Re: Does It Annoy You If People Don’t Say, Please, Or Thank You?

I always thank people when they hold doors open for me, I usually get a thank you in return too.

So do I Tiff.
I hate it when people walking through a door don't 'take ' the door from you.
I have been known to say Hey I'm not the doorman you know !

Good, our children were expected to say, 'Thank you', as soon as they learned to talk.

Yes Art, it really annoys me. I think it shows how a person was brought up to show good manners. A simple please or thank you is expected by most people when either asking for something or receiving something.

I have used the word aggressively myself in the past and no doubt will do again when it is warranted. Namely in a shop or checkout at the supermarket. I appreciate they can be very busy but If I have spent money and the shop assistant or checkout cashier shoves my change with the receipt into my hand without so much as a thank you, I usually just stare at them and say in a loudish and slowish voice...T H A N K Y O U!! they certainly get the message that the very least I expect for spending my money with them is a simple thank you.

It's not hard to have manners. I reckon it's quite rude not to say please, thanks and sorry.
