Thanks
I was taught to do this ever since I was at the kindergarden and can't believe that it have so much effect on me. So everytimes someone gave something and even pick up something for me I'll just simply say "Thank you", alittle smile would makesome credits. Since I've got a number of guests at home I would often do it everytime but I really do agree that we should atleast say thank you to people.
Thank you is a verry important word its like giving something in return your apreciation for the help you got ofcourse there are those ho just use it to get out of the situation and the next day they forget you evere helped them
Well, thank you... it's a common word. every time, every day, every hours, every minutes, have millions of people say " thank you " to everyone. everybody have been thinking that thank you is the easy word and they can say it in anytime what ever they want. but it's not normal like that. i think we can not say that word so easily like that. sometimes, everyone say because they want to keep their relationship with someone and of course they don't want to treap on their's toes. it's not that good. if we truly want to say thank you to other people, you just can say thank you but if you don't you don't need to say that word. well, maybe u'll be impolite person if you won't say thank you.>_<

I always make it a point to thank someone who helps me in any way, however slightly, because it will make them feel appreciated
I would like people to treat me in the same way too >.<

I think I have a problem with this. I find it so awkward to show my grattude for someone. It just is for me, and I wish it wasn't, because I appreciate everything people do for me. For strangers and not close friends, it's easier, but th closer they are, the more difficult it is.

Story Time!
At school, I hold the door for everybody and wait for whoever is still walking down the stairs. I smile at the women behind the desks in the Principal's office and I talk to the lunch ladies (they think I'm being underfed and like to give me extra for less). When I hit people, I say excuse me and apologies profusely, and when I'm at the counter of a store, I do the same.
I do all of these things to see what people will do. Because manners are so hard to come by nowadays, they either reply with a suspicious smile or are equally polite - albeit surprised. The people walking down the stairs actually speed up and stutter out "thank you"'s and "you didn't have to"'s (as if they haven't said either for a while).
But it's nice - even the most bad-ass gangster has something nice to say.

Ugh, probably one of my worst habits, I say sorry and thanks way to much. It sounds almost fake.

I agree with most of these posts about the word "thanks" and how it cause a great effect to someone even though it as simple as 6 letters. Its awkward how the simplest things make the biggest impacts. From past experiences, i have learned that many people do take the things they own such as friendship, love, family, and even personal belongings for granted. People even take the word "thanks" and "love" for granted. In my opinion, these words should only be said when one is truly feeling the emotion deep inside, even though i believe its a kind thing to say and to be polite when said, if it is used to many times, it tends to be redundant and the meaning of the word starts to fade. So chose your words correctly and make decisions that you wont regret.

I personally think it's a little weird to say thanks so casually, thus I never really say thanks unless it's someone that respects others that deserves such gratitude.
So if my friend buys me a car, I'd just go "oh."

Yes! I feel that "Thank you" is very important! In fact, it has now become a habit of mine to say "Thank you" all the time. Even if I don't like the person and even if they did something simple like moving aside to let me through, it'd kill me to not say "Thank you"! X3 I just have to! I think it's good to say thank you, because at least one person will feel very happy if you say that.
I defended a friend from these people gossiping about her (she wasn't there) and then the next day, she found out what I did and said "Thank you", those two simple words made me feel good inside. "Thank you" is very rewarding if you don't take it for granted. I don't. I cherish the words "Thank you".

Yeah, whenever someone does something for me, or goes out of their way to help me, i gratefull thatn them, without even thinking, I even bow sometimes...lol. [in which thier kinda like, 'er, what?'] Sometimes I even say "I'm sorry for the inconvience I caused you", or something llike that.

I generally say thanks or thank you, but somehow it tends to feel strained; as if I'm only saying it because it's expected. I think people should get in the habit of already knowing that you're grateful, and that words are not required.
Yep, cuz i am a polite girl! But i can be mean sometimes if i am not in a good mood. LOL.
Yes, I say that often becaus I think that if I don`t do that one two or three times, person never helps me again and maybe never speaks to me again. And I never refuse somebody in help and often hear this words, said for me.
Yes i say thanks a lot, in my 1st wall i've left a message in all the members that gave me fav+. thanking them for the vote





bye bro!
