At the risk of being serious for a moment, saying "please" and "thank you" are two of the lowest effort, highest reward, and plainly decent things you can do as a human.
- corodra 7y agoLooks like we found the Canadian! All jokes aside, yea... I mean... that's normally beaten into you as a child even if you grew up white trash. I would know.
- nnq 7y agoMuh. It's OK to be one of those endless-pleasers-and-thankers, that's how you are... but stop being so fucking condescending about it! ...some of us "other kind" of people actually consider excessive politeness as offensive because it wastes time and pollutes conversations and after a certain we'll start actually being offensive with people like you, and you'll just stare amazed at how horrible people we can be! When in fact we're just snapping unable to put with more verbal abuse coming in terms of "please" and and "t you" from people like you.
- qorrect 7y agoThank you please.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoThanks for your input nnq. Please tell us more. Thanks!
- edw 7y agoI advocated saying please and thank you, so I obviously believe that the more often one utters the phrases, independent of any context, the better human being one is? Not everyone is relentlessly virtue signaling or karma whoring, whether in IRL or on HN.
