thank you and please... do you still say these?

i still do. i feel so rude when i don't. maybe it's not really rude but you should at least show appreciation when someone did something for you. that's what i want so that's what i do. it's like doing the things you want to be done for you to others so that others may do it to you as well.

I would say that saying thank you and please are a sign that you respect the other person to whom you are saying it. It doesn't take a moment to say in a conversation where appropriate and it does promote a feeling of well-being and contentment between two people. _Derek

of course and i expect everyone around me to be polite like this too. i think it is a lost art and hope that people will once again start this.

hi friend. all the time. sometimes, the problem is i say it too much subconsciously. it is always best to show courtesy. it's one of the many great rules to live by.

my wife always say these words and the funny thing is she also say this to me. she says please and thank you. i am not a person who says that har har har i am rude thats what my wife say. now that we are married for 7 years i adopt this trait already. i am glad that i adopt it for our four year old son will adopt it for sure. even the word sorry... we can add that up with your thank you and please.

Of course I still say thank you and please. I was brought up to always say these things. It would be disrespectful not to. Children in today's society are not as respectful of these traditions. Thank you and please are just words in the dictionary to the young generation.

of course i do... these words are still very important to me and i used them very often... it is just basic manners and courtesy i think... take care and have a nice day...

Good manners were instilled in me when I was a child. It's quite normal, it seems, these days, for many people not to say please or thank you. I often wonder why these little words can be just left off the end of a sentence. Do people feel more important than those they are speaking to? Another thing I notice on American TV is when someone is speaking on the phone and the conversation ends...they just hang up. They don't say "Bye" they just put the phone down. Is that rude? or is it perhaps just considered "normal"??

I still say these words as a matter of respect to someone otherwise i feel it is rude to ask for something and not say thank you or please can i have such and such. i also have seen that not many people use these words these days and i have started trying to get people i know to start using them again.

Hi kenchiprincess, thank you / thanks and please are words which reflect your personality. With these words we can do things easily, it shows your respect on others. Obviously we should teach our children these words. Without respect our children will not grow happily in the society.

HELLO there kenchiprincess! yes, i am using thank you and please still. I think all of us should still practice to use this words for they imply good manners and right conduct to the person who says this words. I would love to hear others saying please because it requests me to do something instead of not using it so what he says will be in a form of commanding me. Saying Thank you, however, gave me a feeling of being glad to the person who said it to me so i used this word as often as i could whenever needed to at least give back the favor this person rendered to me. Good luck!

i really see to it that i have to say these ytime it is needed,my friend. you know,it's really important to say these words,my friend! it's a way of appreciating others' efforts and a way of giving respect and being respectful in the same way. it can be used in polite affirmative replies to offers; like May i help you,please? it's nice to know someone who is utterring this words,right? not just by being rude if not doing so...

ya i still said thanks or thank you to cashier,waitress and such. Out of 10 time properly i said 6-8 times,but i usally don look at them at eye levels while saying that , because culture (asian) we don usually look at people eye directly , it little scary and confrontations like your are imposing your gratefullness upon them.haha.Beside saying please,thanks,thank your, we also said sorry for your inconvience,pardon me and such. Sometime and often words of thanks your is responded with your're welcome and such.Usually by a nod or a stare.Haha.But those upclass restraurants have imported western culture , they are more welcome and said thank you to customers more often,while the normal streel level stalls are different.

hi kenchiprincess! regarding your question my answer is yes i do. i still think those are magic words for everyone of us.We should be thanked and appreciated every single thing that happen to us.i always teach my little niece and nephew to be grateful and say thank you when they need to do so.that is what my parents taught me and the others.i do agree when you said it's hard to hear people say those words nowadays.maybe it is because they just don't practice it but people might think that you are being rude if you are not doing so.:)

Everyday, I say thank you to a lot of people especially my customers in our little store and I feel great when they say 'thank you' also and 'you are welcome'. Heart warming. I learned this when I was small and my parents taught me these words together with 'good morning' and good' evening'.

yes i say thank you and please and i notice people who don't say it. i've decided not to complain over small things though. i'll just accept it.

hi there. my father always reminds me that there should never be a room for impoliteness. no matter what you mood is, you have no right to be impolite to people. he taught me the magic words, "please" and "thank you". whenever my sister forgets this, i would remind her. and she gets pissed off at me. hehe.

Nice post.. Hm, of course. In our family, everyone was taught to always say these words... It's like an act of respect and love... :D

I can't neglect to say these two words and still very important to me, I don't feel happy when I can't utter these words after request has been fulfilled and even requesting for something or done something for me. Happy myLotting!
