is free, easy and one of the nicest things we could do. I agree wholeheartedly with you, neil. I 'wave' my thanks to people who slow down so I can change lanes and let me in front of them while driving. So many people don't and I think that's a real shame. Too many people are too wrapped up in their own little worlds to acknowledge, or even SEE, the kindness of others. But, I'm not one of them! THANK YOU, neil, for another interesting discussion.

I say thankyou out of habit as well as a conscious effort. I usually do it because I appreciate that someone has interacted with me in a positive way. It is sort of like saying hello, it does not have to be said but is appreciated.

hello.keeping the manner of saying "thank you" everywhere and everytime would gain more respect from others i think. i even carry this manner to say thank you to my partner always,sometimes this made her unhappy and she think i respect her too much as someone outside the family, so she asked me do not say thank you to her so frequently...aha..

Hi neildc..and yes I do..I think manners are most important..and I know it says not to say thankyou on here but its habit and i do appreciate people responding to my discussions so I thank them, then continue on what I was going to say
